The closing night of kwn’s with all due respect tour was a perfect celebration of tthe monstrous year the R&B songstress has had. Having witnessed her take the stage at the top of the year, where she opened for Kehlani as part of Crash World Tour, to closing out her debut headline show, which sold out instantly. It was a moment to witness as she embraced the love from her hometown show, ending the tour on a high note.
The energy at The Outernet was electric, with fans eagerly awaiting her arrival. When she appeared shortly after 9:30 to her EP intro ‘bite me,' the crowd erupted in cheers, singing along passionately to fan favourites from the EP and her previous material. The crowd's enthusiastic participation, singing word-for-word and dancing along, vividly conveyed the strong support and created an immersive atmosphere for readers.
The significance of this moment for kwn is not lost on her at all who before performing the emotionally charged “Lord Outside” reflected on the events over the last year and getting to this point in her journey. “this time last year I was selling Worst Behaviour for £1.99, I was on working at Amazon, I was working at a restaurant with my dad, I thought it was all going to shit I can’t lie but i never gave up and I figured at some point it was going to get better and it did it” For anyone who has been on the journey since wn way or another will know that the graft has been real and efforts and hard work it was taken to be on that stage is one that a real moment for her.
Considering it was the final show of the tour, there was no way she was not going to bring out a guest. Having brought out Scribz Riley at the show before, there were several options from Jordan Adetunji, FLO, and maybe even a secret Kehlani-in-London situation. And even though there was no Kehlani appearance, she did invite a fan onstage to join her as she performed “Clothes Off”. However, the crowd was treated to the appearance of girl group FLO, who joined her for their collaboration “talk you through it”, which delivered the energy on stage and was a standout moment of the show.
“I’m so grateful for every single person in this room, thank you so much for everything, I really appreciate it”, she shared towards the end of the show before closing out her debut headline tour. This is, no doubt, just one of my significant moments with her, as she will continue to rise from here on if this show and this past year are anything to go by.
