KeepVibesNear is an Alternative R&B artist from London. With the looks of a 90ies R&B superstar and a delivery that owes more to King Krule than to D'Angelo, KVN doesn't fit into the usual boxes.

Raised in Romford, London with family ties in Lagos, he has built a loyal following with a couple of self-released songs and already enjoyed support from tastemakers like Jamz Supernova (BBC) and Jyoty (Rinse FM). After participating in The Silhouettes Project (check his single “What U Need“) KVN signed with Melting Pot Music, where he is releasing his new single “Gently“.

On “Gently” melancholic Wurlitzer notes reverberate across a cold sonic landscape, beautifully accompanied by KVN’s tender tones, channeling a wintery tale about reconciliation. KVN explains: “Gently as a song represents the build-up in an argument with your other half. That moment at the end of an argument when you give in to your care for the other person. You take a breath, put aside your ego. The turmoil in the verses compared to the make up in the chorus represent the balance in compromise.“

“I like to call my music ‘Noir R&B’ when I get into my bag on the real slow melancholic vibes“ KVN adds. To fully catch the vibe, we recommend to check out the music video – produced & directed by Alleycat Films – for the song. The stripped-back, raw quality of KVN's vocals and the reflective nature of his lyricism makes for a warming and addictive sound. With romance and relationships at the heart of his lyrical content, he uses passion, depth & imagery to explore the ups and downs of love and the vulnerability of manhood.

London based alternative R&B artist KeepVibesNear follows his much-praised track “Gently” on Melting Pot Music with new single “M25”. On “M25”, KVN spices up his ‘Noir R&B’ sound with some bars from East London rapper and illustrator Kieron Boothe. 

KVN describes “M25” as “a song about tension and build up.“ A tribute to one of England’s most important and busiest roads, enclosing almost all of Greater London, KVN explains: “I spend a lot of days looking forward to just getting home and winding down with that special someone. For some it’s a booty call, for some it’s seeing their girlfriend/boyfriend after a long day. M25 is my anthem for ‘What are we doing later?’ It's an ode to how we can have that someone that makes us so excited to be where they are.“ 

“M25” is produced by Harvey Whyte who recently laced tracks for the likes of Greentea Peng and Fatima and runs his own label, Studio 117. Like KVN, Kieron Boothe contributed to the first volume of The Silhouettes Project (2020) alongside artists like Enny, Kofi Stone and Summers Sons. 

KVN's “Gently“ enjoyed major support from Jamz Supernova (BBC 1XTra/BBC 6), Jyoty (Rinse FM), WDR Cosmo (Germany), Wordplay Mag and many more. It was featured on the “Jazz Rap“ playlist on Spotify and the music video scored a premiere at Complex UK. The stripped-back, raw quality of his vocals and the reflective nature of his lyricism makes for a warming and addictive sound.

Rising alternative R&B artist KeepVibesNear is blessing us with his new single ‘SRS’. It’s also the final taster of his upcoming EP “Now That We Know.”, to be released on September 3rd.

The 22-year-old singer describes ‘SRS’ as “a song that is quite special to me. ‘SRS’ is one of the first songs me and Harvey made after meeting almost two years ago now. I wrote it when I was in a strange time in my life.” The single is once again produced by London-based producer and rapper Harvey Whyte who has recently laced tracks for the likes of Greentea Peng and Fatima and runs his own label, Studio 117.

“This song helped me realise what I was feeling at that time even maybe before I had realised myself” KVN adds, “we live in a world where male emotions aren’t really championed much. This song forces everyone to think about that time where they liked somebody, let them down and had to step up for their trust to be taken seriously again.” The stripped-back, raw quality of KVN’s vocals and the reflective nature of his lyricism make for a warming and addictive sound.

The first single off the EP, ‘M25‘ featuring rapper and illustrator Kieron Boothe, enjoyed support from Jamz Supernova (BBC 1Xtra/BBC 6), WDR Cosmo (Germany), GRM Daily, Wordplay Magazine and many more. The accompanying music video was directed and produced by Honey JD of Loudhouse.
