NASHVILLE, Tenn. / LONDON, England (July 24, 2026) International artist, producer, and songwriter CalledOut Music releases his infectious new single, "What A Life," available today on all streaming platforms. The uplifting track is the latest preview of his highly anticipated album, The Room, arriving August 21. Listen to "What A Life" now, watch the accompanying music video, and pre-save The Room here.

Blending his signature Afro-Gospel sound with vibrant R&B and pop influences, "What A Life" is a celebration of gratitude, joy, and the gift of life. Filled with irresistible rhythms and feel-good energy, the song captures the warmth and creativity that define The Room, inviting listeners into the musical space where faith, community, and authentic expression come together.

"I wanted 'What A Life' to be a reminder that even in the middle of life's challenges, there's still so much to celebrate," shares CalledOut Music. "Gratitude changes perspective, and my hope is that this song leaves people smiling, dancing, and remembering just how good God has been."

Releasing alongside the song is a visually striking music video directed by acclaimed creative director Dakota Kingrea. Filmed in a uniquely creative style, the video perfectly complements the song's uplifting message with a vibrant, stylish aesthetic that matches its high energy.

Created after his move to the United States, The Room marks a new artistic chapter for CalledOut Music. Recorded live at Nashville's Gnome Studios, the project was built the old-fashioned way, with musicians gathered together in one room to write, play, and capture each song in real time. The result is a vibrant collection rooted in creativity, authenticity, and human connection. Drawing inspiration from his Nigerian heritage, British upbringing, and life in America, the upcoming album blends Afro-Soul, R&B, pop, gospel, and worship into a sound that is uniquely his own.

With more than 500,000 monthly Spotify listeners, 120,000 YouTube subscribers, 300,000 Instagram followers, and 420,000 TikTok followers, CalledOut Music continues to reach audiences around the world with music that bridges cultures and genres. Following the release of The Room, he will support Pat Barrett on select U.S. tour dates. Follow @CalledOut Music on socials to stay up to date.
