Waste Your Pain
Cruz Beckham & The Breakers · Pop Rock
“The line 'don't waste your pain on me' is delivered with the emotional weight of someone who has never had to wait for a bus. Cruz Beckham singing about pain is like Elon Musk tweeting about loneliness. The feeling may technically be there but the context will never let it land.”
Cruz Beckham has his own band now. It is called The Breakers. The single is called Waste Your Pain. These are all decisions someone made in a room and nobody stopped them. The song is not bad. That is the nicest thing anyone is going to say about it for the rest of the year. It sounds like a Maroon 5 b-side written by a 21 year old who has never had to pay rent and wants you to know that he feels things too.
Cruz can actually sing, which is more than anyone expected. The band are clearly working musicians who know what they are doing, and the production by whoever his dad called is clean enough to not get in the way. This is a perfectly competent debut single. Perfectly competent is more than nepo babies usually manage.
