Soul Pop Princess Lily Lane has outdone herself once again with her powerfully sentimental single, "Cry Baby". The former Queen of Hearts stresses the importance of taking the time to feel one's emotions freely and deeply, letting each tear fall unapologetically. Combatting the notion that our tears make us weak, Lane makes a strong commentary on human nature and encourages us to fully accept our low points as they come. Vulnerable, raw, and an honest critique of society, Lane forces fans to revel with themselves and take an inward look at what it means to not be ashamed of one's emotions. With a compelling music video to accompany, "Cry Baby" offers fans a beautiful experience and vessel to outpour their own struggles.



Lane's "Cry Baby" is a harmonious composition full of vulnerability and acceptance, serenading us with its catchy melody and lyrical depth. Lane commands our attention with her rich, alto tone, a mature sound that soothes the ear all while leaving us anticipating the next lyric. Her soulfulness is simply infectious, causing us to feel both the beat and her words in our chests. The backing instrumental is simple, yet intense, preparing the listener for the heart-stirring chorus. The drums kick in alongside Lane's chest voice, succeeding in creating an emotionally impactful sound that lingers with us throughout the rest if the song. "Cry Baby" comforts us, uplifts us, and reminds us that there is value in feeling unashamedly. A beautiful reflection of Lane's character, vocal range and agility, and her talent, this track tops our playlist of gripping anthems.


Lily Lane is a true powerhouse, and not just in terms of her voice. Graduating from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, Lane has consistently honed her craft, transforming herself into the iconic idol fans know and love today! Moving from NYC to LA, Lane's career hit the ground and hasn't stopped running, releasing her debut EP "Nothin' But Trouble" followed by her sophomore, "Queen of Hearts," Lane has been supplying fans with plenty of hits, anthems, and memorable melodies in addition to expanding her colorful discography. Uplifting through her music and advocacy, Lane has solidified herself as  creative breath of fresh air through her authentic, relatable, and candid artistry. Lane has been recognized by the House of Blues, Freeform's "Pretty Little Liars," and Netflix, putting herself out there in various forms of media and engagement. Full of integrity, passion, and devotion towards her music, Lily Lane is the name to remember. As always, stay tuned for more updates and releases, and follow the links down below!
