It’s been three decades since Morcheeba first graced our ears, and they’re back with a track that feels like a warm embrace. The legendary trip-hop duo has just released their new single, Call For Love, marking their first new music since 2021’s Blackest Blue. This milestone also kicks off their debut on 100% Records, proving they’re not just here to reminisce—they’re here to make waves.
‘Call For Love’: A Return to Classic Morcheeba Sounds
Morcheeba’s Call For Love is the sonic equivalent of a lazy Sunday spent basking in sunlight. Produced by Ross Godfrey, the track layers lush reverb, hypnotic rhythms, and Skye’s unmistakable vocals into a deeply evocative listening experience.
Ross describes the single as “grounding, musically and emotionally,” highlighting the solace music and love can offer in today’s chaotic world. “An apocalypse is always on the horizon, both personal and global,” he reflects. Meanwhile, Skye’s lyrical inspiration came from imagining an overdue apology—and realizing it was something she, too, needed to express.
Three Decades of Trip-Hop Brilliance
Since forming in London in 1995, Morcheeba has become synonymous with genre-defining sounds. Their debut album, Who Can You Trust?, introduced listeners to their unique blend of trip-hop, soul, and electronic vibes.
In 1998, their platinum-selling Big Calm solidified their place as one of the most influential acts in modern music. From producing an album for David Byrne to crafting soundtracks for Steven Soderbergh, Morcheeba’s creative reach knows no bounds.
Even as they celebrate 30 years, the duo shows no signs of slowing down. With over 10 million albums sold worldwide and an extensive touring history, they continue to inspire new generations of music lovers.
