### **The “Riveting” and “Spellbinding” Debut of ⏎ SOMEBODY SOMEONE

#### **New Single “Better” is Released Today⏎ Video Premieres _via_ American Songwriter

**OCTOBER 25, 2024 (Austin, TX) **– “I feel like I hadn’t marinated in its message
enough to believe it… and then, like magic, I did,” says Austin-based alt-pop artist**
SOMEBODY SOMEONE **(they/them) about their new single and video “**BETTER**” which
is released today, **October 25, 2024**. Premiered _via _[**American Songwriter**](https://reybee-com.dmailroute.net/x/d?c=43394006&l=c7c1364f-33f3-4e54-af9c-39185844494e&r=1349f2da-fbea-4cf7-88d5-6304ae17e63a)
who called the track “**spellbinding**” and “**riveting**,” the video is an arresting
introduction to the artist at the onset of their exciting musical journey.

“This song came to me at a time where I didn’t believe the words I was writing,”
they tell American Songwriter. “I was doing some deep inner work and learning to
have the same compassion I had for others for myself. So as I was writing this and
watching my pen move around on the page, I was sitting there thinking, ‘Where is
this coming from?’

“I’m not religious but I am spiritual. I believe in higher powers, ancestral nudges,
and universal truths delivered to people willing to accept them. The music I’ve 
written since penning this song has all been influenced by something greater than
myself and I feel like it has something to do with working with and not against 
my inner nature.”

**SOMEBODY SOMEONE “Better”**

Summoning the ghosts of Marianne Faithfull, Aldous Harding and Nick Drake, Somebody
Someone grew up in Gulfport, MS in a very music-oriented household. Awash in the
timeless harmonies of The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Mamas & The Papas from
their father’s record collection and embracing contemporaries like Fiona Apple and
Brandi Carlisle, they immersed themselves in sonic washes that seeped into the music
that influences their own music today. They began performing at age 10 at weddings
and country gatherings and even opened for Blake Shelton at the _Crawfish Music 
Festival _in 2007.

A fortuitous move to Austin (for a tech start-up that didn’t quite pan out), they
switched gears and jumped feet first into the music world full time.

The past year marked a profound turning point for the artist marked by challenges
related to health, gender identity, and a deeper understanding of their neurodivergence(“
I’m neuro-spicy”, they declare with a smile). They realized that music, once a refuge,
had become a mechanism for coping rather than a true reflection of their essence
as an artist.

“If other people didn’t, music always had space for my feelings,” they explained.“
But I didn’t feel good coming offstage. I felt as if I were made of glass. Exposing
only the most painful parts of myself was no longer sustainable.”

Now as they embark with “Better” as their first look, Somebody Someone is preparing
for their musical trip in 2025 with more music planned. “Hold my hand,” they say
excitedly. “We’re going to have some feelings, but we’ll get through it together.
It’s a mutual journey.”

“**Better**” is released today, **October 25, 2024 **and is available for streaming/
