Nasty C and Tellaman drop “Call Me,” the first official single from their upcoming joint album “Ts & Cs Apply,” and it’s already one of the most talked-about South African releases this week.
These two have been linked creatively for over a decade, so the idea of a full joint album has been a long time coming. “Call Me” arrives as the first proper preview of what that project sounds like, and it does a good job of setting expectations without giving everything away.
The song deals with vulnerability in relationships, that specific moment when pride gets in the way of saying what you actually feel. Nasty C puts it plainly with the kind of razor-sharp delivery his fans expect, while Tellaman wraps the emotion in his signature soulful melody. Neither one overshadows the other. They just know how the other moves and adjust accordingly.
Fans have already described “Call Me” as nostalgic and deeply relatable, which makes sense because the feeling it captures is universal. Most people have been exactly where this song sits emotionally at some point.
With the full “Ts & Cs Apply” album still ahead, “Call Me” gives listeners just enough to get genuinely excited about what’s coming. Stream it now and pre-save the album while you’re at it.
