Michigan-hailing rising pop act Ike Rhein drops catchy track “Could’ve Been,” diving into the mistakes made during a relationship, and the growth that happens past a broken relationship.
Taken from his upcoming debut project Memoir, the song marries up-and-coming vocalist Tatiana’s air vocal style with that of Rhein’s crisp delivery, with a back and forth harmonisation that leaves us playing the song on repeat.
Despite exploring a sober theme of love lost, “Could’ve Been,” manages to be upbeat and infectious with a dreamy pop soundscape and joyous lyricism pulling out the hopeless romantic nestled away in each one of us.
Described by Rhein as a hopeful track “that drives the point that people can change,” the track showcases the 21-year-old act’s musical and personal maturity. Having used music as his safe space growing up. Ike Rhein’s music builds a sonic world in which we can find comfort with a rich fusion of nostalgia and hope.
