Some songs don’t chase your attention, instead they quietly offer it back to you. With his debut single 'I Call Her Love', Vienna's Xifiar steps into the light with the kind of quiet grace that lingers within its beauty.

Crafted with gentle precision, the song unfolds like a slow exhale. Luka Čabo’s production evokes the faded glow of analogue warmth, balancing delicate guitar strokes and soft-focus keys in a way that feels both intimate and expansive.

Xifiar’s voice drifts like a memory you half-remember. There’s no attempt to define the emotion at the core of the song. Instead, it floats just out of reach, allowing listeners to bring their own meaning to the moment. And in doing so, 'I Call Her Love' captures emotional presence without overstatement.

Lyrically, there’s a simplicity that masks depth, a gentle surrender to experience rather than an analysis of it. It’s a love song that resists cliché by refusing to explain itself. You don’t need a backstory to feel it. It’s all there in the tone and the feeling that something fleeting just brushed past you.

Whether soundtracking a solitary drive or the slow start of a Sunday morning, 'I Call Her Love' is the kind of track that makes everything feel just a little more in focus.

With this first release, Xifiar positions himself as a purveyor of hushed clarity, a songwriter more interested in resonance than volume. In a world constantly reaching for the next peak, 'I Call Her Love' reminds us of the beauty found in simply being still.
