“Call,” the latest single from ReeToxA, is a hidden gem, a ballad that clings to your soul for a long time. As a standalone track separate from his LP, “Call” is a haunting declaration of openness, longing, and life’s strange surprises. ReeToxA’s luck turned around financially despite difficult times, which proved enough of an excuse for a spur-of-the-moment trip from the cold, wet Melbourne winter to the Gold Coast’s sunny winter.
At the time, he ran into an old flame over the weekend, which inspired an ephemeral moment, an unsent goodbye, and an unobserved wish for a call that would never arrive. From the sun-kissed chaos of a perfect weekend to the silent coolness of Brisbane Airport, the emotional journey seeps into every chord and lyric. “Call” stands out in a world of genre-bending experimentation. Although ReeToxA’s LP spans hip hop, punk rock, grunge, and dream pop, this single, crafted with balladry in mind, exhibits timeless artistry.
The song explodes in shimmering, inspired drums that feel like a pulse within a human body, laid over with guitar melodies that wail like a missed connection. The bass tones form the song’s foundation and emotional resonance, holding the intricate soundscapes together. And then there is Jason’s singing, exquisitely haunted, intimate, and charming, drawing us into a world where sadness and charm coexist without contradiction.
It’s a song that is alive in its subtlety, and “Call” leaves the space to breathe and reflect. It’s a closing track that could’ve gone unnoticed, but the fact that it has emerged as a late bloomer single should be an indication enough that it’s a force to be reckoned with. For those who seek authenticity in both sound and storytelling, this is a moment to sit back, listen, and feel. In “Call,” ReeToxA brings you into a private, heartfelt moment of longing and reflection. It’s a reminder that it’s the quietest songs that sometimes make the most impact.
