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.
