Emerging alt-pop and indie rock artist Rob Eberle has just released his latest single, “LYING WITH THE ENEMY”, now available to download and stream across all major platforms. This track, which dropped on May 30, is the fourth single from his highly anticipated debut album “SIGNAL FADES” and is already being described as a pivotal moment in his musical journey. This acts as the follow-up to his previous single which shares the same name as his forthcoming album.
Hailing from Long Island and now calling Los Angeles home, Rob Eberle describes “LYING WITH THE ENEMY” as the most meaningful track he’s created so far. Written by Jillian Rossi, Nick Axel Kauffman, and Rob Eberle, the track brings a haunting energy that widens into an addictive rhythm that matches his vocal tone brilliantly and the hugely relatable narrative of the song’s lyrics.
Inspired by the emotional fallout of a long-distance relationship, the song delves into the disorienting mix of feelings that arise when someone from your past suddenly reappears, stirring up unresolved pain. With a moody, cinematic production built on shadowy synths and thunderous guitars, Eberle channels the chaos of heartbreak through a fiercely expressive vocal performance. It’s a track that feels tailor-made for those restless nights spent replaying what went wrong.
The storyline expands into a self-empowerment track that we can all get behind. The bridge stings with brutal honesty about his feelings towards this person which sees him focusing inwards for emotion and hitting one powerful falsetto that just adds to the relatability. The single’s dark, atmospheric vibe offers a glimpse into the overall themes of “SIGNAL FADES”, which explores the fragile balance between holding on and letting go, and the tension between who we were and who we’re becoming.
“This is the song I’ve waited my whole life to release,” says Eberle. “It’s the most honest I’ve ever been, and I hope it gives people permission to feel everything they’ve been holding back.”
Rob Eberle’s musical influences—including FINNEAS, Billie Eilish, Jeremy Zucker, and Alexander 23—shine through in his genre-bending approach, blending introspective lyrics with indie rock energy. His previous EP, “COLLATERAL DAMAGE”, gained impressive traction with over 400,000 streams, proving his ability to connect authentically with listeners.
Beyond his recorded work, Rob Eberle has been making notable live appearances in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, and Austin, including performances at acclaimed festivals such as SXSW and ACL. His recent single, “goodbye (to someone you love)”, has also seen impressive chart success and has been earning rotation alongside other indie hits.
As Rob Eberle continues to build momentum with high-profile collaborations and a rapidly expanding fan base, “LYING WITH THE ENEMY” stands out as a powerful anthem of emotional honesty and artistic growth. For fans of heartfelt alt-pop with an edge, this is one release not to miss.
