Bursting with that bubbly, vibrant 2010s pop energy, Hanne Leland’s ‘Call You Mine’ is about that very specific feeling of someone coming into your life, and spins you right off of your axis.
The instrumentation is defined by a colourful riot, with fun synths and electronic beats washing over the song generously. The song moves in paces, bringing in shifts that see the stripping of the layers in the song, which grounds the emotional intensity of certain sections. The song employs a typical slow burn sort of build up, ending in a cathartic emotional burst of energy. The song’s rhythms and grooves make it the perfect dancefloor number, getting you to involuntary move along to its magnetic, intoxicating beats. With its fun pop energy, this song could very well be a part of the soundtrack for a young adult rom-com.
Lyrically the song situates itself within that delicate stage of realising your heart moving to someone else's rhythms, and the chaotic acceptance of the fact that that someone has caught you completely off-guard. A sweet, emotional plea-like tone guides the lyricism in the song, where you do not know where you stand with regards to this person, but being guided nevertheless with endless hope that one day you can call them yours. Leland’s vocals occupy the perfect balance of vulnerability and a fun, flirty energy that isn’t afraid to go behind what the heart wants. Weaved in beautifully with warmth, and that off-guard emotionality, her vocals do impressively well in conveying the essence of the track.
If you’re looking for a song that would call out to your heart and get it to dance and smile, then look no further than ‘Call You Mine.’
