‘What’s The Point Of Crying’ is the new single from Swedish-American singer-songwriter Rhys. It’s a beautifully textured piece of indie-folk that brings together a mellow acoustic guitar and layers of delicate harmonies into a tender sonic world. There’s a sense of warmth that spreads from the instruments, directly into her voice and through her personable, optimistic words. On the track’s lyrics, she explains: “Me and my friends talk a lot about first loves and first heartbreaks. The first ones could ruin you for months and months, even years. Nowadays, (it doesn’t necessarily ever feel great when someone decides to end something), you just kind of get used to it - you cry like you’re dying for a day, then you just move on. It’s almost become comical for us. This song is about that feeling of acceptance and just realising that it happens to everyone, and it’s usually not personal and you’ll get over it. Life continues.” Rhys’ new EP, Portland, is out on November 8th, 2024, via The Satchi Six. -Dan Peeke
