Kwun – Ancient Ageless & True (2023)

Incorporating his spirituality and search for consciousness in his music, singer-songwriter Kwun is a pioneer in a new paradigm of music weaving personal and universal themes in his melodies. Hailing from the UK, Kwun has been described by Daniel Sadownick (percussionist and beat programmer for Taylor Swift and Norah Jones) as “a master at composing in many genres…”; as well as Grammy-winning producer Mark Prentice naming him “a brilliant writer and artist…extremely talented and endlessly creative”. Take his rave reviews from A&R Factory, Music News, Wonderland Magazine, Original Rock, and Mesmerized into account and you have a musical mastermind who is winning hearts across the globe. The latest addition to his repertoire is the single ‘Ancient Ageless & True’.

Following his debut single ‘Supernatural’, ‘Ancient Ageless & True’ is the second single from his upcoming album of the same name. Recorded and produced in collaboration with a stellar line-up of musicians from Nashville, as well as mixing by UK-based engineer Sam Wheat, ‘Ancient Ageless & True’ is a labour of love on an international scale. Inspired by The Eagles, the sophomore single adopts a strong folk sound with a slight folk-pop tinge sprinkled atop the melody. Unlike ‘Supernatural’, ‘Ancient Ageless & True’ has greater warmth in its rich, toe-tapping tune; however, as with ‘Supernatural’, a flair of innocent rawness slivers through the sophisticated maturity of the track.

While the warm melody embraces you in a big sonic hug, it is Kwun’s obscure vocals that add a distinctive edge to ‘Ancient Ageless & True’. Poetic and profound, Kwun presents an intimate connection in the thought-provoking lyricism. Finding the line between personal and universal, ‘Ancient Ageless & True’ has individuality in its message blurred within a “universal love song”. Sincere, sentimental and tender, Kwun captures honest vulnerability in his beautiful new single.
