KiLLOWEN unveils new mixtape ‘addicted 2 nostalgia’

KiLLOWEN continues to carve out his own lane with the release of his forthcoming mixtape ‘addicted 2 nostalgia’, arriving just ahead of a 14-date UK and European tour. Blending the rhythmic bounce of UK Garage with the introspective edge of alternative rap, the London-based artist delivers a project that captures the emotional highs and lows of the past 18 months.

Across the tape, KiLLOWEN leans into themes of reflection, growth and the complexities of life, further establishing himself as one of the more distinctive storytellers emerging from the UK scene. The mixtape moves fluidly between energetic moments and more vulnerable reflections.

Tracks such as ‘Naughties’, which flips a sample from Calvin Harris, bring a nostalgic club-ready energy, while cuts like ‘tell me where your mind goes’ and ‘closer’ explore more introspective territory. The contrast gives the project a dynamic feel, balancing high-tempo sounds with thoughtful lyricism. One of the standout moments arrives with ‘sexy’, a collaboration with Kwengface that showcases KiLLOWEN’s knack for crafting tracks with undeniable replay value.

More than just a snapshot of the past year, the mixtape signals the start of a new chapter - one that continues to expand the boundaries of his sound and creative vision.
