After the last notes fade to black, the ghost of Someone New continues to haunt you — it’s an utterly unforgettable record.

Like a parcel of breakup roses compressed into a confetti cannon, Helena Deland's debut album is explosive, belaboured and totally intoxicating.

It is an assured collection of music from an artist that is perceptive and immensely skilled and it is one of the best records you will hear this year.

Helena Deland gets incredibly close to penning the perfect pop album for the current moment.

Her ability to combine woozy guitars with killer synths and endlessly catchy melodies hasn’t disappeared, only softened and matured.

There is a haunting beauty to the music of Someone New that’s oddly enticing. You can feel the songs dragging you closer, like an unexplainable desire to explore the unknown.

Throughout Someone New, on top of its hypnotic mix of the strange and familiar, Deland's vulnerable voice helps make her self-conscious, searching commentaries all the more engrossing.
This album is a masterpiece. Every track is ethereal. Soothing, capturing and just out of this world. Made me a die hard fan. Lylz is one of the best tracks of 2020 in my opinion. Stream kids!
As a debut LP, this shows a lot Helena's potential as a singer/songwriter in indie based genre. I'm extremely surprised about how this exceeded my expectations, it's a solid record. Definitely one of my favorites of the year.
Helena Deland's debut is filled with cracks and whittles of an artist coming into her own but what it mostly is, is just forgettable bedroom pop-rock, one which can be and has been done better before.
Even with the massive potential, there's only so much it can do before it loses its glow.
