Tom Grennan is back with a banger, turning one of society’s oldest stereotypes on its head this time. “Boys Don’t Cry” is the new single from his forthcoming album, “Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be,” which will be released by Aug. 15 via Insanity Records.
Seamlessly woven into a glimmering 80s groove and complemented with lush synth melodies, Grennan serves up an uplifting anthem, reminding everyone that it’s high time we called out the outdated belief that men should suppress their feelings. His signature raspy vocals pierce the production with raw sincerity, transforming vulnerability into a battle cry.
At its heart, “Boys Don’t Cry” is about dismantling emotional barriers. Grennan recognizes the struggle and turns to face it, showing that true strength is being brave enough to speak up. With Justin Tranter handling production, the track is timeless and brand new, with polished pop sensibilities and a message that lands.
This latest offering follows the success of “Higher” and “Shadowboxing” and continues to cement Grennan as one of the UK’s most exciting voices. His ability to write anthems that hit you in the feels but still sound stadium-ready distinguishes him. “Boys Don’t Cry” is an evolution, a conversation starter, and a promise that his forthcoming album could be his most outspoken one yet.
With every release, Grennan demonstrates that he’s not afraid to blur the lines, sonically and thematically. If “Boys Don’t Cry” is a forerunner of what’s on the way, then “Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be” is poised to be a pivotal moment in his career.
