Good Day Noir Family,
The moment The One To Call starts, you’re hooked. A sharp drum hit cuts through the silence, and right away, a mysterious, winding guitar riff takes over, paving the way for something that feels unsettling and intriguing.

The One To Call is John Goldrust’s Single Out Now

 As the piano notes drift in, suspended and haunting, you’re instantly transported into a world where musical boundaries seem to dissolve. It’s clear from the outset that John Goldrus has a vision—one that is atmospheric and deeply thoughtful.

The first thing that grabs your attention is the voice. There’s a subtle intensity to it, drawing you into the melody without ever pushing too hard.

As Goldrust begins to deliver the lyrics, it becomes evident that this isn’t your average pop song. Goldrus’ writing echoes the sophistication of bands like Genesis and Pink Floyd, with lyrics that feel like part of a larger concept, exploring themes that are reflective and unsettling.

The harmonic choices are complex as well, with progressions that seem to shift just when you think you know where the song is going, keeping you on your toes.

The One To Call is hypnotic in the best possible way. The song takes its time, building slowly but steadily, creating a mood that grows in intensity without ever fully resolving.

The tension, carried largely by the guitar, never quite lets go, even as the song’s melody expands into the chorus. There’s an almost dystopian undercurrent running through the track, with the dynamics subtly shifting between moments of calm and bursts of energy, making it hard to look away.

Every note feels deliberate, every change in rhythm or tone seems designed to pull you deeper into the song’s world.

The beauty of the track lies in how it balances instability with emotional depth. The melody blooms in the chorus, but the guitar keeps its presence felt beneath the surface, always maintaining a sense of unease.

It’s that tension between beauty and discomfort that makes The One To Call such a striking piece. Goldrus isn’t afraid to challenge the listener, keeping them engaged with his complex arrangements and layered production.

What stands out most is the feeling that the song isn’t just a collection of musical ideas, but rather a piece of a larger narrative. Like the best concept albums of the ‘70s, there’s an underlying sense that this track is part of a bigger picture.

The One To Call feels like it could easily be a soundtrack to an evocative film—one that you’d want to watch but never quite feel comfortable in.

Visionary!


The song paints a critique of the darker side of romantic love as experienced in the modern era. The question is implied of whether modern dating, with it’s emphasis on fast love and easy hookups, is routinely aborting the embrionic first stages of romantic love on an industrialised scale and seems to question whether love is even possible in the modern age.

While traditional courtship rituals seemed to make the flowering of romantic love almost inevitable and ubiquitous, such time-tested formulas have been turned on their heads in modern times, to a point where real relationships, which cultivate ‘falling in love’, seem almost a rarity. It is like we are living through a mass experiment in which societal norms, which have evolved over hundreds of generations and brought us successfully to this stage, have been overturned in just 2 or 3 generations, which begs the question ‘if society wasn’t broken then, why are we fixing it now?’ – John Goldrust
