"All I do these days / Is trying to forget your face / Dreaming of suburbia / We could live so loud before we die..."
The emotional pop burn scars of "Someone Else's Man" by, Germany based singer-songwriter / composer / musician Lara Snow, is a stirring bit of dream pop. The broad sonic strokes spilling from the dramatic balladic piano chords, the guitar notes soaring or falling like shooting stars and percussive beats that feel melancholy in themselves all works as a framework for Snow's evocative vocal personna. To some, the sense might feel like 80's baroque pop while there are ambient sounds that might feel like transmissions from space. I can also feel a melodramatic artistic flair that pushes into art rock and even a kind of surfy Lana Del Rey pop noir atmosphere. In this sense there is something about "Someone Else's Man" that feels grounded in Earthen soil but also feels surreal at the same time and I love that.
As a pure modern distillation of many genres, Lara Snow's "Someone Else's Man" feels like a balladic iteration of bedroom pop on high, a tortured love or broken love song but during another past time, this could have been an 80's song belted out by an artist like Bonnie Tyler or Celine Dion with big hair styles.
"All I do these days
Is trying to forget your faceDreaming of suburbia
We could live so loud
before we die
Keep on falling through
This rabbit hole was made for two
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you"
LINER NOTES (bracketed):
[The single Someone Else’s Man is the first release from her upcoming debut album, set to be released later this year.]
[The song explores a love that one can only dream of — a love so powerful yet impossible to exist. It was written a few months after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic when Snow ended a seven-year relationship, let go of everything she once knew, and embarked on a transformative journey in search of deeper meaning.]
[Produced by Sun Tailor, the track is a powerful, raw, and honest dream-pop/sadcore ballad wrapped in lush guitars and synths — sounds that transport the listener into Lara Snow’s midsummer night’s dream.]
[Lara Snow’s debut album features collaborations with highly regarded producers and artists, including Sun Tailor, Roy Avital (Garden City Movement), Gilbert Broid (The White Screen), and more.]
