I’ve always believed that simplicity has a universal appeal, especially when it’s enhanced with a touch of creativity. Sunset Salore has unveiled her captivating single “Call It,” which made its exclusive debut on AAA Backstage on July 12, 2024. This track has not only charted on both the World Indie Music Chart and the European Indie Music Chart, but it has also become the most streamed song on her EP. Allow me to share more details.
With its innovative music video, captivating melody, and catchy chorus, “Call It” quickly caught my attention. This song offers a distinctive blend of alternative and dark pop, drawing inspiration from artists like Florence & The Machine, Meg Mac, and Baker Boy, making it relatable to a wide audience. The video features Madison Sewell and Sunset Salore, and it recently earned the Special Award at the Season 16 Europe Music Video Awards. Additionally, I must acknowledge the contributions of Adi Ringma and Bec Marshall in videography, directing, production, and color grading, which resulted in a stunning music video that stands out as one of the best I’ve encountered this year.
The combination of the melody, songwriting, and her emotive, powerful vocals makes this track truly captivating, especially as it touches on the relatable theme of micro-moments in a relationship that leads to dissatisfaction, ultimately resulting in the choice to end it. The song embodies a sense of assertiveness and empowerment that arises from recognizing one’s worth. “This song is about addressing all the little micro-moments in a relationship that don’t stack up anymore, and in that moment, deciding to call time on everything. Essentially, it’s saying, I’ve had enough with the status quo – this isn’t good enough, I deserve better. I wanted this track to convey the assertiveness that comes with that acknowledgement, and to feel powerful in that moment. “ – Sunset Salore
“Call It” is featured on her newest EP, “Love Kills the Monsters,” which can be found on all major online stores and streaming platforms.
