London musician KeepVibesNear shares new single ‘Glad To Be With You’ released via Local Tone. Bringing a sun-tinged essence to the UK landscape, ‘Glad To Be With You’ is driven by KVN’s effortless delivery and contagious chorus with a guitar led-production from X. The release follows KVN’s recent headline performance at sold-out VIBELAND, a self-curated event featuring a hand-selected showcase of Jords, Kwoli Black, ESLA, and Musenverse. True to his reputation for vivid storytelling, ‘Glad To Be With You’ offers a heartfelt, coming-of-age narrative perfectly capturing the uplifting spirit of late summer. KVN continues to carve out a space where authenticity and melody meet, driven by a genre-bending sonic to support the mission to grow his reputation as one of London’s most exciting independent voices.
There’s a weight to KeepVibesNear’s sound. Not in the sense of heaviness, but it sits somewhere between nostalgia and forward motion, emotion and restraint. His voice is unmistakable, cutting through leftfield alt-R&B with the kind of intimacy that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into something personal. Romford-raised and East London-based, KeepVibesNear crafts music that challenges the rigid framework of masculinity, pulling apart the idea that vulnerability is something to be hidden. There’s no performative sadness here, just lived experience, unfiltered and unafraid. His upcoming releases bring new shades to his already rich palette, furthering a sound that’s as introspective as it is progressive. A key player in The Silhouettes Project, he has helped shape its movement, culminating in a headline set at KOKO in 2024 - just one moment in a string of performances, from We Out Here and Cross The Tracks to Brick Lane Jazz Festival and an opening slot for Loyle Carner in Hamburg. FloFilz, Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn, Jords, Kojey Radical, Ray Lozano, Benny Banks, Coops - the list is already stacked in terms of collaboration, a reflection of the way his smooth vocals slot effortlessly into a variety of worlds. BBC Radio 1Xtra, Capital 1Xtra, Rinse FM, Worldwide FM, Trench, Notion, New Wave Mag - they’re all tapped in. Sonically, KeepVibesNear pulls from an eclectic mix: Stevie Wonder’s warmth, King Krule’s grit, Frank Ocean’s emotion, John Mayer’s storytelling and The Internet’s cool.
With a new chapter on the horizon, KeepVibesNear is gearing up for a wave of exciting announcements and singles to arrive before the end of this year.
