'Can I Call You That' by Siloon
Berlin-based musician Siloon has made her musical introduction with ‘Can I Call You That’, an alternative pop-rock track about loss and heartbreak.

With earworm vocals, plucky guitars and synthy sonics meeting in delightfully off-beat harmony, Siloon’s debut single is full of talent and promise.
