There’s something magnetic about the way Leelo meets her emotions head-on in her latest track “Call Me“. Her hypnotic guitar lick immediately pulls you in, setting the tone for what feels like a confessional poem—delivered with a sweet, raspy timbre that is uniquely hers.
“Call Me” starts with a guitar lick that feels both intimate and haunting, guiding us into a story that’s as personal as it gets. Leelo sings about a moment in her life when her need for companionship collided with someone else’s expectations for something deeper. You can feel that tension bubbling beneath the surface, yet there’s a lightness to the track—a kind of easygoing energy that makes it all the more addictive. It’s like she’s telling you her story over a casual coffee, but the words stick with you long after.
The song’s core sentiment hits hard: “Why don’t you call me and tell me about all the bad things I’ve done if this is what gives you peace of mind“. It’s a line that sums up the emotional push and pull Leelo must’ve felt at that time—needing to be with someone yet being blindsided by their desire for more. The juxtaposition of the laid-back vibe and the weight of the lyrics adds depth to the track, making it one of those songs you’ll replay to uncover new layers.
