After wowing us with their previous single ‘Viper’s Venom‘, Call To The Void return joining with My Ruin vocalist Tairrie B for a duet cover of the Edwyn Collins classic ‘A Girl Like You’. The track represents a coming together of two friends and a reflection on their history & connection through the years.
What began with a single encounter at a concert in 2003 has now come full circle as they become true musical allies in the studio. Recorded, Mixed & Mastered by Brian Bogdanovic at Bonafide Studio London, the haunting video was edited by frontman Jack Osbourne and shot at Asylum Chapel.
Jack elaborates,
“I think the ‘Girl’ in the song was always Tairrie, we just didn’t know it until we recorded it together. We’ve both shared a love for this song through the years and whilst it’s clear Edwyn is singing about a love interest, for us, it’s not a romantic story but it is certainly a love story, with love and respect for each other and each other’s art. We wanted to create a sort of cross over of genres with the cover. Tairrie has so many vocal abilities, from rap to rock to spoken word and I think we cover a lot of ground vocally in this song.”
Call To The Void bring their already well honed sound along with the sultry vocals of Tarrie B to deliver a glitzy gothic twist to this well loved Edwyn Collins fuzzed up rock banger. Mrs B drops in some of her magic, adds a throat full of vocals and the whole tracks ends on a massive rock ‘n’ roll high.

In 2003, a young Jack Osborne first encountered Tairrie B when attending a My Ruin show at Highbury Garage in London. The connection was immediate and infinite with an unspoken understanding that transcended the usual fan-artist dynamic.
Over the next two decades, their friendship grew, deepening into a strong bond and mutual admiration for each other which echoes in the cryptic language of this evocative timeless love song. After attending many shows over the years, Jack was invited to join My Ruin on tour.
First as a friend, then as a merch man and part of the crew becoming an integral part of their journey and eventually singing on stage with Tairrie in cities across the UK, Paris and at the iconic Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, Ca.
As Jack honed his craft, Tairrie became a musical mentor & champion. Encouraging Jack to start his own band. With an ocean between them, they sustained a loyal & solid relationship which has stood the test of time.
