American Idol season 10 alum Paul McDonald has dropped the music video for his new song, “Call on Me.” The clip cuts between the singer in the studio and an energetic club performance. The song, a rollicking rock tune with a propulsive beat is from his upcoming solo album, Modern Hearts.
About the song, Paul recently told Billboard magazine:
“It was kind of a missing piece, that moment of ‘I’m back! I’m good again.’ I needed a song with some swagger in it to show I’ve re-found myself. It reminds me when I was lead singer for the Grand Magnolias and touring rock ‘n’ roll clubs and playing Bonnaroo. It took me awhile to get back to that place. Having that last piece bookended the album for me. It was like, ‘Cool, I think it’s ready to put out now.’”
