The keen reader might remember reading about LA-based pop phenomenon Emily Ricks. Featuring her previous effort ‘Farewell to my Youth’ earlier this summer, we proudly declared it as “exactly what it says on the tin; an honest, open and relatable anthem functioning as a cathartic hymn for its talented author”. We stand behind our words: Ricks’ songwriting is deeply personal, yet immensely relatable and universal.
‘Call It Falling’ represents Emily’s comeback, as well as a further insight into her nuanced artistry. Built over fast-paced, rock-lined guitar riffs and punchy drums, the track is the perfect match for the American songstress’ intense and charismatic vocals, here delivered with a certain fuzziness, a detail that adds lots of character to the whole piece.
Melodies are catchy and memorable, making for a track that’s likely going to be a hit at any live show. Speaking about the inspiration behind the lyricism, Ricks explains: “Call it Falling” is an anthem for those who have been heartbroken and have felt like they couldn’t get up off the ground”.
