Paitra’s “Love Calls” / “I’m Your Answer” Is Romance in Retrograde

Paitra’s dual-track release “Love Calls” / “I’m Your Answer” is a seamless, genre-bending trip through the early stages of love, the kind where even a missed call feels like emotional whiplash. It’s dreamy, textured, a little vintage, and honestly? Kind of addictive.

“Love Calls” opens like a late-night thought spiral. It's soft, layered, and full of that hazy stillness you get right before the sun rises. Her voice doesn’t demand your attention; it invites you in, like you're eavesdropping on someone’s private longing. The vocal production leans into lo-fi nostalgia, filtered to sound like it's coming through a cracked landline in 1955. It’s not just a song, it’s a scene.

Then just as you settle into the mist, “I’m Your Answer” bursts in like a skip down memory lane. With its waltz-like 3/4 rhythm, the track sways more than it marches. There's a circus-y charm to it, playful but grounded, like a first date that somehow feels like a forever one. The chorus is warm, catchy, and intimate, with a group vocal that makes you want to sing along even if you’ve never heard it before. It’s romantic without being corny, cinematic without being overdone.

Lyrically, it hits that sweet spot between infatuation and reliability. Paitra doesn’t just want to be someone’s muse; she wants to be their first call, their anchor, their answer. It’s about closeness, yes, but also about being chosen. There’s power in that vulnerability.

What Paitra pulls off here is deceptively hard: blending retro tones with modern pop sensibility, keeping it emotionally raw while still making it a vibe. “Love Calls” / “I’m Your Answer” isn’t just a love song. It’s a little universe where intimacy gets to be weird, timeless, and totally sincere.
