Life is one long call-and-response song. We are always calling for and are always being called by something. On social media these days "calling out" has become a recurring phrase. In the best case, to call out something is to call for justice. The primary task of earning a living is responding to the call of survival. How many times have we ascribed the genius of a singer or a painter to that call of destiny? How many times have we looked at how well they excel at their craft and, short of words, say, this thing is their calling? We all have that calling. Something is always calling us. Some will answer. But some will not. The same applies to the things we call. From Rokia Traoré calling out the world migration crisis to Simphiwe Dana being called by an unnamed entity, songs in this playlist all seem to be calling for or are being called by something. Do listen.
