Laius Releases Brave New Single, “i hope they cried for me”

Chinese-Australian artist Laius has just dropped his latest single “i hope they cried for me,” and it’s probably the most powerful pop release you’ll hear all year. This incredibly personal song sees Laius exploring the raw emotions he still feels after being given up by his parents as a child. His heartbreaking words sit against a cinematic electronic pop soundscape that might just have you dabbing away your own tears by the end.

“Pain bears the fruit of art and this record is the truest, rawest testament to that,” Laius said.

Take a moment to properly listen to “i hope they cried for me.” It’s one of those really special songs that deserves to be more than simply background music for your day.
