Rising R&B sensation Kwn is ready to set the summer ablaze with new music. The East London native has announced her new EP And All Pride Aside will release June 26 via RCA Records.
The project is a continuation of her breakout EP, With All Due Respect. “Thank you for being patient,” Kwn wrote on Instagram. “Very ready for you to hear the version of me you haven’t met yet. It’s arrogant, it’s sexy, it’s fun, but also vulnerable, honest and unapologetically myself.”
The 11-track offering will include the early single “Hopeless Romantic,” as well as the freshly released “Touch Myself” and “Idea of Love.”
Produced by FaxOnly and Zeek, “Touch Myself” is a passionate confessional fueled by a white-hot desire to be intimate with someone special, a yearning so intense that the mere thought of them leaves her to her own devices. “I touch myself just thinkin’ about you,” Kwn sings in the chorus.
“Idea of Love” shifts the mood to Kwn’s more vulnerable side. Jaylon Black’s cinematic strings, paired with CTAG’s guitar work, serve as a backdrop for Kwn to contemplate her relationship with the four-letter word. Even though she has no problem “getting bad bitches,” there’s a piece of her that dreads making connections that seem to be fleeting.
Yet, there’s some urgency in wanting to establish a foundation with someone while she’s early in her career for fear of attracting the wrong person: “Wanna find me somebody while I’m still in the mud / ‘Cause sh*t gon’ change once I get me some bucks.”
Kwn released With All Due Respect in August 2025. The EP is home to standouts such as the Kehlani-assisted “Worst Behaviour,” “Back of the Club” and “Talk You Through It” featuring FLO.
“This project is me setting a foundation for myself in R&B. I’ve done a few great features this past year and now I want people to start taking me in for who I am as an artist,” said Kwn. “I feel a lot of people had previously been sleeping on me & doubting me. With all due respect, they should have never done that. Bow!”
Kwn supported her debut EP on her multi-leg headlining tour, which was sold out.
