Bywater Call Deliver Heartfelt New Single “Only”
​

​“Only” is a soulful throwback to the great love ballads of the 1960s and ’70s, pairing a slow-burning groove with Meghan Parnell’s unmistakable, smoky vocal delivery. The song captures the fragile moment when love is slipping away a heartfelt plea to stay together while quietly trying to hide the pain of letting go.

Carried by an emotionally rich melody and enhanced by the lush backing vocals of Joanna Mohammed (Aphrose) and Claire Davis, “Only” perfectly conveys the feeling of loving more than you are loved. Rooted in classic soul yet shaped by modern influences such as Adele and Amy Winehouse, the track bridges eras with effortless elegance.
“Only is simple but emotionally powerful,” says guitarist and co-writer Dave Barnes. “It shows a sweet, softer side of Meg’s usually powerhouse vocals.”

Known for crossing genre boundaries, Bywater Call have built a reputation for deeply emotional and electrifying live performances, driven by powerful vocals and a strong musical chemistry between band members.
​
The band’s 2024 album Shepherd was named “Blues Album of the Month” by Classic Rock, who called it “an inventive and uncommonly catchy record,” adding that “the sense of a band on the brink is unmistakable.” The album went on to win “Top Blues Album of the Year” in the magazine’s annual round-up.
