The New Regime Take a Softer Approach on New Song “She Had Me Wrong”

The New Regime takes an alternative sounding approach to  “She Had Me Wrong,” one song off of The New Regime’s 4 song EP, Body, that was released earlier this year. The soft and laid back nature of the tune is high paradoxical to how Ilan Rubin, the sole mind behind The New Regime, made his name.

The tune is Rubin laid bare, as just his acoustic guitar and vocals are on display with little production outside of those elements. Rubin somberly sings of a lover who left him for reasons he cannot comprehend, “I didn’t get a chance to say/ she had me wrong in every way.”

Although Rubin has not released a studio album under The New Regime since 2015 when Exhibit B dropped, he reinvigorated the solo project in the second half of 2019 when he released the music video for “A Way To Feel Again,” as well as “It’s Gonna Be OK“. Thew New Regime is also set to begin a slew of tour dates this March with Silversun Pickups

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
