Spellbinding vocals and shimmering guitars make Xifiar’s debut feel timeless, magnetic, and unforgettable.
Xifiar has emerged with the kind of sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly distinct. His voice, silky yet resonant, carries the calm confidence of an artist who’s found his emotional core and knows exactly how to translate it. From the moment his latest release arrives, there’s a sense of control and clarity. Xifiar isn’t just delivering a song; he’s setting a tone. Surrounding him is a team of gifted collaborators who elevate his artistry, crafting a track that’s both intimate and expansive, deeply felt yet effortlessly listenable.
“I Call Her Love” opens with a smooth, magnetic rhythm that immediately draws you in. Xifiar's vocals emerge gently, soft and full of breath, creating a mood that’s both soothing and spellbinding. That gentleness doesn’t linger for long, though. He soon ascends into a soaring delivery that wraps the listener in a melodic trance. There’s a hypnotic beauty to his phrasing, as though each note is guided by intuition rather than force.
Behind him, the instrumental arrangement lays down an impeccably balanced foundation: tender drum patterns play against airy textures, while subtle, teasing fills provide elegant punctuation. Guitarist Luka Čapeta brings a crystalline, chiming presence to the track. His work glistens, shimmering with tone and control, giving the piece an atmospheric richness that stuns without ever overpowering. Additionally, he layers in silky expressions that wrap around the vocals like sunlight filtering through trees.
At the heart of the rhythm section is bassist Mario Torbica, whose pulse provides a steady, grounding anchor that ties every melodic flourish together. His tone feels measured yet alive, as if he’s not just playing the bass but speaking through it. On keys and piano, Nikola Šantek adds a glittering dimension to the track. His twinkling accents and velvety chords give the song a glowing warmth, particularly in its most emotionally charged moments.
Guiding it all with subtle precision is drummer Fran Krsto Šercar, whose touch is light yet undeniably present. His interplay with the piano and guitars toward the climax feels like a quiet storm unfolding in real time.
One of the song’s most defining lyrical moments arrives in the refrain:
“I’m reaching out calling by her name / I call her love”
This line doesn’t just serve as a title. It encapsulates the track’s emotional thesis. It’s not merely a declaration; it’s an offering. In naming her “love,” he isn’t just expressing affection. He’s assigning her the entire meaning of the word. It’s poetry in motion, captured in a single line.
As the song builds toward its apex, Čapeta delivers a guitar solo that’s utterly entrancing. Every bend, every phrase, every slide is brimming with intention. It doesn’t overreach. Instead, it gently demands attention, carving out a space for contemplation. When Šercar’s drums re-enter beneath the solo, there’s a quiet thunder to the way it all returns to Xifiar. His final vocal passage lifts the entire song to another level. His belts take flight, weightless and effortless, as if the emotion is too powerful to stay grounded.
“I call her love / she calls me love”
That final refrain lands like a whisper carried by the wind. It is familiar, yet transcendent. It’s delivered with such grace that the closing moments feel like waves folding back into the ocean. Šantek’s delicate piano notes linger like afterthoughts of a dream, and Xifiar lets the song fade with a soft confidence that stays with you long after it ends. It’s a closing that doesn’t just complete the track. It elevates it.
With “I Call Her Love,” Xifiar has given us a stunning entry point into his artistry. There’s a rare musical chemistry at play here, between voice and instrument, artist and emotion. Every part feels hand-placed and intention-filled. The result is a deeply evocative debut that leaves a lasting impression.
