Episode: J.M. Dee
Description: J.M. Dee has never been interested in standing still, and “Pretend To Hate” feels like another confident step forward for an artist who treats genre as a suggestion rather than a rule. Based in Naples, Florida after growing up just outside Washington, D.C., Dee has built a reputation on unpredictability, and this release reinforces that identity by leaning into warmth and emotional clarity rather than bombast.
