Knock! Knock! It’s your new song to serenade that special someone to: “Call Me Yours” by Mackenzy Mackay! Let me just say, this song proves that Mackay truly knows what love feels like; he finds a way to encapsulate that feeling beautifully through the lyrics and the acoustic beat. Close your eyes and imagine the first person you would sing this to. It brings the feeling of love to life and through your own life experiences. Mackay explains the song is about “Those early on stages of a relationship, feeling out the ways of one another and being completely open and ready for commitment. Attraction not only physically but emotionally - and mentally too. Painting vague images of sharing the same feelings with someone and lightly hinting at the intimacy included.” The song focuses on the physical touch, but also the touch of the heart. It’s beautifully sung with his unique vocals through the storytelling lyrics and catchy melody. If Glee was still running today, I know for a fact Finn would have sung this to Rachel.
I appreciate Mackay for being himself as he uses his life experiences to build his music platform. He has grown up with a traveling lifestyle from living in Scotland to New Zealand. The free spirit shines bright in his music and showcases the type of person he is—full of love and adventure. Mackay can only move up from here. From building a following online to having sold out shows, and one specifically, a New York show being sold out in one hour? That’s stardom written all over it! I can’t wait to see what else he has in store and what more adventures he’s willing to share with his listeners.
