Cleve-L - Call Me
R&B, Funk, Rock
New York, United States
Overall Impression: Cleve-L combines old school instrumental vibes with timeless vocal tones to create the all-original Psychedelic R&B experience, "Call Me"! Retro synth tones and rich bass lines support Cleve-L's smoky vocals as "Call Me" draws listeners into a spacious and seductive soundscape.
Strongest Point(s): There's a lot that works in this track! The low-fidelity synth sounds feel like something straight out of the eighties, and infuse the song's atmosphere with a strong sense of nostalgia. Nice, full bass bass grooves keep things moving well and offset the mechanical drums brilliantly, and Cleve-L's vocal approach suits the overall sound perfectly! Great feel and a cohesive overall effect!
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of old school R&B, modern recreations of that sound and the resultant Psychedelic feel that accompanies it will find "Call Me" to be a promising release from Cleve-L - prompting eager ears towards whatever the artist produces next! - Jon W.
