WHO doesn't love a good romcom? We grew up on them, and some of those films have clung to us like the unforgettable soundtracks they carried.

The ultimate soundtrack for your love story

There's just something about those films that made us feel like life itself had a soundtrack, where every crush, every heartbreak, and every messy love story deserved its own montage.

The romcoms of today can't quite match the classics, but the nostalgia they spark is timeless, and that's exactly the space Will Linley steps into with his debut album Don't Cry Because It's Over.

The launch wasn't your average “press play and vibe” moment. Linley gave us the full package. Songs that hit you right in the feels, paired with visuals that leaned into the kind of cheesy romcom tropes we'd usually roll our eyes at, except this time we loved every second of it.

Each song feels like a scene from a romcom, not just expressing emotion but painting it vividly, almost cinematic in its detail. The music doesn't simply ask you to listen but also invites you to imagine.

Kind of like when you read your first book without any pictures and your mind fills in everything naturally. For Linley, romance comes just as naturally.

Linley has always impressed me with his ability to craft songs that feel personal yet universally relatable. This time, he's gone further, creating music that plays out like a film reel in your mind.
