Cry Baby

**Cry Baby** (stage name of Samantha Frances Dean) is a Boston-based indie artist known for her raw, emotionally charged songwriting and DIY ethos. Blending moody bedroom pop with gritty emo undertones, she’s carved a niche with confessional lyrics about heartache, self-doubt, and the messy realities of young adulthood. Tracks like *Waking Up Alone* and *Tide* showcase her knack for pairing haunting melodies with candid storytelling, while recent releases like *Victims You Hide* and *Morning Light* lean into grungier, guitar-driven textures. Cry Baby’s work often feels like flipping through a diary – unpolished, intimate, and deeply relatable. Her 2023 split single *Headspace/Copy Machine* and the lo-fi demo *Hot Nothing* further highlight her unfiltered approach to capturing life’s sharp edges.
