SANSOM – Call Me (2025)
Influenced by the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Tigercub, and Royal Blood, singer-songwriter SANSOM inspires his signature sound with differing hues of alternative rock. The solo project of UK-based Edward Sansom, SANSOM is not merely a rock-infused blast of sound but touches your heart with his music and poetic lyricism. Already becoming a known figure in the UK music scene, his performances ooze confidence, energy and engaging intoxication; however, for those who are unable to enjoy his festival performances (including The Great Escape, Isle of Wight, Camden Rocks and Glastonbury), we can enjoy his music using your preferred streaming site. Join us as we jump into his most recent single, ‘Call Me’.
Following his well-received single, ‘Burn The Bridges’, ‘Call Me’ taps its hat at Queens of the Stone Age, slicing the heavier hard rock sound with daubs of old-school 90s indie-rock and alternative rock – those different hues of rock rushing toward a growing distinctiveness. Recorded at Brighton Electric Studios and mastered at Abbey Road with producer Alex Gordon, ‘Call Me’ has the maturity of a solid, sophisticated, well-structured rock song; however, the shining light of originality, authenticity, and raw grittiness simmers beneath the surface.
In a tumultuous blast of whirlwind music, crashing drums match a bold bass while scorching guitars soar, adding potency to the powerful tune. One might feel oneself being tossed from pillar to post in the sonic hurricane, facing walls of sound gleaming in their kaleidoscopic glory; however, simultaneously, there is soothing and sincerity in ‘Call Me’ so you appear to be holding the hand of an old friend while twirling about in the fascinating song.
Setting himself apart with the anthemic ‘Call Me’, SANSOM shows his chops with the melody, but further weightiness can be heard in the lyricism. Tackling the intricacies of relationships, SANSOM explores the complexities of unstable relationships, the pain of infidelity, and all those confusing, frustrating, “oh gees, what the hell” moments in between.
