KWN – And All Pride Aside [Album Stream]
East London R&B artist kwn returns with and all pride aside, featuring DESTIN CONRAD, Ty Dolla $ign, and the official video for “risk it all.”
kwn opens up the emotional range on and all pride aside, a new 11-track project that moves between bedroom confidence, romantic frustration, and moments that feel much harder to shake off.
After with all due respect pushed her into a wider spotlight last year, and all pride aside does not simply repeat the same temperature. There is still plenty of slow-burn tension here—“touch myself,” “‘til u cry,” and the Ty Dolla $ign-assisted “‘til the room stinks” lean into that direct, physical side of her writing—but the record also lets the softer bruises sit closer to the surface.
DESTIN CONRAD appears on the opener “all fours,” setting the tone for a project that often treats desire like a power game with the rules constantly shifting. “rather never love again” stretches out into heartbreak, “idea of love” turns inward, and “heaven’s in your hands” closes the project with one of its most personal moments, written in the shadow of grief and family distance.
The release also arrives with an official video for “risk it all,” which turns the heat up without breaking the album’s emotional thread. kwn sounds fully aware of the pull between swagger and vulnerability here—not smoothing out the contradiction, but letting it shape the project.
