“Make You Cry” stands out as one of the key moments on Messenger, the latest album by Zentone, the collective formed by Zenzile from Angers and High Tone from Lyon. The record, released in late September 2025 on Jarring Effects and Wiser Records, cements their collaboration as a single, unified band alongside vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jolly Joseph.

The track is built on firm rhythm, defined by Matthieu Bablée’s bass and Jean-Christophe Wauthier’s drums. Vincent Erdeven’s organ and brief guitar motifs from Julien and Axel Oresta move around Joseph’s steady vocal line. His tone stays measured and intimate, giving the song a more personal character.

“Make You Cry” captures the essence of Messenger, where Zenzile’s live, rhythm-based drive meets High Tone’s electronic control. The production stays exact, using echo and reverb only for emphasis. Across the nine tracks of the album, Zentone keep this focus: each composition built on firm rhythm, concise arrangement, and a consistent tempo that moves between roots, rub-a-dub, and instrumental sections.
