For Cryin' Out Loud! is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Finneas. The album was released on October 4, 2024, through OYOY and Interscope. [1] It is the follow-up record to his debut studio album Optimist .
During a May 2024 Rolling Stone cover story for Finneas's sister, Billie Eilish, Finneas revealed he was working on a new solo album. He described feeling lonely whilst solo-producing his first album, believing that he did an "OK job", but not making songs in the best possible way they could sound. Therefore, Finneas said, "I've made a point to be hyper-collaborative. Fortunately, most of my friends are producers". [2]
On August 8, 2024, Finneas announced For Cryin' Out Loud! on Instagram and released the title track as its lead single, along with a music video directed by Isaac Ravishankara. [3] A same-day press release characterized Finneas' creative process for the album as "steering things away from the bedroom producer mentality and to a classic studio/band environment". [4] The album was produced during a series of live studio sessions in Los Angeles, California. [5]
According to the review aggregator Metacritic , For Cryin' Out Loud! received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 66 out of 100 from 5 critic scores. [6]
All tracks are written by Finneas O'Connell, Aron Forbes, David Marinelli, Lucy Healy, Matthew Fildey, and Miles Morris except where noted.
