London-based singer and songwriter Sarah Nimmo returns with Can’t Stop Crying, a new single co-produced with Joseph Ashworth and released alongside an intimate visual directed, shot and edited by Ciara Reddy. Following Underground and Night & Day, the track marks a deeper turn in her solo path, one shaped by emotional precision and a renewed sense of authorship.
Some songs come from a distance, softened by time. Can’t Stop Crying arrives with the moment still alive inside it. Written on the night NIMMO came to an end, the track captures the quiet shock of an unexpected rupture, when loss is still raw and language has not yet caught up. Sarah’s voice sits close, steady and exposed, while the rhythm moves forward as if testing the ground beneath her. She described the release as “deep emotional autumnal catharsis,” a fitting description for a track built from both fracture and release.
The video extends this emotional landscape rather than illustrating it. Ciara Reddy approaches the visual with restraint and instinct, using shifts in light, framing and physical stillness to mirror the song’s internal tension. The result feels like an afterimage of the night that inspired it, intimate without being literal.
In the days surrounding the release, Sarah appeared in the new Bangs zine, sharing a memory from her teenage years working the door at her local pub in Kilburn. The story is funny and bruising at once, revealing the mix of vulnerability and resilience that shapes much of her songwriting. It reads like a small window into the person behind the voice.
Can’t Stop Crying signals a chapter defined not by reinvention but by clarity. Sarah Nimmo turns an ending into a moment of illumination, offering a portrait of heartbreak that breathes, listens and eventually opens into something new.
