Please Don’t Cry, Michael Burrows | Artist Spotlight

A paragon of progressive artistry emulsified in a classic Country/Folk culture. – Michael Burrows. 

“Please Don’t Cry” is Michael Burrows’ new single and it is on fire! His passion for music shines through in this track.

“Please Don’t Cry” is arranged beautifully. It starts with Michael Burrows playing the guitar as the intro before the drums enter into the song. The lyric video not only gives you the lyrics to the song but it also gives a behind the scenes glimpse. This is a great song, the chorus is catchy and I couldn’t help but sing along to it.

Michael Burrows has the quintessential mix of classic and contemporary that Australia’s Country music scene has to offer. The brand new single “Please Don’t Cry”, taken from his debut EP Turn This Love Around has encountered many incarnations including a yet to be released version with Neil Finn from Crowded House on vocals. With his fusion of Country, Folk, Americana and Rock styles and having worked with some of music’s royalty over the recent period, Burrows has delivered a track resulting in an amalgamation of creativity, hard work, and honest leaving you with a taste of things to come.

He worked on this EP with GRAMMY-award winning, Hall of Famer, Country artist Frank Myers (I Swear), producer Jimmy Nichols, and audio engineer, and also the GRAMMY-award winner, Steve Marcantonio. “It started out as a really slow ballad, written in the early hours of the morning in the front room while everyone was asleep. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, who exercise in modest melodies and deceptively simple words, describing complex emotions.”
