Rising alternative pop artist Caleigh Barker taps into the Halloween spirit with the release of her new single "Don't Get Scared of Me", a sultry piece that blends modern pop with dark and edgy aesthetics. Bolstered by the crisp and punchy drum groove, lush textures and booming bassline, Caleigh plays the role of a seductive woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to voice her true feelings. Armed with her commanding vocals and earworm melodic runs, she takes us deep into her fantasy world with lines like "Don't get scared of Me, I know it's after 3 but the nighttime is for freaks" as she assuage all fears with her enthralling tone.
The song is also accompanied by a dark cinematic visual directed by Maccadelic, with engaging choreography by Tatiana Parker and it showcases Caleigh's radiant energy as a thorough performer. The Halloween-inspired clip is also a nod to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and employs the Zombie theme to some degree. We see Caleigh as the seductive figure, a siren of some sort whose mesmerizing vocals keep listeners and viewers in a trance-like state. Set in the iconic Guild Park and Gardens in Toronto, the backdrop has a haunting feel and a dark ambiance amplified by the frenzied movements of the dancers and the overall ominous tone and moody set pieces that tie everything together.
