With a reputation for pushing boundaries and defying genres, Coumarin returns with “Remedy“, a track that is as much about closure as it is about fresh beginnings. This latest release by the German singer-songwriter Andre Westerholt marks the culmination of a multi-year series of stand-alone singles, each representing to his evolving sound and unflinching honesty.
“Remedy” is a beautiful journey that captures the complexity of human emotions—dreams, love, and regret—wrapped in a lush, atmospheric soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Coumarin has always had a knack for creating melodies that resonate deeply, but “Remedy” elevates this talent to new heights. It’s a track that invites listeners to dance through their feelings, with its catchy rhythm and soaring vocals balancing the weight of its introspective lyrics.
At its core, “Remedy” is a song about regret, but Coumarin’s treatment of the theme is anything but somber. As he explains, “A subject matter like that could easily be leaning towards a darker tone…I tried to make the listener dance to it though.” This ability to blend emotions with musical vibrancy is what makes Coumarin’s work so compelling. The lyrics, vivid and evocative, paint a picture of love lost yet enduring, a flame that continues to burn even as the rain falls.
The song’s lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, capturing the tension between holding on and letting go. Lines like “I’m digging out my heart today / Hanging in the burning rain” and “You used to be my remedy” echo the universal struggle of finding closure while still feeling the pull of what once was. Yet, even in its melancholy, “Remedy” pulses with life, inviting listeners to move with the music and find their own rhythm within the song’s layered textures.
As the final piece in his series of singles, “Remedy” not only ties together the threads of Coumarin’s previous releases but also hints at new directions. This track serves as both an end and a beginning, a reflection on past experiences and a look forward to what’s next. “It’s always sad when a chapter like this ends,” Coumarin admits, “but I’m incredibly excited for the future of Coumarin—stay tuned!”
So, whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the world of Coumarin, “Remedy” is a must-listen. It’s a track that lingers long after the final note, a song that you’ll find yourself returning to, discovering new layers with each listen. Join Coumarin on this final step of his journey, and stay tuned for the next chapter—because if “Remedy” is any indication, the future of Coumarin is bright indeed.
