The latest single from Hybrid Kid, titled “Cry”, transcends traditional music boundaries to become an all-encompassing experience. An acoustic guitar delivers crisp fingerpicking alongside a deep walking bass which draws the listeners in immediately. The melody moves naturally through the song and becomes one of those tunes that continue to replay in your mind after it finishes. The recording session took place in a South Downs National Park barn which allowed the music to express both calmness and determination while delivering a theme about perseverance and moving forward. The laid-back musical feel enhances the song’s motif which allows for personal emotional connection.
Danny Lloyd stands as a singular powerhouse within Brighton’s musical landscape behind his project Hybrid Kid. His raw garage rock style makes way for a new direction in “Cry” which moves away from his characteristic aggressive riffs toward a more minimalistic organic sound. People who enjoy Badly Drawn Boy or Sparklehorse will find great enjoyment in the rich textures and emotional delivery. His previous albums and EPs demonstrate his ability to adapt and grow while his new single once again reflects his signature sound.
The main theme of “Cry” centers on resilience as it depicts someone who refuses to remain defeated after being knocked down. The song combines soothing melodies with catchy rhythms which makes it perfect for repeated listening whether you seek motivation or simply want to relax. The track was officially released on March 21, 2025 and is one you definitely should not miss.
