There’s a reason both GQ and Rolling Stone pinned Lánre as a striking breakout talent. The Atlanta-based creative has developed a luscious, electrifying, and flirty artistic brand that thrives in between pop, dance, and R&B, a formula that we have seen play out over and over again rather successfully (‘Need That’ and ‘Last Night Alone’ are the perfect evidence of that). ‘Call Me Back’ is the newest addition to Lánre’s impressive catalogue, a groovy, uplifting single that opens the floodgates to a triumphant year.
Boasting a large following on social media and a more than healthy streaming count, it’s clear that the project resonates with a sizeable audience worldwide. In that sense, we feel as though ‘Call Me Back’ represents a perfect fit for Lànre: thanks to the track’s dance-oriented, sultry character, the record has the ability to reach a mainstream audience without losing the American troubadour’s authenticity and uniqueness. Produced by UK producer p.i.n.k.b.o.y. and longtime collaborator Mileage, ‘Call Me Back’ caters to both late-night club sessions and evening-time home listening.
Crowning it all, we find Lánre’s expansive and hypnotic vocals, here indulging in crepuscular melodies and an extremely catchy chorus. Sharing hints of house nostalgia, the record embraces bold yet playful self-confidence, blurring the line between romantic introspection and tongue-in-cheek delusion. One could say that Lánre wears his red flags on his sleeves, at least in the context of the song. With summer on the horizon, we suspect that ‘Call Me Back’ will become a bit of an anthem for some folks out there…
