An atmospheric success that balances grooving, hypnotic intrigue and bursts of colorful twangs, “calling out for a good life” is a consuming new single from ernie g. Taking inspiration from ’90s and 2000s indie and Britpop aesthetics, the track is described by ernie g as thematically dealing “with addiction, fast desire and emotional burnout.”
An initial folk-ready appeal rings out from crisp acoustic clanging, while a psychedelic undercurrent — coming via reverse sitar textures — captivates in seamlessly bridging the serene and charismatic. “Well, I don’t care if you love somebody, ’cause I hurt somebody,” the riveting vocals let out, gearing up memorably into a soaring “calling out for a good life” hook — reminding fondly of Beck in its artful pop heights and righteous mantra-like charm. The track represents a thorough success from the Germany-based artist.
