"Something Strange" is a house song by Dutch electronic music duo Vicetone featuring American singer-songwriter Haley Reinhart. It was released on 2 November 2018 by independent record label Monstercat.
"Something Strange" is the lead single off Vicetone's extended play Elements.[1] It peaked at 23 on Billboards Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts.
In an interview with Billboard, Den Boer and Pool said about the song's performance: "We put a lot of effort into making this track special and we want to incorporate a lot of organic instruments. We're really happy how the track turned out and it's very rewarding to see it perform well."[2] Talking about the songwriting with CelebMix, Reinhart said "This tune has such electricity in it, as the lyric expresses a darker side of a relationship."[3]
Grant Gilmore of EDMIdentity described the song as "relatable to anyone who has had to say goodbye to someone who broken another’s trust and is not deserving of their love."[4] Katie Stone of EDM.com called the song " an upbeat, pop-centric track with a not-so-upbeat meaning."[5] Omar Serrano of Run the Trap called the song "a melodic fireball" and praised the vocals for its "devils advocate" hook.[6] Talking about Elements as a whole, Brett Callwood of LA Weekly praised the song for its melodic intro and the contrasting tones between the lyrics and production.[7]
