Breakout alt-pop artist, Ricky Montgomery has released his latest single, “It’s Ok To Cry” today via Warner Records. On the track, the catchy, yet cathartic chant illuminates his uncanny ability to make heartbreak sound strangely sweet.
About the track Ricky explains, “I wrote ‘It’s Ok to Cry’ in late 2020 for my childhood dog Lily, who passed away in the middle of lockdown. I wasn’t able to be there, and I took that really hard. I finished most of the lyrics the day that it happened, but it still took me 3 years to find a version that felt good enough to honor her memory. I think we finally found that version.”
Alongside the arrival of “It’s Ok To Cry,” Ricky launches his biggest North America headline tour yet—”The Rick Tour: Another Rick in the Wall”–on February 13 at The Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ.
