Single Review: Weeping

Dueling divas Iveta & Simone have dropped the single Weeping, and it’s a power ballad with production values and a sense of drama which could make Jim Steinman or a drag queen blush.

If production values were shoes, this tune would be an 8“ sparkly pink platform stiletto.

Right from the opening bars of synth strings and programmed drums, it’s a 1980‘s inspired sound. In proper pop structure, it hits the chorus at 40 seconds in.

Lyrically it’s a story about a man not being faithful, leaving his woman ‘weeping’, and it follows a pretty linear narrative, the singers suspect male is unfaithful, find evidence, and then are Weeping. The second and third verses follow suit, as does the middle 8, ‘if she kiss your lips?, know it kills my heart, if you promise love, just from the start…’ and so on.

To be honest, I’d like to hear an acoustic version of the song.
