Mali Music – three-time GRAMMY nominated artist, composer, and producer unveiled “Cry,” a soul-stirring new ballad from his soon to be released fifth album, Book of Mali (August 14th).
When talking about the creative process behind “Cry,” one of Book of Mali’s most visceral songs, Mali says, “I am led by the spirit of God, and it was just me on the guitar in the studio and the lyrics were there. When I got to the chorus and the adlibs began to come and the tears began to fall, I could just see the world really forming.”
The song not only showcases Mali’s depth as a vocalist and songwriter, but also his prowess as a guitarist.
[We Are Messengers:]Yeah everybody hurts sometimes I know that’s what they say But right now it seems This loneliness won’t go away Can anybody feel this heartache Is anyone around
Feels like we’re Running ’round in circles We can’t catch a breath We can’t always enjoy the moment When we always want what’s next Just when I can’t take no more It’s when I hear You say
Don’t hang your head When you get lonely No, I’ll never Leave your side And don’t go thinking You’re the only One that can’t get it right Yeah, you got My love Love, love, love Down in your soul Yeah, you got My love Love, love And I won’t let you go
I know there’s nowhere I can run There’s nowhere I can hide From the One who gave His life So I could get back mine So when you can’t take no more Look up and hear Him say
Don’t hang your head When you get lonely No, I’ll never Leave your side And don’t go thinking You’re the only One that can’t get it right Yeah, you got My love Love, love, love Down in your soul Yeah, you got My love Love, love And I won’t let you go
[Mali Music:]When you going that door I’m right there with you When your hurting and sore I’m massaging that tissue I’m resolving that issue I’m regrading I miss you Got My love on level with you Blow the trumpet Come get you Only something that gets too Is the only one that gets you I think this it Be perplexed in the mental We Are Messengers and Mali Music I get lonely dude Sing to me too
[We Are Messengers & Mali Music:]Don’t hang your head When you get lonely No, I’ll never Leave your side And don’t go thinking You’re the only One that can’t get it right Yeah, you got My love Love, love, love Down in your soul Yeah, you got My love Love, love And I won’t let you go
