René Arbeithuber, a member of the bands Slut and Pelzig, is the sole artist behind “A Certain Someone.” After fifteen successful record productions with various bands and projects, he decided it was time to go on his own musical journey. A Certain Someone’s music is influenced by fascinating guitar-driven sounds from prominent acts such as Slowdive, Ride, The Sundays, and Interpol, as well as PJ Harvey and Depeche Mode. He gives forth a fresh and engaging combination of sound with an even more diversified musical inspiration encompassing 80s pop, 50s doo-wop, and hip-hop.
A Certain Someone’s new single “Suburbian” is a genre-bending, thought-provoking listen from the very start. It opens with subtle atmospheric instrumentals that immerse you in a dreamlike world. Once velvety smooth vocals slowly join in, it reaches another level of beauty.

The beat provides a steady undercurrent throughout, hinting at an underlying unease. Keys color the song with varied shades of sadness. When disorienting synths enter midway alongside the other elements, it’s as if your chaotic thoughts taking form. Despite all this, the song maintains a hypnotic, soothing quality.
It’s brilliant how multiple dimensions co-exist in this work of art. The song exudes a sense of calmness, yet beneath the surface, there are unsettling vibes. The execution is top-notch! Toward the end, when nostalgic synths swell in a breathtaking crescendo, it’s truly transcendent. Lyrically, the song explores a sense of upheaval, disillusionment, and the march of time. Lines like “You better walk on the right side, when the devil will drop the potion” carry a thoughtful message.
