Crafted with sincerity and experimentation, the single stands out as a creative milestone for Shye. Anchored by a four-on-the-floor drum pattern—a first in her music—the song’s rhythmic pulse amplifies its emotional weight. “I have written a number of demos with the same guitar chords heard in this track, but this time felt different and everything seemed to fall into place,” Shye reflects. With her ethereal vocals gliding effortlessly over resonant drums and an uptempo beat, Shye confronts both authenticity and vulnerability: “I wanted to strip away worries and just focus on doing what I love. This track feels like a step back in the right direction for me.”
Beyond its rich sonic texture, “The Sun Will Cry” radiates hope, making it the soundtrack for anyone navigating the complexities of life, love, and personal growth. As Shye explains, “As always, I hope listeners can identify with the lyrics and the song as a whole. I feel that it offers a sense of hope in its melodies and energy”.
