“Call On Me”: Regard Revives Iconic Sample In New Dance Anthem

Regard has released "Call On Me," a pulsing reincarnation of the vocal sample from Eric Prydz's seminal hit of the same name, only reimagined for a new era of dancefloors.

The "Ride It" producer, who has seven #1 US Dance Radio hits and over five billion streams to his name, lands on Thrive with his latest anthem. His nuanced production shines through an infectious house arrangement that gleams with both chart-topping potential and maximalist energy.

Breathing new life into a classic while carving its own identity, "Call On Me" speaks to the beautifully cyclical nature of dance music. Regard was only 11 when Prydz dropped his iconic track in 2004.

"The release day is just one day, but the record is forever," Regard said on Instagram.

Going back even further, the song's iconic hook is rooted in the 1982 release of Steve Winwood's "Valerie." Co-written by Songwriter's Hall of Fame member Will Jennings, that track is about the story of American singer Valerie Carter, who sung backup for legends like James Taylor and Jackson Browne before launching a fascinating solo career. Beloved for her sultry voice, Carter sadly battled substance abuse issues before dying of a heart attack in 2017 at the age of 64.
