With Call Me Names, Glass Museum introduces a vocal for the very first time in one of their tracks, bringing a soulful warmth to this introspective ballad, carried by a slow groove, airy synths, and restrained rhythmic tension.
The song delves into themes of breakup, regret, and reconciliation — an inner dialogue haunted by the past and longing for repair. It explores the void left by another, the difficulty of confronting one’s own mistakes, and the desire to turn back time: “Can we go back where it all started? / Like it never really happened?”
Set against this delicate backdrop, Call Me Names addresses human fragility with humility: “You can call me names / You can call me whenever.”
The single comes with a lyric video directed by Super Tchip, capturing in timelapse the creation of a monumental Call Me Names graffiti mural, painted in Anderlecht (Brussels) by visual artists Manon Brûlé and Nora Juncker. Still visible today, the piece acts as an urban imprint of the track — an open-air memory that sits at the crossroads of music and street art.
With Call Me Names, Glass Museum weaves new connections between music, voice, and image, laying another brick in a city where every emotion leaves a mark.
New single 'Call Me Names' is out now on all streaming platforms.
