The L.I.F.E. Project‘s latest cover to be shared has arrived in the form of Blondie‘s 1980 hit “Call Me“. Josh Rand (Stone Sour) and Casandra Carson (Paralandra, Casandra’s Crossing) make up the roster of The L.I.F.E. Project, who just this past June tackled a Suicidal Tendencies classic.
Addressing this latest rendition, Rand went on to state that the cover dates back to the earliest origins of the duo:
“Back in 2020, I was searching for a female vocalist to front my new project. I was connected with Casandra Carson and asked her what song she’d like to sing for the audition. ‘Call Me‘ was her choice, so I quickly put it together musically for her to sing to. She crushed it, and the rest is history! We never intended to release this track, but we thought it would be cool for you to hear the song that started it all.”
Carson added:
“‘Call Me‘ has been one of those staple songs that I’ve been doing live since my first cover band when I was 17. This recording, specifically, was kind of my audition to be in The L.I.F.E. Project. Josh wanted me to pick a song to cover that would be comfortable, and we could use to test out how we would work together, and this felt like the perfect choice. Turns out, I got the job! It’s crazy that it’s coming out of the vault and going public after all these years.”
