She’s not looking for sympathy. Not with this one. ‘Made You Cry’ comes in cold, slides under the skin, and just lingers there, like something you meant to say during a breakup and never did. Alessiah isn’t here to apologize or redeem herself. She’s here to admit the mess, own it, even.

‘Lingering, Regretful, Intimate.’

-PurpleMistress

Quiet beat, ghostly synth lines, vocals that hover just above the static. There’s nothing loud here, but everything cuts. It’s all suggestion, all edge. You can hear the tension in the space between lines. R&B haze with a sharp alt-pop core. No chorus to cling to. No obvious drop. Just her voice, calm and cruel, tracing every bruise the relationship left behind. It’s a song that tells you the truth when you’re not ready to hear it.
