Ahead of the release of her forthcoming EP for me for you x, out October 9 via Northside Records, Naarm-based Kee’ahn (she/they/nyulu) has announced a headline tour with shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville, and Melbourne. The announcement comes alongside the release of her stirring new single ‘At Least For Now’.

Written in the aftermath of heartbreak, ‘At Least For Now’ finds Kee’ahn reflecting on the tension between holding onto love and learning to let go.  “I wrote this one about a breakup. I felt unheard, like the love I had to give wasn’t being received. I wanted to fast forward through the pain and arrive at healing, but it takes time. The love I felt is still strong within me. I just need to honour it in memory, in what I give to others, and in how I nurture myself,” Kee’ahn shares.

The song draws inspiration from Lauryn Hill’s MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 (2002). Kee’ahn shares, “It’s one of my all-time favourite albums, and it really helped me through the breakup. The song ‘I Gotta Find Peace of Mind’, inspired the ending of ‘At Least For Now’, a reminder that I can embody and practice love for myself and be my own peace.”

The song also marks a new chapter in Kee’ahn’s creative process, as she experimented with self-production for the first time, recording layered harmonies late at night in her bedroom. To bring the final version to life, she collaborated with Jake Amy (keys), Anthony Liddell (bass/production), Sensible J (drums/percussion), and Elle Shimada (strings).

“Jake’s ability to make things sound magical through their keys playing is something special. Anthony can make any song sound full and hit deep in your heart with his bass and production and Elle’s strings lifted it all. Together they helped shape the story of heartbreak transforming into love for self,” Kee’ahn explains.

‘At Least For Now’ follows Kee’ahn’s vibrant single ‘Love You More’ (2023), which signalled a shift toward a more groove-driven neo-soul sound. Kee’ahn’s previous releases, including recent singles ‘Heavy’ and ‘This Is Not the End’, have earned widespread support from triple j, Double J and national community radio, as well as features from Acclaim, Women In Pop, and The Music.

Kee’ahn, whose name is derived from kee’an, the Wik word meaning to dance and to play, is a proud Yalanji, Jirrbal, and Badulaig artist. Her music is steeped in connection to culture, community, Country, and self. Her soulful voice and storytelling has had a powerful impact on the Australian music scene, earning her the Archie Roach Foundation Award and Music Victoria’s Best Emerging Artist award. She has since collaborated with Baker Boy, Emma Donovan, Dallas Woods, Alice Ivy and shared stages with the likes of Julia Jacklin, Hiatus Kaiyote, Greentea Peng and Angie McMahon.

The upcoming 5-track EP will be released on vinyl through Northside Records on October 9. Tickets for Kee’ahn’s headline tour, including dates in Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville and Melbourne, are on sale now.
