KWN Talks New EP, Touch Myself, Idea of Love & Her Sold Out Sydney Opera House Show

Fresh off her Australian tour and a sold-out Sydney Opera House show, KWN sat down with Seany B for In Session to talk about her new EP, the world she is building around her music, and why this next era feels more honest, vulnerable and intentional than ever. In this conversation, KWN opens up about the making of Touch Myself and Idea of Love, the 90s and 2000s R&B influences behind her sound, her viral COLORS performance, and what it felt like hearing Australian fans sing every word back to her on the other side of the world. She also talks about growing as an artist, learning to be more open in her writing, dream collaborations with Pharrell and Beyoncé, fashion influences from A$AP Rocky to Lenny Kravitz, and why she still feels like she is only getting started.
