The track follows the release of the artist’s excellent 2025 EP Watershed
Armed with a gritty alternative pop sound and thoughtful, hard-hitting messages that are rooted in his lived experience, Drew Thomas is a rising UK artist who’s soaring sound has made for a litany of highlights and memorable moments, with his latest single ‘Boys Aren’t Supposed To Cry’ continuing to highlight the resonating and cathartic appeal of his sound.
The track dissects the more traditional values that men often have instilled in them, encouraged to suppress their feelings and act tough to their detriment, even if it is the last thing in the world that they want to do. The empowering nature of the lyrics and liberating and freeing nature of the sound makes for a gripping listening experience that feels like a generation breaking free from the shackles of these archaic teachings and ideas, looking to help the cause for revolution against small town ideas and narrow mindsets as the artist so often does.
