Nothing beats a great song with a message we can all get behind! Today, NYIKO is unpacking his new single “Call The Boys,” which offers a generous dose of nostalgic synth-pop and a necessary call to action.
“Call The Boys” was written in response to the (unfortunately) frequent mass shootings, many having been carried out by young white men. NYIKO explained, “I wanted to take a hard look at the outdated notions of manhood in American society and how they negatively impact everyone. It was important for me to reflect on my own blind spots and to help redefine manliness for young men.”
He continued, “I believe that much of the violence in our country is a manifestation of internal suffering and insecurity in men. Setting an example of masculinity that champions empathy, self-love, and respect could transform the way our society functions.”
What’s next for NYIKO? Very soon, he’ll be dropping his new album Honesty!
