Kairos The Writer - Can’t Talk (Official Video)

Kairos The Writer Shares Soulful New Single Can’t Talk.

London’s rising alternative hip-hop and R&B storyteller Kairos The Writer returns on 16 September with his new single Can’t Talk, lifted from his debut EP And Still I Love, released the same day.

Blending raw honesty with soulful, genre-bending production, Can’t Talk finds Kairos at his most vulnerable yet assured. The track reflects on heartbreak, closure, and personal growth – themes that resonate throughout the EP.

Speaking on the single, Kairos says: “Can’t Talk came from reflecting on my first real heartbreak — wanting that one final conversation, that closure you never quite get. But it’s also about growth, about realising you’ve outgrown phases of your life and the people who were part of them.”

And Still I Love moves effortlessly between hard-hitting tracks like Can’t Talk and stripped-back moments such as Goood Thing, showcasing Kairos’ ability to balance confidence with vulnerability.

Raised on church bands rather than formal training, Kairos taught himself to play by ear – a foundation that shapes his melodic, cinematic sound. His music transforms lived experiences of heartbreak, hope, and faith into stories that connect with listeners, drawing comparisons to artists like Little Simz, Loyle Carner, and Kojey Radical.

Both “Can’t Talk” and “And Still I Love” arrive on 16 September.
