Rapsody shares new album “Please Don’t Cry.”
Rapsody continues putting out new music as she finally drops her brand new album “Please Don’t Cry” through Jamla & Roc Nation. This is her fourth studio album, and a follow-up to 2019’s “Eve”.
The new project comes with a pack of 22 songs, including guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Phylicia Rashad, Bee-B, DIXSON, Erykah Badu, Alex Isley, Bibi Bourelly, Keznamdi, Nicole Bus, Niko Brim and more.
“It’s supposed to be ironic, right. It’s Please Don’t Cry, but the real message is please do cry,” she said about the album in new interview with Billboard. “Allow yourself to be human, allow yourself to feel, to sit in your emotions, to grow from it. And think of all the reasons that we do cry. Of course, we cry when we’re sad, but we cry when we’re happy, too, and joyful. And we cry when we’re in love. It’s just about allowing yourself to really be imperfect and embracing the human that you are.”
“After Eve and I did two tours, I had an idea of where I wanted to go next with the album. And then we went into the pandemic. Everybody having to sit with themselves, be alone, the volume of the world turned down and everything internal turned up. You have some healing to do, you have a lot of growing to do and evolving. And going through the process, it started in March of 2020. I started working on three albums at one time. I’m thinking Eve is done, I know which one I want to do next, but then I had this other idea, but then I’m feeling so much emotionally that I need to purge. And I think it was a week once we were in lockdown, I did 10 or 12 songs in two or three days. And I just kept going. And it took me about three-and-a-half, four years, 360 songs. I had a lot to say, I had a lot to get out. But I was relearning myself.”
