Rising Alt-R&B singer KeepVibesNear aka KVN drops his second release of the year, ‘Late Night Link’ featuring Harvey Whyte and Luke RV.

Featuring some of the UK Hip-Hop scene's finest voices, ‘Late Night Link’ is part of a double-sided single and follows ‘Late Night Drive’ featuring long term collaborator rapper/producer Harvey Whyte and Brighton Grime/Garage duo Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn. ‘LNL’ sees KVN link up with up and coming Welsh rapper Luke RV and Harvey Gunn. 

Known for his unapologetic vulnerability, KVN showcases his range with the up-tempo single, bridging the gap between alternative Rap and R&B and demonstrating his ability to write personally yet playfully. Directed by Sebastian Luke-Virgo, the video follows the trio as they escape to the countryside with the autumnal brown trees, lakes and hilltops providing the perfect backdrop. Both sonically and visually the artist's cohesion is clear for all to see, with KVN’s gravelly tone and melodic chorus at the core. When speaking about the track KeepVibesNear stated:

“‘LNL’ is a song about that search for a ‘ride or die’ the joy of the chase and the back and forth. Anticipating colliding with a person and the excitement that comes with. If it’s meeting for the first time of many or just a late night link, haha. It’s a thrill everyone can relate to when you link someone you excited about. Something the mandem smile and tell their friends about.”

Raised in Romford with family ties in Nigeria, KVN is hoping his music can change the outdated narrative that men can’t show or feel the vast spectrum of emotions, good, bad and everything in between. In a time when toxic masculinity is still so rife, he intends to make space for men to express themselves, open up and be vulnerable. Bringing that refreshing energy into the new year and reflecting on last year, 2021 highlights for the musician included his ‘Now That We Know.’ EP, receiving ongoing support from the likes of Jamz Supernova, Rinse FM, Worldwide FM and NTS, as well as ending the year selling out his headline show at the Hackney Social Club.

Rising Alt R&B singer KeepVibesNear aka KVN drops first solo single in 2023, ‘Another Casualty’. Produced by Nikhil Beats and releasing via Melting Pot Music.

Blessed with an unmistakable voice, and a natural talent for creating dark & emotive leftfield R&B, Romford-born, London-based artist KeepVibesNear has cut a singular shape in the capital’s musical underbelly. Playing an integral role in the much-heralded Silhouettes Project, as well as racking up collaborations with FloFilz, Ray Lozano, BERWYN & Coops - his dulcet tones have seen him gain support from the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra, Rinse FM, Worldwide FM, Trench, Notion and New Wave Mag. 

Returning with a matured, yet characteristically melancholic sound, his new single ‘Another Casualty’ tells a tale of lament and redemption, as a wintery guitar motif is joined by crisp drums and winsome saxophones. Shifting shadows and pitched down vocals add to the eerie atmosphere, whilst KVN’s vocals weave effortlessly throughout the track. 

On the track, KVN explains: “'Another Casualty' is a song about misused time. In relationships we have good times and bad. This song is about how we come back from the bad for someone we deeply care about. That reflection you look for inside to try and be better when it’s necessary. I see this song as a conversation with the feeling that comes from a certain type of solitude we only really feel in and out of love. This feeling really inspired me with the image of being lost at shore, another casualty of the sea and the drama of it all.”

KeepVibesNear - Another Casualty

Stream & download: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/overnow

Rising Alt R&B singer KeepVibesNear aka KVN drops new single, ‘Over Now’. Produced by Gwadalean and releasing via Melting Pot Music.

Blessed with an unmistakable voice, and a natural talent for creating dark & emotive leftfield R&B, Romford-born, London-based artist KeepVibesNear has cut a singular shape in the capital’s musical underbelly. Playing an integral role in the much-heralded Silhouettes Project, as well as racking up collaborations with FloFilz, Ray Lozano, BERWYN & Coops - his dulcet tones have seen him gain support from the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra, Rinse FM, Worldwide FM, Trench, Notion and New Wave Mag. 

Returning with a matured, yet characteristically melancholic sound, his new single ‘Over Now’ tells a tale of heartbreak and closure, about finding peace in losing your significant other. Produced by London newcomer Gwadalean, who also added a verse of his own. The single is accompanied by a moody black & white music video, produced by Henry Croston and directed by KVN himself.

Raised in Romford with family ties in Nigeria, KVN is hoping his music can change the outdated narrative that men can’t show or feel the vast spectrum of emotions, good, bad and everything in between. With the theme of troubled love running through the river of KVN’s story he brings a refreshing vulnerability to his music. In a time when toxic masculinity is still so rife, he intends to make space for men to express themselves and open up. Citing the likes of Tyler The Creator, Andre 3000 and The Internet as key influences, KVN is the perfect combination of honesty and humour - an artist the UK music scene is truly craving.

Playing an integral role in the much-heralded Silhouettes Project, as well as gaining support from the likes of BBC Radio 1Xtra, Rinse FM, Worldwide FM, Trench, Notion and New Wave Mag, Romford-born, London-based artist KeepVibesNear returns with his emotional-rollercoaster single ‘In Your Eyes’ 17th January 2024 via Melting Pot Music. 

Blessed with an unmistakable voice, and a natural talent for creating dark & emotive leftfield R&B, ‘In Your Eyes’ sees KeepVibesNear joined by ascending alt-pop artist Jay Lewn. The duo trade sentimental & longing vocal motifs amongst uplifting instrumentation, low slung beats and a sultry bassline. It is the third single to be released from KVN’s eagerly anticipated new project ‘NOIR.’ (due for release 23rd February 2024) which also features the likes of Benny Banks and Gwadalean.

While delivering modern R&B with an electronic twist and jazzy undertones, the young artist offers a refreshing take on vulnerability, opening up about emotions and toxic masculinity and intending to make space for men to express their emotions. Citing the likes of Tyler The Creator, Andre 3000 and The Internet as key influences, he likes to describe his signature sound as ‘Noir R&B’. On the track KVN explains: 

“Sometimes your image of someone or expectations don’t match up with reality and I think that’s something everyone comes across at some point in life. Perception is an interesting thing and I guess this song is a conversation about trying to be that for someone as well as the fear of not being able to.”
