Hold on tight pop music fans, because Mikolas Josef is back with a bang! The talented singer, songwriter, producer, choreographer, actor and music video director, born in Prague, returns with his latest single “Boys Don’t Cry” and it’s a must-listen for all the music enthusiasts out there. This time, Mikolas Josef has brought together an all-star team of collaborators for his latest masterpiece. The track features the Grammy award-winning mix engineer and producer Chris Lord-Alge, as well as the mastermind behind BTS’ hit song “Butter,” Rob Grimaldi.

The impressive line-up of superstars working together on this single is enough to pique anyone’s interest.

“Boys Don’t Cry” by Mikolas Josef is a vulnerable and introspective song that explores the societal pressure on boys to suppress their emotions and not show vulnerability. The lyrics are poignant and thought-provoking, addressing the idea that boys are expected to be strong and unemotional at all times, even in the face of heartbreak and pain.

The song begins with the line “So long, times up, you told me I would be alright” which can be interpreted as a message from someone who has been trying to convince the song’s protagonist that he doesn’t need to show his emotions because boys don’t cry. This idea is reinforced in the chorus with the repeated phrase “You always said that boys don’t cry.”

The pre-chorus line, “So if you’re gonna say I’m bulletproof then,” implies that the protagonist has been trying to live up to this expectation of being strong and unbreakable. However, he ultimately reveals that this is not the case when he invites the listener to “Come and break my heart” in the chorus.

The middle eight of the song is particularly powerful, with the repeated line “Yeah boys don’t cry I know” further emphasizing the societal pressure on boys to suppress their emotions.

However, the protagonist ultimately rejects this idea, declaring that he has “learned to hide the tears inside” but he’s not going to pretend to be someone he’s not anymore.

“Boys Don’t Cry” is a powerful and timely song that sheds light on the damaging effects of toxic masculinity and the pressure on boys and men to suppress their emotions. The lyrics are insightful, making this song an important addition to the current cultural conversation.

It manages to bring out all the best qualities of Mikolas Josef’s sound while also catering to his stunning vocal abilities. A vivid jaunt of exciting rhythm, the track is a comprehensive snapshot of the upbeat vibe Mikolas has been cultivating to conquer the world.
