Sam Morton - the musical duo comprising singer, songwriter and acclaimed actor and director Samantha Morton and music producer and artist Richard Russell - release a new single, Cry Without End, via XL Recordings.
Featuring musician and composer Alabaster DePlume, Cry Without End is simultaneously fragile and powerful, a gorgeous, heart-jangling song that sees Morton's ethereal vocal-acapella for the first verse - ultimately enveloped by delicate, lush orchestration.
The single is complimented by a deeply personal music video directed by, and featuring, Morton herself.
Despite a lifelong love of, and involvement in, music, Sam Morton is Samantha Morton's first ever artist project. The collaboration came out after Russell reached out following her much talked-about appearance on Desert Island Discs and shared love of one of her song selections in particular: I Remember by Molly Drake. A period of spontaneous and intense collaboration followed, one that yielded more than an album's worth of music and acted as a cathartic vehicle for their part-autobiographical lyricism and songwriting.
