Not too long after sharing a video trailer for “Song Cry,” August Alsina releases the full version of the song. The New Orleans native shows his vulnerable side on the Brandon “Bam” Hodges produced track as he sings about dark moments in his life.
“I can’t hold back these, let me cry / They say a man ain’t supposed to cry / So I’ma let this song cry / I’ma let my soul cry through these words,” Alsina sings.
“Song Cry” will appear on Alsina’s sophomore album, This Thing Called Life, due out later this year.
