Berthold Kusserow taps into a feeling many listeners will instantly recognise on his newest release, “Can’t Hear This Stuff No More”. Arriving with sparkling synth lines, crisp percussion and a polished soft pop-rock foundation, the Frankfurt-based songwriter transforms media fatigue into something unexpectedly uplifting.
Built around bright harmonies and a driving beat, the track balances its retro DNA with contemporary relevance. Echoes of New Romantic icons and classic synth-pop shimmer throughout, but Kusserow avoids simply recreating the past. Instead, he uses familiar sonic textures to frame a timely conversation about trust, information overload and the difficulty of separating fact from carefully constructed narratives.
What makes the single particularly compelling is its emotional duality. The production radiates optimism, while the lyrics quietly encourage listeners to question the stories they’re consuming every day. It’s a subtle approach that invites reflection without becoming heavy-handed, allowing the music’s infectious energy to remain front and centre.
As an independent artist, Kusserow continues to carve out a distinctive lane through thoughtful songwriting and meticulous musicianship. His collaborations with producers across Europe have further sharpened his sound, resulting in a record that feels both classic and current. “Can’t Hear This Stuff No More” is another confident step forward from an artist who understands that memorable pop often begins with asking the right questions.
“When I realized that I had been lied to in the media, the question arose, whether there has ever been a time when you could trust the news? This experience triggered the idea to write a song about this topic.” — Berthold Kusserow
