2ŁØT have got your back with their earnest and endearing new single Call For Me — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
We could all use a little help and hope in these uncertain time, and that’s what these Kansans supply in spades on this uplifting single. Underpinned by a gently pumping Latin-tinged house groove, decorated synths that pulse, burble and growl, and topped with anthemic vocals and backups with gospel overtones, the tracks hits the sweet spot between umpteen genres — while harnessing the power of music to heal and empower.
And no wonder. After all, there are bands that make music, and then there are bands that make music with meaning. 2ŁØT, a rising collective known for breaking genre boundaries, fall firmly in the latter category. With Call For Me, they offer a moving, reflective track that’s both intimate and universal, taking listeners on a journey of love, support and connection.
At first listen, Call For Me feels like a warm embrace — a soulful blend of heart and groove. But what truly sets the song apart is its deeper message: That in moments of struggle, love and connection can be powerful sources of healing. This isn’t just another love song; it’s a call to action to be present for those we care about. The heartfelt lyrics and soothing rhythm make it a safe space where emotions are embraced, not hidden.
The video for Call For Me adds another layer to the story. It follows a woman who’s dealing with the fallout of a broken relationship and struggling with addiction. Through music and connection, she finds a path toward recovery. It’s a raw, emotional portrayal of resilience that brings the song’s message to life: You don’t have to go through it alone.
2ŁØT have always been a band that stands out for their unique sound, but they’re equally known for their commitment to social change. The proceeds from Call For Me will support The Phoenix, a non-profit that builds sober communities through fitness and emotional connection. It’s a partnership that highlights the band’s dedication to tackling issues like addiction and isolation, using their music as a tool for real-world impact.
In addition to their social advocacy, 2ŁØT’s sound is one of the most distinct in today’s music landscape. The five-member group combines elements of hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, rock, and electronic music to create something entirely their own — what they call electronic jam music (EJM). Each member of the band brings a different musical influence to the table, creating a sound that feels fresh and dynamic. There’s a sense of improvisation and fluidity to their music, which makes each song feel like a new discovery, yet always grounded in deep emotion.
Their previous release Arrow of Time, featuring Michael Kang from String Cheese Incident, set the stage for this new chapter, exploring themes of time and presence. With Call For Me, 2ŁØT shift focus to the enduring power of love and connection. Both singles, alongside their upcoming debut album, show that 2ŁØT are blurring the lines between genres while speaking to the human experience.
For 2ŁØT, the music is personal. Formed during a period of immense change, the band’s members — Rudy Love Jr., Omar Jawar II, Sage Judd, Chase Koch and Robert Trusko — see their music as a reflection of the world around them, a world where healing and connection are more important than ever. Their ability to fuse rich musical textures with emotionally charged narratives has earned them a growing fanbase, eager for the release of their debut album later this year.
Whether you’re tuning in for the groove or the message, one thing is clear: 2ŁØT are a band with heart. Call For Me not only showcases their impressive musical range but also their commitment to making the world a better place — one song, one connection, one community at a time.
