Arizona-based band Barefoot has released a new single, “Cry Baby,” that explores the idea of letting go of one’s emotions and having an emotional release. The song questions the societal trope that men should not cry and encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerability.
The inspiration behind the song came from the band’s personal experiences, including struggling to find work and feeling overwhelmed. The band’s unique sound, which blends rock, alternative, indie, and pop, is fully displayed in “Cry Baby.”
