Italian-American rocker Lipford is back with his sixteenth self-produced strike, “Just a Cry,” a blast of authentic emotion fused with pure rock energy.
Lipford, formerly known as the guitarist and composer for the alt-rock outfit MantraM, has fully embraced his solo journey since the band’s 2019 split. With “Just a Cry,” he continues to carve out a unique space where pop sensibility meets alternative rock muscle. The track’s power isn’t born from chance; it’s the result of a killer collaboration. The arrangement was handled by Rome’s own alternative metal force, The Rezonaut, and their signature gritty, powerful imprint is all over this thing. They’ve masterfully turned the song into this massive emotional outcry, providing a formidable soundscape that amplifies every ounce of feeling.
So, what’s the track about? “Just a Cry” throws you straight into the chaos we’re all dealing with. You know that raw urge to rip off the masks we wear every day, smash through what’s expected, and just let everything explode out? That’s what Lipford’s tapping into here. This massive wave of feelings—those crushing emotions and the screams you keep locked inside—turned into something that actually helps you breathe again. The song’s not trying to lecture you or hand you some neat little solution. It just rips itself wide open and asks the hard stuff about being vulnerable, loving yourself when you’re falling apart, and the sheer power of just… letting go. It’s basically a love letter to that storm we’ve all got brewing inside, saying hey, sometimes the bravest thing you can do is cry it out.
Lipford is translating life’s gut emotions into this massive, unforgettable riff that’ll be rattling around your head for days. “Just a Cry” hits you with exactly why we need rock and roll: to connect, to actually feel something, and to let it all out.
