Esore Alle’s “Such Pretty Lies”: Finding Strength in the Beautiful Untruth.

Esore Alle is the exciting music project of 21-year-old AJ Montague, based in the West Midlands. Refusing to stick to just one style, Esore Alle mixes art-pop, glam, and alternative rock to create a sound that is both bold and easy to enjoy. Drawing inspiration from queer expression and the world of theater, he creates music to make you think, feel deeply, and even find a reason to smile when dealing with tough topics. His new single, “Such Pretty Lies,” is much more than a standard pop song; it’s a detailed, dramatic performance that brings the energy of modern alternative music together with the flair of musical theater.

The song “Such Pretty Lies” is put together in a very smart way. The song starts with a clear, steady piano beat that makes you feel like you’re at the start of a big show. This light, bouncing feel quickly gets heavier from some strong rock parts. A deep, constant bass sound and sharp, hard drums keep the song solid. When the main part (the chorus) arrives, the sound explodes with huge power, making the music feel as big as a movie. Every instrument and little sound is set in the perfect spot to build the excitement, proving the song was made to feel like a complete, well-thought-out happening.

Such Pretty Lies

A standout part of the track is the way Esore Alle sings, which shows two sides of the same story. In the verses, his voice is warm and personal, drawing the listener in as if sharing a secret or a private chat. This makes you feel included and aware of something special. But when the song reaches its peak in the chorus, his voice gets loud and commanding, backed up by rich harmonies that sound like a powerful group singing together. This change moves the private feeling into a public statement, positioning the singer as someone who has faced a hard truth and is now standing proud.

At its core, “Such Pretty Lies” is a smart look at why people need to create beautiful, simple stories in their lives. The song talks about how real life, especially when it comes to relationships, is often too messy or fragile to deal with head-on. Instead, we choose to build and believe in polished narratives to keep things going, manage our emotions, and find comfort. Esore Alle suggests this is not being fake, but rather an act of emotional strength. The song makes the bold point that true connection can come from a shared agreement to admire and keep up the beautiful version of a story. It’s a powerful cheer for the artistry involved in choosing a better-told story over the boring, plain facts.

The song “Such Pretty Lies” is put together in a very smart way. It starts with a clear, steady piano sound that makes it feel like the start of a big show. Because it has good music and important ideas, the song feels very strong right now and gives a message that people will keep in mind for a long time.
