Foster the People’s “Call It What You Want” sounds like summer showing up early and not asking permission. The chorus lands fast, sticky, and exactly right for right now, which is probably why it feels bigger than the week it drops.
Bright synths snap against a rubbery bass line, while the drums keep everything bouncing without getting sloppy. The vocal sits clean in the mix, coated with a little gloss and enough edge to keep the hooks from floating away.
A drive with the windows down, a backyard grill, a cheap pair of sunglasses—this song fits all of it. File it under the kind of pop that makes an ordinary afternoon feel mildly cinematic.
