Zentone’s “Make You Cry” is a dub track that hits deep, not with noise or drama, but with emotional gravity that sits quietly in your chest. Pulled from their third album Messenger, it’s a slow-burning reflection on love, loss, and the strange comfort of memory.

Zentone, the powerhouse collaboration between Zenzile and High Tone, two legends of the French dub scene, continue to redefine what dub can be. Here, they revisit the genre’s roots with a distinctly human edge. It’s bass-heavy yet tender, grounded in tradition yet emotionally modern. The production is soaked in reverb and delay, stretching every echo into a memory that refuses to fade.
Leading the charge is Jolly Joseph, whose voice brings raw truth to every line. He sings: “No prayer, no tears will ever bring you back to me / I just sit right here, and I blow whisky for dreams.”
It’s not just heartbreak; it’s self-awareness. He’s mourning, reflecting, and still trying to “believe,” even when belief feels pointless. His delivery is calm but heavy, like he’s narrating from somewhere between reality and resignation.

“Make You Cry” stands out because it balances sorrow with sonic beauty. There’s groove even in the grief, basslines that keep the track alive, percussion that breathes warmth into the sadness. It’s dub for late nights and long thoughts.
With Messenger, Zentone takes listeners on a global dub journey, from Bristol to Kingston but “Make You Cry” is its emotional core. It’s a reminder that even the coolest bassline can carry heartbreak.
