South London’s rising R&B star Kadeem Tyrell has kicked off 2025 with a bang, unveiling his latest single, ‘One Time’ - a feel-good track, co-produced by Joel AB, James Mwanza (JDXUK), and Stevie Williams. The fresh new drop is a playful homage to the iconic ‘Pony’ by Ginuwine, seamlessly blending noughties nostalgia with Kadeem’s signature modern R&B flair.

The single’s creation was sparked by a transformative trip to the U.S., where Kadeem performed on the ‘BBC Introducing’ stage at SXSW. During his month-long stay, he collaborated with a host of artists and producers who re-ignited his creative energy. This vibrant experience is reflected in the track’s rich soundscape, capturing the essence of classic R&B while delivering a fresh, contemporary twist.


With Stevie Williams, known for his work with Tyla and Mnelia, steering the production, the result is a captivating blend of nostalgia and innovation, and provides the perfect platform for Kadeem to build on the success of his 2022 mixtape, ‘As Time Goes By,’ and a string of acclaimed singles in 2023.


As the year unfolds, Kadeem Tyrell will continue to show us why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the evolving R&B scene, and‘One Time’ is just the beginning of what promises to be another standout year.
