Watch the official music video for Essy's "Cry For Me" here

May 07, 2021 by Toby Boston in Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Producer and singer/songwriter, Essy, is kicking off her solo career with a proper bang. Her new single, “Cry For Me” features melodic, dreamy synths and jazzy, 80’s themed production. It’s both captivating and unique which mostly speaks to the true potential of the talented musician and what we can expect to hear more of in the coming months.

"This album is about revival. During isolation, I spent nights by my childhood piano reconnecting the dots to my own story and picking up pieces of myself I let fall behind. It was both grounding and terrifying, and induced a six-piece sonic journey that twists and turns through states of awakeness, anger, nostalgia, and sadness. All of these songs are emotional states I experienced that led to me to discover a better version of myself. I am immensely proud of this album. It's a piece of work that has both challenged me and allowed me to grow as a writer and producer." — Essy

Essy co-wrote and produced the album alongside Johnluke Lewis (LANY). Accompanying the new single is a music video for your viewing pleasure. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with Essy online to stay up to date and enjoy!
