The brilliant new single is out now on Decca Records. Imelda also released an accompanying music video:
Produced by Cam Blackwood at ICP Studios in Brussels, ‘Call Me’ is
a brand new recording of a track taken from Imelda’s breakthrough album ‘Life.
Love. Flesh. Blood’, which is one of the Top 5 best-selling British Female
Albums of 2017.
“I wrote ‘Call Me’ about the horrible time when you are willing the phone to ring, begging for the name to pop up, and it doesn’t,”says Imelda of the song. “I’ve always though it could work as a duet, and I think Jack totally nails his vocal. There’s so much longing in his voice, and there’s a truth to it too.”
Jack Savoretti says, “Recording this duet with Imelda and Cam was one of the best experiences I have ever had in a recording studio. The song is amazing and I am proud to be part of this.”
