Fiona Grey's single "Call Me Daisy" is a bold reclamation of identity
In her latest single, “Call Me Daisy,” Fiona Grey gives us a glimpse into a world of empowerment, joy, and reinvention, all wrapped in artsy power-pop perfection. After experiencing a traumatic sexual assault, Grey found solace and freedom in the safe spaces of queer clubs, and this track beautifully channels that transformative journey. "Call Me Daisy" introduces us to Daisy, her alter ego—a persona born out of the need to reclaim autonomy, joy, and identity.
Musically, the single delivers on all fronts. Grey’s ethereal yet powerful vocals glide effortlessly over an atmospheric production, making the song an instant earworm. The beats are infectious, laced with pop hooks that evoke both vulnerability and defiance. Grey strikes a perfect balance between introspective lyricism and anthemic empowerment, using the dance floor as a metaphor for freedom, anonymity, and reconnection. There’s also a looming rhythm guitar that while understated, gives the song such an intensely fun depth and complexity in the mix.
With lyrics that capture the freedom of losing yourself in the music and finding power as a “stranger within,” Grey crafts a narrative that feels deeply personal yet universally resonant. Her ability to transform life’s hardships into pop bangers is a hallmark of her artistry, and it shines brightly here.
"Call Me Daisy" is a prelude to Grey’s upcoming album, Adult Tantrums, set for release in March 2025, and if this track is any indication, we’re in for a fierce, unapologetic collection of anthems. Having toured alongside Charli XCX and Foals, and collaborated with KITTEN, Fiona Grey is clearly a rising star, and this single cements her place as a standout in today’s pop landscape. It’s not just about the music—this track is a bold statement on the importance of protecting queer spaces, and the joy and freedom that come with them.
From the immediate get go, truly the track proclaims so much and delivers more than you could ever want. Her vocals are the star of the show, yet the more you listen intently, you unwrap a story that’s beyond relatable for so many out there.
