There’s a special kind of grief that hits when everything is quiet, a moment when you glance at your phone and realize the person you wish you could call isn’t going to answer. Bathe Alone captures that feeling perfectly in her new single, “Call Me Back,” which will premiere on December 15, 2023.
Bathe Alone is the musical project of Bailey Crone, a talented musician from Atlanta who plays multiple instruments. She has released a series of deeply emotional songs leading up to this moment. “Call Me Back” represents a new step in her journey. It feels more personal and open, like a late-night message meant for someone special but never intended to be heard. Co-written with her long-time collaborator Damon Moon, who also helped produce the track, the song has a dreamy quality. The sound flows like fog over memories, blending rich guitar sounds with soft electronic music, while Crone’s voice resonates like a thought you can’t quite forget. The song even includes real voicemails from different people, adding to the feeling of connection.
It’s this openness and honesty that gives “Call Me Back” its emotional weight. The song doesn’t try to fix the heartbreak or sugarcoat it. Instead, it sits in that space of longing, remembering, and learning to let go all at once.
