A taste of the 'new' Signum A.D. sound led Grammy winning producer Malcolm Springer to the decision he ‘had to have’ the band. They are slated to hit the studio in mid May, with an expected release, late summer of 2012. When shown Sammy’s voice, Rick Schmidt, the Vice-President of Signum A.D.’s ex-label said, “...it’s not hype. The guy can sing with emotion and has the pipes. One listen and you’ll say, ‘WOW! That dude can sing!’” The "New" Signum A.D. is almost genetic in its creation. 5 diverse members. 5 creative music angles. 5 solid performers. The swelling mystique and industry buzz is boiling, and about to come into being. The bands new EP "Veto the Vultures : Vol. 1" will be released on 8.21.12. Produced and mixed by Malcolm Springer (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Full Devil Jacket), Co-Produced by Elliott Ecton (Signum A.D.), and Mastered by Brad Blackwood (Saving Abel, Adelitas Way, Sick Puppies).

No es mi culpa que otra me este llamando
Ni siquiera es mi intención hacerlo
Perdóname si es que estoy ocupado
No es mi culpa si me llama llama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
Hola dama
Ya no hay más drama
Perdóname si no te atiendo mañana
Pasa que estoy puesto solo pa' la fama
Viviendo mi vida, like Tony Montana
Todos me ven diferente
Dicen que confiaron siempre
No lo hago por moda o por Plata
Es pa' que disfrute la gente
Sé que todo ahora es mío
Por esto yo me he jodido
Y si vos no estás dedicido
Pues sáquese de el camino
En la mente solo tengo Money
Y en el phone a esa shorty
To' el día ta' tirando mensajes
Y yo rompiendo los parlantes
Tu tiempo hace ya ha pasado
Así que mejor mami olvídalo
Nos vemos una última vez y después voy a tocar a otro lado
No es mi culpa si me llama llama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
No es mi culpa si me llama llama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
No me importa si es white o black
Te las voy atajando como Oblak
Ganaría, la partida hasta con lag
Es algo que no puedo evitar ma
Normalmente no soy un hearthbreaker
Pero debo serlo aunque cueste
Para cualquier otra que se presente
Pues me quedo contigo para siempre
Mmm
Call me call me
Mmm
Stay and show me
Mmm
That you are not boring
Para irnos volando
En un pony
No es mi culpa si me llama llama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
No es mi culpa si me llama llama
Y tu dices que me amas amas
Pues encendamos la flama
Cuando me lo permita la fama
The lyrics to Signum A.D.'s "The Calling" describe a situation where the singer is apologizing to someone they may have rejected or ignored in the past because they are focused on chasing success and fame. The singer expresses that they are not intentionally trying to hurt the other person, but circumstances involving the music industry and fame make it difficult for them to prioritize relationships. The use of the word "llama" is a play on words, using the Spanish word for flame but also referencing individuals who are trying to reach out to the singer, aka "calling" them.
The lyrics also express a desire for the other person to understand that the singer is not choosing this kind of life for superficial reasons – they acknowledge the sacrifices they have made and the criticism they have faced for being in the music industry. The lines "Todos me ven diferente / Dicen que confiaron siempre" suggest that people see the singer as changed, but the singer also acknowledges that they have "jodido" themselves (hurt themselves) in the process. Ultimately, the singer hopes to settle down with someone special, but for now, they must focus on their music, even if it means sacrificing personal relationships.
Overall, "The Calling" touches on the complex relationship between fame and personal relationships, and the struggle to balance both in life. It acknowledges the sacrifice and criticism that fame can bring, but also imparts the hope that relationships and personal connections can still exist even in the midst of chasing success.
