Tom Adams is pushing the limits of the spectrum between pop and folk. “The Call,” his new single, is a tapestry of sounds and influences that stretches across generations in all the right ways.
Beginning with Tom’s voice – it’s one of those rare vocal timbres that manages to be both fresh and reminiscent of an era past. It has the calmness of folk-pop, the evocative depth of ballads, and the revitalizing energy of modern pop – this is no easy feat to manage. This is where Adams excels, merging the easy-listening and comforting melodies with spirited tunes of hope.
His songwriting, inspired by The Beatles, Elvis, and others, showcases this duality of vintage and contemporary. This is particularly evident in “The Call” – a song replete with emotions, from heartbreak to joy. The narrative, of a man yearning for love’s attention, feels universal.
The production of the track, which features harmonious backing vocals, bouncy synths, and a genuine pop essence, adds layers to the song without overshadowing its core – Tom’s well-trained voice.
In “The Call,” Adams delivers not just a song but an experience, a feeling, a memory. It’s a showcasing of his reconditioned brand of pop, which will resonate with a wide range of people from many walks of life.
