“Cry” by Hybrid Kid is here to pull you into its hazy, hypnotic world before you even realize what’s happening. From the get-go, the shimmering layers of sound wash over you, guitars that glisten and jangle, percussion that shakes and jitters like an anxious heartbeat, and drums that hit hard enough to leave a mark. It’s the perfect blend of grit and dreaminess, like a late-night drive through neon-lit streets with the windows down and the past lingering in the rearview.

Then there’s the voice, Danny Lloyd delivers his lyrics with a cool, effortless nonchalance, but underneath, there’s an intoxicating vulnerability that makes every word feel just a little too real. His vocals float over the track, seamlessly trailing and soaring with an ease and an emotion. And just when you think you’ve got the song figured out, the bridge sweeps in with its ethereal, rising harmonies, adding a wave of soulfulness to the wall of sound, enriched in its glory.

Recorded in a secluded barn in the South Downs, away from the chaos of modern life, “Cry” carries that same sense of isolation, like a song born from quiet reflection but made for loud, cathartic singalongs. It’s a track about picking yourself up, shaking off disappointment, and pushing forward, even when everything around you feels unsteady. And honestly? It nails that feeling. Hybrid Kid has crafted something that sticks with you, the kind of song that lingers long after the final chord fades. So go ahead—turn it up, let it sink in, and get lost in it.
