London based chameleon Barny Fletcher shares the official music video for his latest mellow-pop masterpiece ‘Call Me By Your Name’.
Barny finds emotional relief and a renewed sense of belonging through love in ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ a dreamy and ethereal indie-pop single. Weaving together emotional vulnerability and a cinematic sense of storytelling, Barny reflects on being lost but finds a sense of self through connection and introspection. This atmospheric soundtrack is paired with a cinematic music video directed by Jake Riverpark and Jim Knight (Deadpool, Fantastic Four). Reflecting on the precious moments of feeling safe in a relationship, Barny gets candid as he croons: “You release the pleasure darling, I’ll release the pain / Finally feel like I belong / If this is heaven, I believe again”.
No peaches were harmed in the making of this song as Barny’s continues his trend of talkative tracks filled with catchy hooks and limited emotional substance. ‘’Call Me By Your Name’ perfectly spotlights Barny’s rich, distinctive vocals, as his hazy tone glazes over joyful strings that is the perfect dose of serotonin as summer becomes a distant memory.
Speaking about the release, Barny Fletcher says:
“This song is about redemption and finding hope. About someone who brings you back to life when you’ve lost your way! I recorded it at Slim Typical’s studio in Hoxton Square. The spoons you hear on the record were not from Splice. That’s some real spoons you’re hearing. A few minutes before recording one had been used to stir my coffee.”
The track follows on from Fletcher’s previous releases ‘Scotch of St James’. Taking its name from the famous London club with rich music heritage, the single marked the beginning of a new era for Fletcher, showcasing his unrivalled passion for celebrating life’s candid moments through his most mature songwriting to date. Recent release ‘Moments In A Lifetime’ is both a rich and nuanced record, which for Barny, acted as a reminder that dark times are always temporary, harnessed sonically by uplifting and soulful melodies which bring comfort to the track’s central theme of challenges young adults face while trying to hold on to their dreams and beliefs.
A self-confessed “musical chameleon,” Barny says his new music shows “different slices of me, but all in the pop world. It feels like a fresh start.”
Since releasing his debut single back in 2019, Barny Fletcher’s evolution as an artist has been swift. From hip-hop to R&B, underground pop to billowing electronics, the young artist has already been picked by everyone from DJ Shadow to Michaela Coel for his sharp-edged style and undeniable charisma.
Fletcher first debuted in 2019 with singles ‘Christ Flow’ and ‘Blu Skyes’, which set the stage for his hotly tipped debut project CANVAS2033 and its follow-up BOZO. These initial releases gained solid support from BBC Radio 1, which led on to them handpicking Fletcher for a performance slot at their Big Weekend Festival.
Since then, he’s released his JETPACK mixtape as well as his debut album Lonestar in 2023. He has also played sold-out London headline shows, toured the length of the UK in an old Mercedes-Benz covered in artwork from his fans and appeared at festivals such as Lollapalooza Paris, Reading & Leeds, and The Great Escape.
Fletcher’s sound has evolved into a kaleidoscopic mix of pop, R&B, hip-hop and disco. His new music sees him wrestling control of his inventiveness and channelling it in a more streamlined way than ever before. “Big hooks, big songs” is the mantra for his new era, and it is set to be his best yet.
Barny will headline London’s The Grace on November 27th. Tickets are available HERE
