Establishing the mood with immersive guitar notes and an add lib singing the artist’s name, Wrash Heed opens his new single, Cry, with the vulnerable and introspective lyrics, “How many times you think I lied, stab you in the back with a knife, I see the love in your eyes, na the truth I dey hide, I still dey tell the girls hello, I refuse to stay mellow, cry yourself to sleep at night…”
Cry expands into a Afrobeat meets R&B-Pop hybrid soundscape as Wrash Heed delivers an emotive performance touching upon the themes of the human condition and what it is like dating an artist.
We learn that Cry was recorded in Lagos by Elbuzzi, and speaking on the meaning of Cry, Wrash Heed confesses, “The song depicts what ladies go through when they date entertainers or popular people. We know what they go through, but managing fame is not easy…”
Wrash Heed adds with comedic nuance, “My producer was shocked after voicing the song, he asked if it was my story and if I was heart broken!”
We appreciate Wrash Heed‘s tone, the dimensional elements of the production, along with the unique subject matter and the authenticity that Wrash Heed creates with, taking a vulnerable theme and shining a spotlight on it.
Cry has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Wrash Heed‘s wider discography including She Likes It and Colour.
