Call Me - St. Paul and The Broken Bones - MP3 instrumental karaoke

St. Paul & The Broken Bones made serious noise with “Call Me,” a breakout single from their 2014 debut album Half the City. Written by lead vocalist Paul Janeway and guitarist Jesse Phillips, the song blends raw emotion with tight Southern soul grooves. “Call Me” reached number 6 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart and helped define the band’s retro-meets-modern sound. Lyrically, it captures a moment of unexpected heartbreak and emotional confusion, delivered through Janeway’s soaring, gospel-infused vocals. The track was produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes and recorded live to tape for that gritty, old-school vibe. Horn stabs, gritty guitar licks, and a relentless rhythm section channel the energy of Muscle Shoals classics while keeping things fresh. Critics praised “Call Me” as one of the best soul tracks of the 2010s, and it played a big role in putting St. Paul & The Broken Bones on the map.
