Chicago-based project Attack the Sound dazzles with a soulful pop captivation on new single “Wake Up Call,” balancing lyrical introspection and hooky spiritedness. Led by Davo Sounds, who is also an army veteran and fireman, Attack the Sound succeeds with a fusing of soul, R&B, pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz, and beyond. “Wake Up Call” is described as “a cry, a confession, and a call for empathy in a world that often overlooks the quietest screams.” As Davo explains: “This one came from the darkest corner of my mind. But it’s also about climbing out of that space. Music saved me — and I’m hoping this track helps someone else hang on.”
A tender guitar-led introduction melds with a lush rhythmic steadiness, as vocals arrive with a contemplative entrancement: “Trying to figure out what my life’s about.” Glistening keys enter seamlessly alongside, continuing the momentum as wordless vocals arrive alongside synth glimpses and further guitar entrancement; the hook there reminds enjoyably of Gnarls Barkley. The call-and-response “got to figure out,” sequence continues the enamoring, bolstered definitively by the “show me all my flaws,” beckoning and spacey electronic undercurrents. “Wake Up Call” is a fantastic production and replay-inducing charmer from Attack the Sound.
