“Calling My Spirit”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

"Calling My Spirit" is a song recorded by American rapper Kodak Black for his second studio album Dying to Live. It was released on November 30, 2018, via Atlantic Records and WEA, with production by Southside and Jake One.^[1]

Background

The song was released as the fourth single for the album, following preceding singles "If I'm Lyin, I'm Flyin", "Zeze" and "Take One".^[2] HotNewHipHop described the song as Black baring "his soul over emotional guitar licks. He speaks to himself, and battles his own inner turmoil by pinpointing the proper way to move."^[3]^[4]

Composition

Described as being "powered by heavy bass hits and smooth guitar strings", the song is lyrically said to be about Black's troubling past and his appreciation for current successes.^[1] Hip Hop Corner France said that the song is a return of Black to "a style of his own" which is his way of mumble rap singing "that stretches the words, giving him nonchalant air that works so much."^[5] A song representing Black in "a more reflective mood"^[6] and a show of his "spiritual side driven by smooth melodies and punchy drum work",^[7] Rap-Up called the song an introspection of Black who "raps over a stripped-down instrumental".^[8]

Music video

The music video was released in a week after the song's release. Featuring a two-minute clip of Black "looking at the prison system in the United States",^[9] the official music video for the song was released on December 5, 2018. It was noted by XXL Mag for having "a variety of messages". Noted as having "trippy visuals" by HotNewHipHop,^[10] the video shows Black sitting on a throne while being surrounded by women. In another scene, a man is shown having handcuffs placed on his wrists in prison. Later, Black appears as a God-like figure surrounded by white clouds before putting together his hands to pray.^[11]^[12]
