US-based Dutch native Femkes latest track, Love Somebody Else, is a forlorn and haunting exploration of a relationship gone awry, where love turns into obsession and trust gives way to betrayal.

The song opens with delicate instrumentals and a soft and subtle backdrop that allows Femke’s emotive vocals to take centre stage. The lyrics are a poignant narration of a personal experience, one that Femke herself lived through. The tale of an ex-boyfriend turned stalker is chilling, and the duality of his character is captured with a deft touch.

“You never turned back wouldn’t take my calls / As if I’d turn you to a pillar of salt,” she sings, her voice imbued with a sense of longing and regret. The imagery is vivid, and the pain is palpable.

The chorus is a cry of despair, a question that echoes in the hearts of anyone who has loved and been deceived: “Why would you make me / Love somebody else?” It’s a question without an answer, a wound that never fully heals.

Femke’s lyrics are not just words; they are memories, scars, and lessons learned the hard way. “Even the devil was an angel sometimes,” she reflects, a line that encapsulates the very essence of the song.

Love Somebody Else is a song that doesn’t shy away from the dark corners of love. It speaks to anyone who has ever been fooled by a facade.

Listen to it with an open heart, and you may find a piece of your own story within its haunting melody.
