There’ll be no tears for Nicki Nicole…

The 22-year-old Argentine rapper and singer has dropped new single “NO voy a llorar :’),” her first release of 2023.

The track is deeply personal and uncanny with a theme of heartbreak and disappointment at its center.

The song starts slow, with Nicki Nicole belting a heart-wrenching verse over melancholic organ riffs: “I will not cry when you go/ I will not suffer if you leave me/ I’ve convinced myself that your love/ Can’t be for me,” she sings — with a chipmunk-like effect. The track quickly turns into a mid-tempo, pop-urban tune where she performs — now in full-voice and with confidence — lyrics like “Go on with your life/ I won’t think of you.”

The music video, directed by Lucas Vignale, shows Nicki Nicole vulnerable in a bathtub crying — or rather un-crying (her tears are shown in reverse, rolling up her cheeks to meet her eyes) — before submerging fully in the water, only to reemerge on the street, ready to face any challenge life throws her way.
