LaGrange, GA singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and vocal dynamo Philmon Lee has released his new single, “Baby Don’t Cry” featuring Young Thug via Epic Records today. Perfectly illustrating the buzzing artist’s progression, the song spotlights his arresting vocals alongside a catchy guitar riff, piano and irresistible beat.
About the track, Philmon commented, “It was really a blessing. Thug heard a couple of my tracks and wanted to meet me. I went to the studio, and I played him a bunch of records. A couple of weeks later, we got together again, and he hopped on ‘Baby Don’t Cry’. Honestly, he’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He’s really humble, and he gave me a lot of gems about the industry. Lyrically, it’s about a girl whose feelings are hurt by another dude, and you’re trying to relate to her and let her know you’re the better option.”
In the accompanying video, Philmon strolls into a bar only to partake in the exact scene he sings about as he uplifts the spirit of a tearful young lady. Simultaneously, Young Thug cruises in a classic car and raps into the rearview mirror.
Philmon dropped his 706 EP to critical acclaim in 2021 after a string of buzzy singles that showcase his raw, one-in-a-generation talent. Along the way, he received critical praise from publications as diverse as Paste Magazine, American Songwriter, Flaunt Magazine, and more. Right now, he’s prepping more music for release in 2023.
