"Somebody Else" by Gabby Martin is a soulful dive into feeling and sensation, exploring the complexities of being close with another person. Romantic intimacy can feel sacred, and when a relationship comes to an end there can be a very real fear of never experiencing something that feels as special again. This emotional track takes on those worries, and captures the heartache and doubts that loom over the idea of moving on after a breakup. Throughout the verses, I was captivated by the singular warmth of adoration as the lyrics carried words of touch and sensation with so much passion I could feel it. Contrasting these ideas, the chorus wonders about the possibility of ever feeling the same way about anyone moving forward. With its genuine, vulnerable uncertainty, this track will have you lost in feelings of closeness and loss. Piano starts this soft journey, moving through a narrative sound of intimacy.

Delving into the chorus, I was struck with a highly cerebral feeling as the layered high singing draws out a powerful sense of introspection. Electronic instrumentals fold in resonant chords and percussion, separating the stuck-in-your-head meaning of the chorus from the much more tangible sound and lyrics of the verse. Strings and percussion join in the second verse, with a looming feeling of romantic melancholy. Building the dizzy worries and confusion into the bridge of the song, immense guitar, percussion, and vocalizing make a roar of expression before closing the track with the beautiful gloom of Gabby's vocals.
