The latest single from Chloé Sautereau, ‘Somebody Who’s Not Me’ is a quiet sanctuary of contemplation and vulnerability in a world often filled with noise and chaos. The Swiss-born singer-songwriter has written an exquisite stripped back acoustic track that captures the listener’s attention from the very first note.
This song starts out with rhythmic acoustic guitar, setting the scene for Chloé’s stunning vocals to take centre stage. Her emotive storytelling lyricism explores themes of insecurity and self-exploration that speak directly to any listener grappling with doubt and uncertainty in themselves or those they love. Layered vocals add further complexity as layers and subtle harmonies provide depth within this narrative that draws listeners in even further.
“Someone Who’s Not Me” invites listeners to reflect upon their own journey of self-discovery. Her lyrics offer insight into Chloe’s personal introspective journey while offering relatability for everyone else as well.
Chloé describes her inspiration behind this song in her own words: “‘Somebody Who’s Not Me’ came to me in a moment of true vulnerability, questioning and introspection. A moment where I felt stuck, unsure where to look, where to go, or if I was capable of what I was after. Of what I am after. So I tried to look within. This song poured out of me, stripped me down in a way that would only let me grow; it’s the song that’s just “me”, in a way that no song I’ve written before has felt. I always strive for honesty in my writing, but this has the kind of honesty that I think I had never dared to have with myself.”

After debuting with her EP ‘As I Keep on Dreaming’ at just 18, she has continually evolved her sound and thematic approach, offering up albums like ‘Somebody Who’s Not Me’ that showcase her artistry while delving deeper into human relationships and self-discovery.
