Boys Don’t Cry is an interesting concept. The nine-track compilation was designed to show a more sensitive side to some of the most famous men signed to one of Thailand’s biggest entertainment conglomerates GMMTV.

9 songs
9 sensitive guys
Because boys …do cry.

Like all GMMTV products, the box set is incredibly well put together. The photo cards and photobook are all high quality. Two sleekly designed thumb drives, house both the songs and the music videos (each has its own). My one gripe about the release is that, with as high quality as it is, the songs are only in .mp3 format – not WAV. Other than that… it’s a great set. Some of my most favorite songs are listed below. 

Move ไปไหน (Unmovable) – BRIGHT VACHIRAWIT

Though Bright left GMMTV earlier this year. He’s still a major presence at the agency. Incredibly gifted, I’m excited to see where he goes career-wise. 

เหงาเป็น (Lonely Mode) – JOSS WAY-AR

This one surprised me. I knew Joss was a gifted dancer (watch 3 Will Be Free) but I had no idea he was a singer. He’s good. Very good. 

จักรวาลที่ฉันต้องการมีแค่เธอ (My Universe is You) – NANON KORAPAT

Nanon is one of my absolute favorites at GMMTV. He’s got such a rich and emotional voice. He’s an incredibly gifted entertainer – and if you haven’t heard his debut album The Secrets of the Universe yet… you’re missing out!

แค่… (Just So You Know) – MEK JIRAKIT | BOYS DON’T CRY

One of the coolest moments of my year was getting to interview Mek Jirakit. He’s incredibly humble and down-to-earth, but also so insanely kind and absolutely hilarious. Also… The video opens with him shirtless so… how could I not like it?

เก็บความรู้สึกเก่ง (Invisible Tears) – TAY TAWAN | BOYS DON’T CRY

I’m going to be very honest. This man could sing the “ABC Song” and I’ll still have it on repeat.

One of the good things about dealing so much with eThai CD is that they’ve come to know my tastes. nowing what a HUGE fan of Nanon I am, they were not only able to get me one of the boxsets, but it was also signed by Nanon himself! It’s a brilliant addition to my collection and money that was very well spent!

You can order your own copy of Boys Don’t Cry directly from eThaiCD – but it probably won’t be signed.

More product reviews soon so…
