Call of Sirens Gives Listeners a Catchy and Relatable Track With New Single “Never Enough” (Review)

UK-based alternative rock band Call of Sirens has penned a musically catchy, lyrically relatable masterpiece with their new track, “Never Enough.”

With a surface layer of synth-pop underscored by the heavier alternative sounds listeners have come to expect from the band, “Never Enough” offers a glimpse into another side of Call of Sirens. Vocalist Leilani shows off her exquisite singing, playing with a range that reflects the emotions expressed in both the lyrics and the instrumentation to create a song one can actually feel.

“Why am I here, just to tell you how amazing you think you are?/Just sitting there with your glasses, your papers, your lovers, and your haters/It was never enough, never enough for you…”

“Never Enough” tells a story with which we can all connect: the tale of someone who has power over us and who is never satisfied, no matter how we try to please them. A parent, a spouse, a friend, there is always that person we strive to make happy or proud, but (s)he will not be appeased. With the aforementioned mix of music, words, and powerhouse vocals, Call of Sirens captures the frustrated powerlessness and painful resignation of never being enough.

“Never Enough” is the start of something new for Call of Sirens. The band has expertly walked the fine line between crafting a style that appeals to a wider audience while maintaining the familiar elements that attracted their old fans in the first place. I have been a fan since first hearing “Kenopsia,” and I am excited for this upcoming chapter in the band’s career!

“Never Enough” will be available everywhere on July 14th! You can pre-save the track here.

Six Scars Shares New Single, “Sleepwalking”

Six Scars is a hard rock/metalcore/alternative metal/shoegaze project from Virginia. Having put out two full-length albums – To Wilt and to Bloom: A Journey (2022) and Destruction in My Wake (2023) – Six Scars is keeping the train rolling, with several songs dropping since the release of the latter. Today sees the premiere of the latest non-album single, “Sleepwalking.”

I was able to ask vocalist JT about “Sleepwalking.”

“This song is about the changing of times, both good and bad. Being stuck in the ideals of yesterday, yet still embracing the future that is coming. Albeit hesitantly. There is also an undertone of being lethargic in life. Feeling complacent while the world passes you by.”

With “Sleepwalking,” Six Scars plays with the juxtaposition of hard and melodic, all while keeping a pure, raw energy that is unrivaled. There is an almost subconscious build up to the music, which erupts near the end with a heavy breakdown and the vocals switching from clean to growls. This journey of musicianship is crafted in a way that seems to echo the lyrical content. The steadiness is complacency, the listener sleepwalking through life, as it were. Could the climax be a sign of us finally accepting our future and waking up? You decide. Check out “Sleepwalking” here:

Keep up with all things Six Scars!
