"Heartbreaker", the electrifying second release from the female electro-pop duo Someone Who Isn't Me, (aka S.W.I.M) offers a mesmerizing journey through the depths of emotion, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Athens. With nine pulsating tracks, this album explores the complexities of love, loss, hope, and friendship, providing a captivating soundtrack for both the heartbroken and the hopeful.
From the mellow yet haunting melodies of the title track "Heartbreaker" to the frenetic energy of the bagpipe solo in "All Gone," each song immerses listeners in a dreamy synth-pop universe brimming with raw emotion and undeniable energy. "A Girl Like This" explodes with tales of femme-to-femme love, while the 130 bpm "Hope" shines as a beacon of light in the darkness. "My Endless Youth" is a power-pop gem dedicated to friendships, shouting "Our Friends Are Roots." Meanwhile, "Plato’s Bullshit" draws musical inspiration from shoegaze pop, offering a tribute to Lana Del Rey.
Someone Who Isn't Me crafts a sonic tapestry that is both ethereal and electrifying. Their hypnotic beats will carry you away on a dreamy pop journey, making "Heartbreaker" an album to be played on repeat, celebrating the duality of being "Dead Inside, Horny Outside".
