When Inger Nova and Jeff Pevar come together for a collaboration, musical magic happens, case in point, the dynamic duo’s newest track, “Hear Me Calling”. The song effortlessly settles in with its opening note, a vibrant blend of blues, R&B, rock and roll, pop, and jazz influences, culminating in a sound that is fresh and timeless. “Hear Me Calling” is a feeling, a conversation, and an acknowledgement of the form of art that can result when two musicians can listen and respond and create in tandem.
Nova’s voice is magnetic, and it carries a warmth and sincerity that grants every lyric an intimate feel, almost a personal conversation with the listener. Pevar’s playing is the perfect foil to her, expressive yet precise guitar work that weaves its way through the song’s myriad of sounds with nonchalant grace. Together, they create a sound world that is both ornate and inviting, sophisticated yet fundamentally human.
It does so and yet feels natural, which is what distinguishes "Hear Me Calling." It draws depth and pulls from its bluesy core, weaves in neo-soul elements, and incorporates the roots of folk and rock to ensure that earthly energy powers the music. But none of the layers are ever stifling, ultimately playing to the song’s keystone heartbeat: an inescapable call that can’t be brushed aside.
