“Call It Love” serves as the soundtrack for the short film “At Capacity,” written and directed by Spencer Jamison. The song captures the exhilarating emotions that accompany the start of a new romantic relationship.
Departing from her signature sultry downtempo sound, McCoy embraces an infectious uptempo vibe, reminiscent of timeless love songs from the 90s and early 2000s.
“I wanted to capture the essence of those classic soundtrack love songs,” McCoy explained. “‘Call It Love’ is the song you hear the moment the two leads get their happily ever after.”
Dana McCoy’s music has a way of creating an intimate connection with listeners, making them feel like old friends. Her influences range from legendary artists like Prince, Mariah Carey, TLC, and Jill Scott to contemporary favorites such as Solange, Olivia Dean, Snoh Aalegra, and Chloe x Halle.
Through her music, McCoy crafts messages that celebrate vulnerability and self-love. “I just want music and art to be a landscape where people can find different aspects of themselves and not feel like they have to play a certain role,” she explained.
Supported by notable blogs such as Earmilk, CLOUT, Enfnts Terribles, The Wild Honey Pie, and We Found New Music, McCoy is preparing for several releases in the second half of 2024.
Her previous single, “Night After Night,” was featured on Spotify’s Butter, Fresh Finds, and Fresh Finds: The Wave playlists, amassing over 1 million streams. Her debut EP, To Those Who Wait, released in 2022, established her as a rising star in the music industry.
