Violet Skies - Cry For Me

Having spent the last few years writing for some of the biggest names in pop music as well as co-founding sheWrites, a global series of female-only writing camps, Welsh singer/songwriter Violet Skies has today released her new single called "Cry For Me."

Growing up in a village in Wales, UK, Violet Skies is a self-confessed nerd, perfectionist and has known since the age of 4 that music was her future. Adopting her grandmother's name, Violet Skies writes what she describes as "pop with teeth" and co-produces all her own music; a combination of searingly emotional vocals, uncomfortably honest lyrics and infectious melodies. The resulting output walks a fine line between making you cry about an ex you thought you were over and laughing about the one you're glad got away.

If it's not already clear, Violet Skies is not content with the definitions of what it is to be a female singer-songwriter. She's somewhere between Adele and Robyn; a product of her parents' eclectic musical tastes and a 90's childhood. "Cry for Me" is the embodiment of it all. Opening with the line, "I don’t want to f*ck you up, ok a little bit yeah, I'll admit, but not too much", she intends on making you feel something and, ever the perfectionist, Violet Skies won't stop until you do.

Speaking on the track, Violet Skies says:

"This is the first happy song I'd written post-break up with my ex and I was clearly still sad and confused but had started to see the funny side of things. Also, I just really want more boys to feel comfortable crying, it's good for the soul. Or maybe my ex just wasn't sad enough?"
