ABOUT THE ALBUM
There is something unforgettable about great love songs, and Briana Marela’s Call It Love wraps
its welcoming arms around the subject, invoking all its complexity. Before writing the songs that
would become Call It Love, Briana Marela was guided first and foremost by her instincts as a
producer and engineer. Marela’s original vision for this album was to dig into the two poles of
her songwriting styles: her ambient, ethereal side and her brighter, beat-driven pop leanings. She
enlisted the production help of Juan Pieczanski & Ryan Heyner of the band Small Black upon
hearing their most recent self-produced album.
On this album, Briana Marela has made her proverbial giant leap, deepening her songwriting
and expanding her palette to explore the sounds of love in beautiful, striking new ways. “Give
Me Your Love” explores what Marela calls “love’s immature, silly and selfish side.” “Quit,” the
deep, dramatic centerpiece of Call It Love, was originally penned about a breakup with a
longtime partner and written with the idea that she could give the song away to another artist.
Instead, “Quit” is powerful and revealing in Briana’s own hands. And, if “Be In Love” is the
sound of falling in love, “Farthest Shore” is the sound of looking inward, of reckoning with and
without ourselves. It is an intricate, cavernous song, setting a deceptively pretty melody over
ominous drones and skittering percussion. And here, again, the contradictory becomes
complementary.
