In the sonic tapestry of RHEIN’s latest single, “Beter,” the artist delicately weaves a compelling narrative that transcends the boundaries of conventional music. As the musical alter-ego of Reinier van den Haak, known for his contributions to Krach and Roosbeef, RHEIN introduces a neo-Freudian dimension to his creative repertoire. This artistic endeavor emerges as a fusion of his psychological insights and a profound dedication to musical expression.
“Beter” serves as a luminous chapter in the forthcoming EP, “Die Traumdeutung,” a project steeped in the exploration of dreams. Collaborating with accomplished musicians like producer/bassist Erik Harbers and jazz drummer Ruud Voesten, RHEIN forms a trio that seamlessly blends expertise and innovation. The EP’s recording and mixing, entrusted to Gijs Coolen, further ensures a sonic landscape enriched with diverse influences.
Translated from Dutch, the lyrics of “Beter” unfurl a contemplative journey through introspection.

RHEIN’s ability to infuse psychological depth into musical expression shines brilliantly in “Beter.” The song stands as a testament to the artist’s commitment to unraveling the complexities of the human experience through melody and lyricism. As RHEIN embarks on this innovative musical journey, “Beter” stands tall, offering listeners an entrancing glimpse into the artist’s exploration of dreams, emotions, and the ever-evolving nature of the self.
