Rising pop/R&B artist Hev’s Journey, aka Heavenleigh Villar, releases her latest single, “Why I Cry,” exploring love, loss, and self-doubt.
Talking about “Why I Cry,” Hev shares, “This song is one of my favorites. I was able to sing about two artists that I admire in the song. It’s a fun and playful spin on losing love.”
Produced by Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording and mix engineer Serge ‘Surgical’ Tsai, “Why I Cry” merges tangs of luscious R&B and tints of pop into a contagious, flowing, percolating-lite melody.
In 2024, Hev dropped a series of catchy singles, including “Home,” “Alone,” “Broken Promises,” and the deliciously Latin-flavored “Dance.” She’s been featured in elite media outlets and performed at Sweet Auburn Spring Fest for more than 100,000 people.
Hev’s Journey is a passionate advocate for women’s empowerment, using her platform to inspire young people to not only discover who they are but create their identities with authenticity and pride.
“Why I Cry” rolls out on swirling, flickering tones topped by Hev’s distinct voice, laced with plush timbres. On the chorus, her vocals elevate to alluring melodic timbres, giving the tune smooth, burnished surfaces.
“I thought things were okay / You went Jekyll and Hyde on me.”
With “Why I Cry,” Hev’s Journey escorts listeners on a tasty excursion through R&B and pop that offers appealing, stylish flair.
