A dark-tinted alternative R&B tune that’s ready to stir up emotions. 

Guatemala-raised artist, songwriter, and producer Callmegulliver continues to showcase why he’s one of the most intriguing genre-blenders rising today. Known for fusing hip-hop, electronic, Latin influences, and pop into a sound uniquely his own, he originally stepped onto the scene in 2018 with his debut single “Free,” a track that quickly became a fan favorite and set the tone for his eclectic approach.

His latest release, the alternative R&B single “The Reckoning,” dives even deeper into the emotional side of his artistry. On Instagram, Callmegulliver called the track “a late-night reflection on love, regret, escapism, and the honesty of heartbreak.” He went on to say that creating the song felt like giving himself a gift—one sparked the instant he made the beat and knew it needed to become something more. Now, it arrives as the third single from his upcoming album.

“The Reckoning” opens with soft guitar melodies and gentle sonic textures that build a haunting, intimate atmosphere. The lyrics carry the weight of emotional fallout, regret, and the complexity of loving someone you’ve hurt. Lines like “We’re still feeling jaded / You love me and you hate it” and “I broke it bad, now you’re armor-plated” cut with honesty and vulnerability, capturing the lingering ache of mistakes you can’t undo.

With its fusion of alternative R&B, melodic rap, and pop—along with a nostalgic, dark-tinted mood—Callmegulliver delivers one of his most stirring tracks yet. “The Reckoning” is built to make listeners feel something, so don’t just listen—experience it.
