Pandemic Records Shares New Track by Turbulence, “Call Me”

Sheldon Campbell, professionally known as Turbulence, is celebrated for his insightful lyrics and dynamic performances, incorporating elements of soul and R&B into his style. He is particularly recognized for his remarkable vocal range and exceptional songwriting skills, both of which are prominently showcased in his latest single, “Call Me.”

Released earlier today, March 20, “Call Me” is an upbeat reggae track characterized by its vibrant and somewhat sensual lovers-rock theme, centering on Turbulence‘s endeavor to persuade his romantic interest to reach out to him. What is particularly noteworthy about this record is its ability to differentiate itself from other songs that explore the theme of men pursuing women. Despite addressing topics of a sexual nature, Turbulence manages to maintain an air of sophistication and elegance throughout.

Furthermore, the rhythm for “Call Me” is exceptionally captivating. While it is rooted in reggae, it seamlessly incorporates elements of Caribbean pop, creating a unique and engaging auditory experience. “Call Me” is now available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and all major streaming platforms, and it comes to us courtesy of Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC.
