I'll Cry If I Want To

I'll Cry If I Want To is Lesley Gore's 1963 debut album centered on the single "It's My Party." The record exemplifies early 1960s teen pop with bright, orchestrated arrangements, close-harmony backing vocals, and concise songs about adolescent heartache and assertiveness. Gore's clear, emotive vocal delivery and the album's polished production capture the commercial pop sound of its time.
