deryk Laments Over What She Should Have Said on "Call You Out,"
The UK born but Auckland based singer deryk has arrived with her debut single. And unfortunately for her, she has launched a career in the midst of a historic global pandemic. The pandemic has caused even the most established artists to adjust their music rollout plans." I can only imagine what it's like for a new artist. But luckily, deryk's seeming unconventionality makes her uniquely suited to thrive in a climate like this one.
"Call You Out" is a sparse journey into the mind of deryk driven by a rolling acoustic guitar and her regretful lyrics. Speaking about the song, deryk says,
"'Call You Out' is about the feeling you get when you've missed an opportunity to say something you felt you should have said or could have been said if you'd been quick enough. 'I fucking wish I'd said that, fuck.' There's a shame and frustration that comes with not standing up for yourself or somebody else when you could have but you just froze, lost for words. You end up brewing for a few days, plotting, questioning whether to call them out, and that exact fury is what inspired the song."
