Berlin-based Pablo Brooks, a 21-year-old German artist, infuses his deeply personal introspection into anthemic pop songs designed for the grand stage. Having toured extensively across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Austria, and Switzerland between 2022 and 2023, Brooks has fully embraced “his queerness and the Disney-loving child in him and is throwing it back with a brand new sound, merging the sounds of early 2000s club music with modern themes of queerness, love in the digital age and insecurities.” Brooks’ latest release is “Never Really Over.”

With its infectious blend of dance-ready electro elements, “Never Really Over” sets the stage for a bittersweet exploration of love’s complexities. The lyrics, like “You wanna take it slow, but I go light-speed” and “We won’t talk for months, then you’ll call me up,” paint a poignant picture of the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being trapped in a cycle of breaking up and getting back together. Pablo Brooks infuses the track with passion and a raw, relatable narrative, offering listeners an ultra-catchy pop tune that delves into the struggles of saying goodbye for good in relationships. So, hit play and dive into the ups and downs of love with “Never Really Over.”
