Zentone’s “Make You Cry” powerfully enhances the emotional depth of bass
When two of France’s most cutting-edge dub collectives collide, there are always fireworks. On their new release, “Make You Cry,” Zentone, the powerhouse joining Zenzile and High Tone’s forces, pulls out all the stops, reminding listeners why this collaboration has been at the heart of Europe’s dub scene. Almost two decades after its first collaboration, Zentone maintains its mission to test the limits of dub, not as a genre but as an emotional language.
“Make You Cry” drags you into a world that is at once cinematic and deeply intimate. Zenzile’s trademark organic grooves are the track’s beating heart, keeping things grounded in rhythm and warmth as High Tone makes the synths simmer up above, like spectral echoes of feeling. In between those two things lies a sound that feels very alive, beating, breathing, and evolving with each successive bar. “Make You Cry” isn’t about sorrow but connection, it is a gorgeous sound marrying feeling.
The production is lush and enveloping. Every listen reveals subtle details such as a delicate delay tail, a ghostly swell, and a drum line that seemingly chases its shadow. But as precise as it is technically, “Make You Cry” never loses its human element. It’s the kind of song that makes you dance first and feel second, your feelings something you can’t quite name. This is the sort of track that won’t go away, long after the last note of bass disappears, its echo remains.

JAD4TRONX captures signature sound on “How Do I Let You Know”
JAD4TRONX serves up a masterclass in modern R&B with his newest offering, “How Do I Let You Know,” which combines West Coast feels and forward-thinking electronic-soul sensibilities. It’s a sound that honors his roots while radically expanding what R&B can feel like in 2026. The music is arranged with such surgical precision that every note has room to breathe while maintaining momentum that draws listeners back into the groove.
At the core of the track are Zamora Knight’s vocals, which infuse each lyric with raw honesty and palpable emotion. Her delivery is both intimate and commanding, gliding through the song’s peaks and valleys with precision. The push and pull between the production and the vocals lends a fragile tension that suits how one describes what can’t be described.
“How Do I Let You Know” is a diary entry, an extension of the openness she has built into the multihyphenate identity all her own, but nestles itself within the type of future-forward R&B soundscape that JAD4TRONX has become synonymous with.
