"Kali Uchis is making a bold statement with her latest release, "Cry About It!", and it's one that feels equal parts empowering and playful. The Virginia-born singer-songwriter has always used her music to merge vulnerability with defiance, and this latest single is no exception. Featuring breakout R&B star Ravyn Lenae, the track channels a mix of doo-wop nostalgia and modern R&B smoothness to deliver a message aimed squarely at critics and naysayers: if you don't like how she's living, go cry about it."
"The inspiration behind "Cry About It!" is just as spirited as the song itself. Taking to Instagram to share her thoughts, Kali explained that she wrote the track as a personal celebration of growth and abundance. "I wrote this song to celebrate the fact that I'm gonna keep getting better/hotter/more abundant etc... Nobody can stop me MUAHAHAHAH," she wrote, capturing the same mischievous energy that runs through the song."
