Call Me (Deee-Lite song)

"Call Me" is a song by the American house and dance music group Deee-Lite, released in 1992 as the lead single from their second album, Infinity Within. It is primarily known for its socially conscious lyrics that advocate for tolerance and acceptance across lines of race, gender, and sexuality.

The song features a prominent funk-inspired bassline and upbeat house music rhythms, characteristic of Deee-Lite's sound. Lyrically, "Call Me" departs from some of the band's earlier, more purely party-focused material, explicitly calling for an end to prejudice and discrimination. Lady Miss Kier Kirby's vocals are delivered with a mix of soulful sincerity and playful energy.

"Call Me" was a moderate commercial success, charting in several countries and becoming a popular dance club anthem. While not as ubiquitous as their debut single "Groove Is in the Heart," it solidified Deee-Lite's reputation as a group willing to incorporate socially relevant themes into their music.

The song's themes of inclusivity and equality continue to resonate with listeners, making it a memorable example of socially conscious dance music from the early 1990s.
