East London’s artist Kwn releases new single “No Cinderella”.

Born in Walthamstow with a DJ father, Kwn (pronounced kay-wuhn) grew up with the sounds of R&B and garage bumping through the house, but her own music’s a little harder to pin down. It’s been described as “sesh-ready party music” by some, but it’s defining factor, really, is its relatability. Even her sound, glazing her vocals with Auto-Tune and setting them against haunting electronics, it feels raw and, paradoxically, unfiltered.

Her latest track, “No Cinderella”, keeps it simple, detailing a relationship that both sides aren’t quite ready to admit is doomed. Without going into too much detail, she explained to us via email that she draws exclusively from personal experience when she writes and it’s striking a chord with fans in a big way. “I draw from my life experiences every time I write now,” she shares, “but before I struggled to put my thoughts to paper, I felt too vulnerable, so this was a big step for me.”
