I need you more than air Before I close my eyes All I do is cry about you Wish I could forget ya, like I never met ya All I do is cry about you Before I close my eyes All I do is cry about you Wish I could forget ya, like I never met ya All I do is cry about you Kim Petras veers into moody trap-pop with her new song "All I Do Is Cry." Kim Petras veers into moody trap-pop with her new song “All I Do Is Cry.” The singer-songwriter vents about heartbreak throughout the track, which — in contrast to her other, more club-friendly singles — recalls the emo-rap vibe of Juice WRLD. “I need you more than air/I see you everywhere,” Petras sings on the cut over a booming beat and tranquil guitar pattern. “Nobody else compares/I don’t go anywhere.” On the chorus, she admits, “All I do is cry about you/I don’t wanna die without you.” The vocalist paired “All I Do Is Cry” with an appropriately stormy lyric video featuring raindrops, staccato lightning strikes and soft VHS fuzz. On June 11th, Petras will kick off the first leg of a North American tour with a show in Nashville. The trek, her first headlining run, will also include stops in other major cities, including an appearance at New York City’s WorldPride event on June 29th. (Petras will also play Manchester Pride during her European leg.) The singer, who recently opened for Troye Sivan and performed onstage with Rita Ora, headlined Sydney Mardi Gras in Australia earlier this year. “All I Do Is Cry” follows a run of singles, including the disco-inspired “Sweet Spot,” “Broken,” “Blow It All” and “Got My Number.” Petras was recently nominated for GLAAD’s Outstanding Music Artist award. "All I Do Is Cry" is a song by German singer Kim Petras from her debut album Clarity (2019). First released as the fifth promotional single from the album on 23 May 2019 by BunHead Records, it was re-released two years later on streaming services with a changed date of 2021 under Amigo and Republic Records.[2] Petras released this song among others from the same album in preparation for her North American tour. Reception[edit]Rolling Stone commented on how the track differed from her previous singles: "Kim Petras veers into moody trap-pop with her new song “All I Do Is Cry.” The singer-songwriter vents about heartbreak throughout the track, which — in contrast to her other, more club-friendly singles — recalls the emo-rap vibe of Juice WRLD".[1] Reviewing it for Interview Magazine, Ernest Macias suggested the song "takes her music to a sad, almost emo direction, laced with trap beats and lyrics bemoaning a broken heart."[3] For Nick Levine in NME, the song "shows her vulnerable side."[4] Writing for The Guardian, Aimee Cliff described the song as "deliciously tragic",[5] while Stephen Daw of Billboard called it "heartbreaking-and-catchy."[6] |
