Emerging artist Kid Souf has just dropped a new single, “The One That Makes Me Cry”, that is sure to resonate with a wide audience. This poignant track explores the struggles of feeling taken for granted in various aspects of life, whether in relationships, friendships, or even professional circles. This track acts as the follow-up to his previous single “Waterproof Mascara”.
Kid Souf’s heartfelt reflection on these experiences is both emotionally charged and upbeat, wrapping nostalgic indie-rock with addicting electro-pop. It’s released around the perfect time as the haunting melody will make this perfect for Halloween party playlists.
Rhythmic to start off with bringing retro gaming sound elements, Kid Souf impresses vocally flowing through a variety of notes, touching on his falsetto before coming back down. These hypnotic vocals capture the audience straight away allowing Kid Souf to take us on a journey with him.
He later flips the script, stripping away the retro vibes as he hits the chorus with a haunting, electro baritone full of deep bass and low-toned vocals that totally hits differently. The contrast is beyond awesome, showcasing his versatility and delivering one infectious track that we can’t get enough of. Add that on top of the highly relatable lyrics about falling for the wrong people that always leads to toxicity, “The One That Makes Me Cry” is our new favourite haunting dance tune.
Regarding the new single, Kid Souf shared, “This track perfectly summed up a lot of my relationships. I don’t know why, but I always find myself falling for people that take me for granted. Maybe it’s because of my constant drive to chase after goals, but it’s obviously not super healthy, and it’s something I’m working on.”
As a queer artist, hailing from Philadelphia, Kid Souf has faced his share of challenges, using music as a medium to share his personal journey. Raised in a religious cult, he secretly listened to a radio that introduced him to iconic artists such as Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. This love for music eventually led him to write for artists like Tiësto and Selena Gomez.
