Reiyo The Giant Releases New Single 'Can't Call Me'

Bronx-born, Atlanta-based artist Reiyo The Giant has released her latest single, 'Can't Call Me,' via Safari Riot. The track, produced by Anwar Sawyer, known for his work with Audrey Nuna, blends atmospheric electronica, alternative R&B, and soul. It marks a pivotal moment in her upcoming debut album, signaling a shift from themes of martyrdom to quiet confidence and self-acceptance. Reiyo described the song as 'a shift. A choice. A boost of confidence,' adding that she chose to keep her heart rather than let grief destroy it. The single follows other tracks slated for the LP, including 'Get It Together,' 'The Show Must Go On,' 'How To Get Nowhere Fast,' and 'Nu World.' Reiyo, who calls herself a 'ten-foot lesbian genie from the Bronx,' first gained attention with her self-produced 2021 EP, Romeo. Collaborations with producers like Airmow (whose track 'CARMEN' has over 15 million streams) and breathe. ('You Saw Me') have expanded her reach, earning playlist placements on Spotify's New Music Friday and Apple Music's New Music Daily. Her inspirations include writers Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Bruce Nugent, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and creators Michaela Coel and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as well as musicians Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Erykah Badu, and James Blake.
