Alice Boman unveils tender new ballad "The More I Cry"

"The More I Cry" is the third preview of Boman's Dream On LP, after earlier singles "Wish We Had More Time" and "This Is Where It Ends".

Speaking about the new offering, the Swedish singer/songwriter says, "This is the last song that I wrote for the album and to me it’s a special one. It felt like an important song to get out of me and on to the record and I wrote it in a few days. I played it for Patrik [Berger, producer] one day in the studio and we got inspired and started to play around on his old synths and recorded the whole core of the song that same day. We listened to that beautiful Elvis recording of Blue Moon and Patrik has this old '50s mic that I fell in love with, that I actually think is meant for drums, that we recorded the vocals on."

Dream On saw Boman work with producer Patrik Berger (Robyn, Charli XCX) and frequent collaborator Fabian Prynn. Boman says of the record, "This album is a new way of exploring intimacy for me. It can be scary to create with other people but you have to let that other person in and not hold back. It felt so good and so right working with him [Berger] right away, It's nice to be able to let go when it's with someone you feel like you can trust."

Expanding on the tone of the record, Boman adds, "A lot of the songs spring from a feeling of sadness, something being lost or broken or just not turning out the way you wanted it to. It's a way to express yourself, making you feel a bit lighter because heartbreak and disappointment are things that make you stronger. It's nice to share these things with people because it's such a universal feeling. I hope maybe someone can find some comfort in it - we're all going through similar things. There's no happy songs here, it's a sad record, but I think it's hopeful too."
