The artist has style and substance in abundance on his latest new single
Both a modern alternative rock standout and cello virtuoso in his own right, Calum Ingram is an artist that is a truly unique prospect in contemporary music, boasting a range and distinctive appeal that feels entirely his own.
The latest single from the artist is the anthemic ‘The Man’, a braggadocious and endlessly creative satirical nod to the classic rock n’ roll trope from the 60s and 70s referring to who’s really in charge. Such a gimmicky and bold creative choice could easily swallow up a lesser artist, but the artist’s distinctive flair and the dynamism of his sound make for compelling and exciting listening, his impassioned vocals dominating a track that is packed full of creativity and charm throughout. From its bluesy cello riffs, to its driving rhythms, to its deceptively deep lyrics about power imbalance and oppression, ‘The Man’ is an empowering and soaring new single that epitomises what makes Calum feel so exciting and special.
Calum explains “it’s about the idea of someone towering over you, showing you that they are the only ones worthy of power. It’s also about the stranglehold that men have had over women through the generations. I feel very passionately about women’s rights, so this is a reminder to people that are stuck in the past to wake the hell up!”
