New music video from Sunset Salore

Hailing from Melbourne, Sunset Salore has been dazzling audiences with her highly original and thoroughly compelling alternative pop sound. Known for her soulful voice, Sunset Salore draws inspiration from artists such as Florence & The Machine, Meg Mac and Baker Boy, resulting in a unique sound that’s struck a chord with listeners across Australia and beyond.

First sharing her sound in 2019 with her debut single “Gold,” Sunset Salore quickly earned a reputation as a rising star in Melbourne’s music scene. Her live performances have seen her further connect wit audiences, combining her sound with magnetic stage presence. Following a period of artistic reflection and renewal, she’s returned to the spotlight with a powerful new project, her EP Love Kills The Monsters, which landed last month.

The EP’s lead single, “Call It,” offers a poignant anthem that speaks to the accumulation of small, defining moments in relationships; those micro-moments that slowly stack up, eventually leading to a breaking point. With “Call It,” Sunset Salore explores themes of empowerment, courage and the strength found in walking away from what no longer serves one’s happiness. Her lyrics cut through with clarity and defiance, serving as a rallying cry for those finding their strength in similar moments of reckoning.

“Call It” serves up a superb alternative pop sound that flows from smooth key tones, rhythmic clicks and Sunset Salore’s soulful voice. As the song builds, the intricate plucks of funky guitar lines, the shuffle of drums and a richly layered chorus converge to create a sound that’s at once moody and danceable, packed full of grooving rhythm and infectious vocal hooks.

Reflecting on the track’s message, Sunset Salore shares, “This song is about addressing all the little micro-moments in a relationship that don’t stack up anymore, and in that moment, deciding to call time on everything. Essentially, it’s saying, I’ve had enough with the status quo—this isn’t good enough, I deserve better. I wanted this track to convey the assertiveness that comes with that acknowledgement, and to feel powerful in that moment.”

The music video for “Call It” brings the song’s emotional impact to life with vivid visuals filmed on the scenic Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. Directed by Adi Ringma and Bec Marshall, the video captures the transformative power of the song’s themes, featuring Madison Sewell and Sunset Salore on screen. Already winning the Special Award at the Europe Music Video Awards for Season 16 this month, it’s an engaging visual offering that enhances the experience of the music in a cinematic way. As Sunset Salore continues to make an impact on her emphatic return to the music world, we can’t want to see what this exciting artist has in store next on her enticing musical adventure.
