Like a panicked joke from someone whoвЂ™s unwillingly let down their emotional guard, itвЂ™s a disappointing yank back down to earth. Tongue in cheek, perhaps, but itвЂ™s an irony-meter busting moment that crumbles вЂ™Somebody ElseвЂ™вЂ™s more admirable, even (whisper it) heartfelt sentiments. вЂњGet someone you love, get someone you need - fuck that, get money,вЂќ he squawks at the trackвЂ™s mid-point, in the most вЂ™sorry, what?вЂ™ moment since KanyeвЂ™s last tweet-storm. Snatching at influence from all over, вЂSomebody ElseвЂ™вЂ™s kaleidoscopic mishmash of RвЂ™nвЂ™B du jour only serves to drown out The 1975вЂ™s signature in the process. Despite his insistence that вЂSomebody ElseвЂ™ is вЂњa straight up 1975 songвЂќ, it instead feels like heвЂ™s desperate to live up to the trackвЂ™s title. When that dreamscapeвЂ™s pulled away, though, Healy seems desperate to squeeze his way into someone elseвЂ™s leather trousers.

вЂњI donвЂ™t want your body, but I hate to see your body with somebody else,вЂќ he laments, a dizzying depiction of that gut-punch moment lost love brings. вЂњI took all my things that make sound,вЂќ he half-whispers, вЂњthe rest I could do without.вЂќ Hauntingly honest, itвЂ™s a chink-in-the-armour depiction of heartbreak like weвЂ™ve never seen from the band before. Lyrically, Matty Healy finally lays himself bare in the emotional sense, rather than just whipping off his top and skipping about, bottle of plonk in hand and fingers in his ears.ДЄt its best, itвЂ™s captivating. Gentle and soft-of-touch, itвЂ™s a slow jam in every sense of the word.
