TOM GRENNAN has shared new single ‘Boys Don't Cry’, the third track to be unveiled from his upcoming album, ‘Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be’, which is released on August 1st via Insanity Records. A stirring pop anthem with a swaggering 80s groove and warm synth melodies swirling around Tom’s rousing vocal delivery, ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ is another gem from an artist who possesses a gift for wrapping serious messages in euphoric singalong hooks, its lyric tackling mental health and men opening up about their feelings.
“I'm an emotional person,” Tom says. “In a lot of towns, especially where I come from, there's still this stigma around emotion. Men are told they need to be about football, beer, and zero emotions. Boys Don't Cry is the tonic to the negative “man up” usage, a term used by us lads who find it hard to deal with other vulnerability and infact our own. It’s the song that helped me go, ‘do you know what? I'm comfortable with being able to cry and process emotions, I call my mum or my missus and some friends who have also struggled but since passed the barrier . It’s a difficult situation being a lad around people when they get emotional, or being emotional yourself and talking about it. So let’s have that conversation.”
