Release Date: 7th October 2022
Call Me Crazy is reimagined with the addition of Pillow Queens. The two bands team up to create lilting pop magic. The soulful remake elevates the songs sensitivity, creates space for collaboration and celebrates the individuality of both bands, resulting in an expression of communal joy.
" It’s a happy sad ballad about mental health that will pull at your heartstrings and get you dancing all at the same time. It feels like the perfect song to team up with Pillow Queens on, they’re great friends of ours and when you’re struggling with mental health friends make everything better. Their voices and instrumentation on the track adds a new dimension to the song, helping it to evolve into a really special moment of shared experiences. "
