Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, artist, and musician Gina Zo has once again turned heads with her newest release, "I Need to Cry", a cathartic queer anthem brimming with vulnerability, pride, and empowerment. After impressing with her edgy debut pop-rock single "Dirty Habits" earlier this year, Gina takes things to the next level, sonically and emotionally, with this bold and emotionally raw follow-up.
"I Need to Cry" is more than just a song, it's a battle cry, a liberation mantra, and a declaration of radical self-love. Through electrifying synth-driven production and soaring pop melodies, Gina Zo creates a sonic space where emotional release is not only accepted but celebrated. The track speaks directly to the LGBTQ+ experience, highlighting the importance of community, self-acceptance, and the courage to be seen. She sings, "I can't deny who I am / I need to cry / Someone please let me / I need to find something that's worthy," showing these themes. The song, co-written alongside Grammy winners Tim Sonnefeld and Justin Miller, features striking and colorful synths that overlay Gina's bold and confident vocals. Delectable beats and driving bassline also add to the song's upbeat allure. The song’s accompanying video further emphasizes themes of liberation and identity, with Gina having fun dancing and trying on new outfits.
Whether you’re blasting it on a solo night drive, crying on the dance floor, or singing at the top of your lungs with your friends, "I Need to Cry" is destined to become the queer catharsis anthem of the summer. Check out the new single now and add it to your favorite playlist!
