Let’s be honest — not enough songs talk about the soul-crushing dread of going back to work after a weekend escape.
Enter IAMJALEO, the DMV artist who’s made a career out of turning emotional turbulence into genre-bending gold. His new single “Call Out” is a woozy, introspective anthem for anyone who’s ever stared at the ceiling Sunday night and thought: what am I even doing?
IAMJALEO’s signature style is all over this track — part hip-hop, part soul, part something else entirely. It opens like a sigh and builds into a smoldering slow jam, with sparse production that gives his vocals space to stretch and simmer. Think lo-fi with teeth. It’s chilled out, but never flat — every layer adds tension, like a storm you can feel building in the distance.
His lyrics are refreshingly blunt in that “you’ve definitely thought this but never said it out loud” kind of way. There’s no pretense here. Just honesty, frustration, and the deep-down hope that maybe — just maybe — we don’t have to settle. IAMJALEO doesn’t shout. He confides.
And the best part? “Call Out” doesn’t try to wrap things up in a bow. It doesn’t fake a happy ending. Instead, it leaves you sitting in that beautifully awkward space between breakdown and breakthrough — and somehow, it feels like the most honest place to be.
IAMJALEO is one of those artists who keeps getting harder to define — and that’s exactly why we’re obsessed. With “Call Out,” he reminds us that sometimes the most radical thing you can do is feel something — and put it into a song this good.
