Single Review ‘Call’ by ReeToxa
Reetoxa’s
new single Call is a rare kind of ballad—one that feels both fragile and
cinematic, understated yet unforgettable. Originally closing out the band’s
first LP, it might have been overlooked in the age of playlists and shuffled
streams, but as a standalone release it shines with quiet brilliance.
The track
is rooted in personal heartbreak. Written after frontman Jason’s fleeting
reunion with an ex-partner during a brief escape to the Gold Coast, Call
captures the bittersweet ache of a connection reignited and then lost again.
The song’s very premise—the longing for a phone call that will never
come—resonates universally, carried by a performance that is as haunting as it
is tender.
Musically, Call is a masterclass in restraint. The vocal delivery is ghostly yet intimate, weaving longing into every syllable. Shimmering guitars drift like half-remembered dreams, while the drums provide a steady, heartbeat-like pulse that mirrors the weight of waiting. The bass ties everything together, anchoring the track’s delicate textures in something tangible, giving the melancholy an undeniable warmth.
What makes Call
truly stand out is its emotional honesty. It’s not a grand anthem or a dramatic
outpouring—it’s a quiet moment suspended in sound, a reflection of love, loss,
and the silence in between.
With Call,
Reetoxa remind us that sometimes the most powerful songs whisper rather than
shout. It’s a haunting goodbye wrapped in beauty, and a single that absolutely
deserves its moment in the spotlight.
