Craymo – Tear Me Apart (Single Review)

Today’s review features Craymo’s new single “Tear Me Apart”.

Craymo, aka Craig Stephen Raymo, is an electronic pop/dance, singer/songwriter, based out of Orlando, Florida (USA). This song “Tear Me Apart” and Craymo’s previous single “Love Together” were both recorded in January of 2025 during the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, California.

According to the artist, “This soul pop song was written in homage to the soul pop singers of the 80’s like Martin Fry, Paul Young, George Michael and Tony Hadley.” “Tear Me Apart” won Best Pop Song and Vocal in the Fall 2025 Clouzine International Music Awards and was nominated Best Pop Song and Best Pop Artist in the 2025 Indie Music Channel Awards in Los Angeles, CA.Craymo is currently pitching his music to film and TV.

So let’s have a listen …

Starts with an electro beat and keyboards, the vocals come soaring over the top of the mix. A song about breaking up. The vocals and arrangement suddenly change to something more straightforward, then we’re back to the verse, sounding like the start of the song again. The track sort of reminds me of Flashdance, but with a male vocal reminiscent of 80s Flock of Seagulls. A bit of a bridge, then back into the main chorus of the piece. The song is definitely a dance-pop tune meant to make your ass boogie.

SCORE/Good: Craymo delivers a dance-pop tune, full of fun, with “Tear Me Apart”. I can hear this track in a gay/dance club, which is a good thing. The arrangement is interesting, and the production is nice. Have a listen for yourself and maybe you’ll be dancing too. Much love, Beth
