Rising East London R&B singer kwn (pronounced kay-wuhn) has just released her highly anticipated 9-track EP, with all due respect, marking a bold artistic statement that blends classic soul with a distinctly modern R&B edge. Released under RCA Records, the project is a confident and emotional showcase of her vocal prowess, lyrical depth, and genre-blurring artistry.
From the opening track to the final notes, with all due respect plays like a love letter to vulnerability, power, and womanhood. kwn’s smooth, expressive voice navigates themes of heartbreak, sensuality, and resilience with striking honesty. The production fuses live instrumentation with contemporary R&B grooves, making space for both nostalgia and fresh innovation.
Collaborations with international heavyweights Kehlani and FLO help punctuate the EP’s emotional highs. On “worst behaviour,” Kehlani joins kwn in a smoldering duet full of attitude and allure, while FLO appears on “talk you through it,” offering rich harmonies over a rhythmic, late-night beat. Other standout tracks include the moody, club-inspired “back of the club,” the vulnerable yet commanding “do what I say,” and the viral fan favorite “fck!n,” which has already stirred attention online for its unapologetically raw tone.
With over 100 million global streams and a Billboard “Rookie of the Month” title under her belt, she’s not only gaining traction in the UK but rapidly expanding her international profile. Her remix of “worst behaviour” with Kehlani has racked up more than 13 million views, and recent nods from the BET Awards, including a nomination for Best New International Act, have only intensified the spotlight.
Having already shared the stage with acts like Destin Conrad and collaborated with experimental artists like Jordan Adetunji, kwn is proving herself as both a fearless performer and a visionary songwriter.
