Track listing: Waiting for a Call

Jonathan Roy is no stranger. With hundreds of thousands of followers online and tens of millions of Spotify streams, he's established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Indie/Alt music scene. His latest single "Waiting for a Call," from the forthcoming album Symphony of Doubts, builds upon his impressive discography through its passionate performance and an evocative combination of sultry rhythm and alluring melodies.

For those unfamiliar with Roy, think Hozier meets Matt Nathanson meets Teddy Swims--a little bit of each, blended with Roy's own unique blend of RnB, Soul, and Indie/Alternative vibe.

"Waiting for a Call" hits with sharp deliberate drum groove, joined by a Hammond B3 foreshadowing the sweetness to come. His voice screams into the mix with its characteristic growl a la some 60s Blues/Soul anthem. The change-up comes in the pre-chorus with his softened voice pleading its case to the song's subject. Then post-chorus you've got a dirty-as-hell synth dancing around Roy's vocal ad libs, not unlike a Stevie Wonder clavinet tone.

With its relatively recent release, as of today "Waiting for a Call" has already earned a couple hundred thousand streams on Spotify. The accompanying live performance on YouTube has attracted nearly 400,000 views. It's not as if the song or the album needs a lot of help reaching new fans. Roy's team is already doing a solid job of that. But it's refreshing to hear a truly powerful, impassioned voice belt out an authentic and soulful sound in 2024.
