\u201cI think people are just starting to put out music that they genuinely love and we\u2019re not chasing a trend or chasing a TikTok moment anymore,\u201d Kwn said.<\/p>\n
(Michelle Helena Janssen)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n
In a previous interview, you said that \u201cWith All Due Respect\u201d is the first part of a two-part album and that you\u2019re planning to release a B-side. Is that still the plan? If so, when can we expect that?<\/b><\/p>\n
Yeah, absolutely. I\u2019ve just been so busy with this promo stuff and then obviously we jumped straight into tour. It\u2019s going well though. I\u2019m excited about the next set of music. It\u2019s very classic. That\u2019s what it feels like timely. <\/p>\n
I have to ask. Are you planning on dropping it sometime next year? <\/b><\/p>\n
Yeah. It\u2019s not going to be a year after that. I tell ya [laughs<\/i>].<\/p>\n
You toured with Kehlani last year (on the Europe stretch) and you said that the experience proved to you that you can really do this music thing. Fast forward just months later, you are in the midst of your first headlining tour. How does that make you feel? What was your mindset going into this tour?<\/b><\/p>\n
I was definitely nervous. But I think I was nervous because I was like, you can fake streams. You can fake followers. You can fake all this stuff, but the one thing you can\u2019t fake is people, real people buying tickets to your show. Not saying that I have fake streams or followers, because I absolutely do not. But the real telling is like people coming to see you at your shows, and the feedback that you get from that. And yeah, the reception has been great, man. It\u2019s been more than I could have imagined. I\u2019ll be honest. I have not seen a bad word about my show, which I\u2019m really grateful for because that\u2019s all I wanted to be honest. I just wanted to be able to have fun. I wanted to be able to engage with people. I\u2019m not a dancer or anything, ya know, so I felt like it was going to be hard for me to engage with the crowd and give them a good show, but I\u2019m really just being myself on stage and letting my personality out. So I think that\u2019s what\u2019s captivating people, which I\u2019m glad about. <\/p>\n
You\u2019re kicking off the U.S. and Canada leg of your tour in L.A. on Tuesday. What can fans expect? <\/b><\/p>\n
A good time! I keep saying it\u2019s really a special experience to be able to do these small, intimate shows. And I know people are like, \u201cYou could\u2019ve sold out this venue and you could\u2019ve done this venue …\u201d And I\u2019m like, yeah but these intimate, almost like one-to-one moments and experiences with people is what they will appreciate a lot more in the long run. And I know I am too. I be walking into these venues and I\u2019m like \u201cOh, this small. Like we definitely could\u2019ve gone bigger.\u201d But I\u2019m like nah. This is what it\u2019s about. Everybody\u2019s gotta start somewhere and I think it\u2019s just important, like I said, that we can have these intimate moments with each other. It\u2019s a super super special experience, it feels great. <\/p>\n
From Cleo Sol to Sasha Keable to Odeal to Elmiene and several others, it truly feels like the U.K. <\/b>R&B<\/b> scene is having a moment. How does this make you feel to be a part of such good company?<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s great. I feel like music was kind of on a decline for a little bit. It felt like no one was really excited about music, but I feel like now it\u2019s like \u201cOh, people are really getting excited about things again.\u201d I think people are just starting to put out music that they genuinely love and we\u2019re not chasing a trend or chasing a TikTok moment anymore. I feel like it\u2019s just genuine music that everybody\u2019s loving, so it feels good right now. The scene feels great.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
