From street performing troubadour to alt-pop indie darling, Danish artist FAVOR is well on his way to be one to watch in 2019 with the new single ”Call My Name”
The new single is a sizzling pop tune that continues FAVOR’s new direction towards a more organic instrumentation, this time he is flirting with the indie-disco genre giving more credit to the blogs on HYPE MACHINE that already compared him to artists like Kindness, Benny Sings and Blood Orange.
FAVOR wrote Call My Name during a hectic 2018 where every successful progress of the young songwriter’s career only made him wanting something more. ”I kept comparing myself to unrealistic standards. I haven’t made a Thriller-album at the age of 24 so what’s the point?” The songwriter realized that something had to change. First step was to get these vain thoughts out into the open. Call My Name became his confession box and the start of appreciating the journey instead of the goal.
lyrics
I can make-believe
Yep! little do they know that I lie
This summer gets me down
All the major shows
And I can barely gather a crowd
I got a new tune out
You find it on myspace
Might be getting airplay
my sound has got them jaded
Myself, I kind of hate it
I think I’m gonna make it
if you...
Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you like that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you want that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
I’m always aiming high
Yep! Baby oh you know that I’ve tried
To live within my means
make you believe
finally, I’m fine being me
My face is full of makeup
Made with magic markers
I do a fake accent
My ical’s all empty
It’s really kind of shady
it all is fucking worth it
If you just
Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you want that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you want that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you want that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
I can act if you want that
I can sing if you want that
I can dance if you shake that
just Call my name
