Italian-American artist Lipford, whose music mixes pop with roots in alternative rock, reaches another level of creating with “Just a Cry.” This sixteenth entry into Lipford's catalog feels intimate yet universal, vulnerable yet undeniably powerful.

Dom Moore captures ephemeral beauty in "Crowded Beaches"
"Crowded Beaches" by Dom Moore evokes the sensation of watching the horizon dissolve into gold during the final stretch of a hot summer day, a feeling that is suspended, prolonged, and utterly human.

But it's The Rezonaut's gritty alternative-metal arrangements used throughout the song that tip it into the explosive terrain.
Lipford's vocals take center stage, aching, honest, and fearless. It's less of a performance than an outpouring, a prevailing reminder that pain and strength often coexist in the same space. The instrumentation soars the same way through the duality of the song; delicate verses swell into heavy, cathartic choruses that echo like a call across a canyon. "Just a Cry" is an exhalation of being human; it's pop sensibility colliding with rock ferocity. And in this case, Lipford, along with The Rezonaut, hand us a survival anthem with its haunting delivery and razor-sharp production.
