There’s something about a 2AM voicemail you were never supposed to hear. That’s the kind of emotional rawness RICO JUAN bottles in his new single “CALLIN.” It’s a heartbreak unraveling in real time, complete with missed chances, late-night realizations, and a desperate grip on something slipping away.
Floating over moody, atmospheric production, RICO JUAN delivers a vocal that feels more like a personal conversation than a performance. His cadence wavers between smooth remorse and passionate confession, making each line hit with gut-level sincerity. “CALLIN” is about admitting you blew it and still dialing the number anyway.
He blends vulnerability and bravado with lines like “Lost me at Starlets” and “You know what my is,” little flashes of lived-in moments that make the song feel painfully real. The repetition of the hook drives home the obsession and cyclical regret that comes with a love you can’t quite let go of.
“CALLIN” is RICO JUAN at his most transparent, flawed, honest, and emotionally available. It’s a melodic reckoning that captures the push-pull of modern love, where pride and pain play tug-of-war. The message is clear: when the heart’s still in it, the calls don’t stop.
With this release, RICO JUAN cements himself as an artist unafraid to bleed on the beat. “CALLIN” might be for one person, but it’s sure to resonate with many.
