Song of the Week- Music to Make Boys Cry by Diana Vickers

Fans of the 2008 X Factor contestant will already like me have heard this song a long time ago, as the track actually first surfaced online back in December 2011 in the form of a demo. Yet as the singer gears up to release her new album of the same name, I wanted to highlight the awesomeness of this track, as I have found myself falling in love with the track all over again. As well as this, the track is also mastered a little differently for its actual release and is even better than the original. The track itself is a lovely and sophisticated slice of indie pop and synth pop that was reportedly inspired by Vickers seeing the songs title in a newspaper article and being inspired to write from this. The track is lyrically very sweet with a catchy chorus and a message that is all about being empowered and just loving yourself for yourself, but giving this message in a nice and not in your face way. The singers distinctive, airy vocals are on fine form within this track, where she create a great vocal build within the song and brings this passion to her music that is great for the listener to hear.  The tracks production features a steady, soft bass and glittery synths that create a lovely rhythm to the track which is very 80’s inspired, and gives another dimension to the track that will make you fall in love with the music. Music to Make Boys Cry is a pure slice of pop gorgeousness that shows why Diana Vickers is one of the finer and perhaps one of the best artists to emerge from the UK X Factor, and if this doesn’t become a UK top 40 hit at the very least then I will be really disappointed.
