"Atlanta-based McCall revels in dysfunction on “Stone Cold"

Atlanta-based singer-songwriter McCall recently dropped the video for her latest single, "Stone Cold", an ode to the relationship mismatches we can't seem to let go of. With love and dysfunction at its core, she serves up pop with a healthy side of blues rock - the perfect blend of her blues club open mic circuit background with perfect pop sensibilities. "It's all about the feeling of being infatuated by someone who doesn’t treat you well,” says the singer. - Fader


"WITNESS THE BIRTH OF MCCALL, GODDESS OF DARK POP"

Rising popstress McCall was born in Atlanta, Georgia, a far cry from Rome, but addresses these misadventures in love in her latest single, “Stone Cold.” McCall is only 20, but her lyrics speak to the universal experience of being unable to pull away from a bad relationship. Bubbling with venom and perfectly cut with McCall’s silky vocals, the elements combine to create an upbeat pop banger with dark undertones.

After a few years studying Popular Music at the University of Southern California, McCall dropped out to pursue music full time. Since then, she’s released her single “Why I’m Here,” and “Stone Cold,” which teases her forthcoming album. Her phrasing and lyricism speak for themselves, and her presence both onstage and through DSPs is magnetic.



“Stone Cold” plays on the vulnerabilities that come with the back and forth of a toxic relationship. She sings,

“You’re so stone cold, talkin’; like you own me. I’m so wrapped up in everything you say. Over again leaving me lonely, but I can’t walk away.”

Directed by Griffin Meyer, the accompanying video for “Stone Cold” plays off the ethereal qualities often seen in depictions of Venus. Tight shots of the female form, porcelain statues and a plush velvet couch all allude to the softness Venus represents.
The video takes a turn as McCall smashes the face of a statue with a golden hammer and jams out on guitar while a banner of Venus goes up in flames, giving the goddess of love a message about her shoddy work. If the single wasn’t addicting enough on its own, the video takes McCall’s project to another level by pushing rich elements of art history and greek mythology to the forefront of the story.

Stay tuned for more from McCall soon, and keep your distance from Venus in the meantime. - HOLR

Atlanta-born, LA-based singer-songwriter, McCall is leaving an indelible mark on the music scene.

"McCall - DREAM TOUR"

Okay, there are three ways this can go and I’ll give it to ya quick.



I mean, obviously, my dream tour would be Cher, Stevie Nicks, Trixie Mattel and I doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show-style live show except the movie is Burlesque and Cher is reprising her role of Tess LIVE! I play Stanley Tucci’s character, Trixie is Xtina Aguilera’s character, and Stevie is her sugar daddy, Marcus Gerber.



OR. bülow, Donna Missal, Carlie Hanson and I start an indie/alternative/pop/psych/underground/salsa girl group called Lapp Dogg or something (still workshopping it) and tour around the world forever and ever.



OR. I just get to open for The Japanese House on tour and cry my eyes out every night watching her play “Face Like Thunder.” What a freakin dream. - Digital Tour Bus


"Music Monday: 5 Songs You Need to Hear Today"

As a 90s kid, I grew up on music featuring badass women with guitars. It spoke to me as a little gay brown person. PSA: don’t let the world tell you what you can’t do. “Stone Cold” simply put, rocks and is so lyrically relatable. McCall is the goosebumps and excitement you get from hearing something fresh and wanting to claw your way to the source of it all. - NewNowNext
