Marseille are back with their latest sure-fire hit, "Don't Cry If It Hurts"

LISTEN TO ‘IF IT HURTS DON’T CRY’  HERE NOW.

Marseille are returning once again with their ‘magnum opus’ of a final single taken from the highly anticipated “GODIVA” EP, “If It Hurts, Don’t Cry” 

The new single will be released across all major streaming platforms on the 26th of July 2024, and a music video to accompany it will be released on a later date.  

“If It Hurts, Don’t Cry” is heartfelt and a reflection on what could have been, before exploding into a euphoric, inspirational wall of guitars and strings. Elements of The Verve fused with the groove and elegance of the late 60’s Rolling Stones and a hint of attitude comparable to early Oasis in the buildup of the track into its explosive end. The song opens with acoustic guitar before a majestic slide guitar track slowly introduces us to angelic soulful vocals. The song takes us on a journey of feelings of regret and wishing for a second chance before the band erupts into an uplifting inspirational ending representing a sense of optimism going forward. The sort of optimism that these young lads should be showing based on where their career is headed. Marseille truly do not seem to be fazed by the amount of talent and dedication they are putting into their craft and future careers; they are so driven to get to where they want to be, and it shows. 

Singer and songwriter of Marseille, Will Brown had this to say about the upcoming single: 

“If It Hurts, Don’t Cry has been an idea that has been in the tank for a while. It was a gorgeous ballad, but I had never figured out how to round off the song. The day it came to me I took it to the lads, and it blew everyone away. A sign of a great song.”
