Let’s get one thing straight: Shannon Lauren Callihan doesn’t just sing—she glides. And with her latest single “Got You”, she doesn’t just deliver a track; she offers a full-body, time-bending soul experience wrapped in velvet and laced with truth.


This one’s for the real music lovers—the ones who still get chills from a perfectly placed guitar lick or the kind of vocal phrasing that could stop traffic. “Got You” feels like flipping through dusty vinyl sleeves, only to discover a voice you swear you’ve known your whole life. There’s nostalgia baked into every note, but it’s far from retro cosplay. Shannon isn’t imitating the greats—she is one in the making.


Her voice? Let’s talk about that. Silky smooth, impossibly ethereal, with just the right dose of smoke and ache. She sings like someone who’s lived it all and is kind enough to let us in on the story. There’s an honesty here—brutal in places, beautifully exposed in others—that makes you stop mid-sip of whatever you’re drinking and just listen. The kind of vocal delivery that doesn't ask for your attention—it quietly commands it.


And the song itself? Pure R&B gold. There's a smoothness to it, a groove that hums like a memory you forgot you had. But what makes it shine is Shannon's innate ability to balance vulnerability and swagger—like she’s letting you peek into her diary, but only because she knows you’ll feel seen in the pages.


Of course, that effortless vibe didn’t fall out of the sky. Shannon’s artistry is the result of years in the trenches—touring with the likes of MARINA, Rozzi, and Maggie Rogers, refining her craft, soaking up influence, and shaping her own sound from the inside out. She’s no stranger to the stage, and it shows in every measure. Her guitar playing flows with the same ease as her voice—never showy, always soulful, and dialed-in to the emotion of the moment.



What makes “Got You” so magnetic is its duality—it’s both familiar and fresh, personal and universal. It could play in a smoky lounge in the '70s, or in your earbuds on a rainy Tuesday in 2025. That’s Shannon’s magic: she bends time, blends genres, and somehow makes music that feels like home and discovery all at once.


So go ahead—press play. Let it wash over you. And when it ends, don’t be surprised if you hit repeat... not because it’s catchy (though it is), but because it feels like something you didn’t know you needed.


With “Got You”, Shannon Lauren Callihan reminds us what soul really sounds like.
