Hello Cruel World
Love. Winning love. Losing love. Being in love. Leaving love. "Hello Cruel World" by Jimmy Brown is all about love.
On a cold gray Baltimore morning, a man pondered the meaning of life for a while. He dreamed of a kind of world where people are treated fairly, everyone has somebody to love, and socks are always dry. It was on this day that "Hello, Cruel World" was conceived in the mind of Jimmy Brown. Swirling guitars intertwine themselves on a loom of dreamy Pop melodies. Jimmy confesses that no great album is complete without a ballad. You won't be disappointed.
