kwn raises the bar once again with new E.P ‘and all pride aside’

Few artists have built momentum quite like kwn over the past couple of years. Emerging from Walthamstow with a distinctive take on contemporary R&B, she has quickly established herself as one of the UK's most exciting exports, earning global recognition while carving out a lane entirely of her own.

Now, following months of anticipation, kwn returns with her brand new EP, 'and all pride aside'. The 11-track project arrives as the follow-up to her acclaimed 2025 release, 'with all due respect', the project that hosted fan-favourite records including ‘worst behaviour’ and firmly positioned her among the genre's rising stars. Since then, her trajectory has only continued upwards, with major collaborations, international recognition and a growing fanbase on both sides of the Atlantic.

Having joined forces with Kehlani and continued to make waves across the global R&B landscape, 'and all pride aside' feels like the natural next step in kwn's artistic evolution. The project brings together previously released singles ‘touch myself’ and ‘hopeless romantic’ alongside a collection of brand new material that further showcases her effortless songwriting, captivating vocals and emotionally rich storytelling.

Balancing vulnerability with confidence, the EP demonstrates the maturity that has become synonymous with her music. Adding even more weight to the release are collaborations with Destin Conrad and Ty Dolla $ign, two standout names who not only elevate the project but also underline kwn's growing reputation within the US R&B scene.

Already regarded as one of the brightest new voices in British R&B, this new project feels like another defining moment for kwn.
