“One Time” is a nostalgic nod to the vibrant noughties era—a seductive, playful track brimming with cheeky innuendos that proudly heralds Kadeem Tyrell’s return. The song emerged from a transformative journey to the U.S., where Kadeem performed at SXSW on the ‘BBC Introducing’ stage alongside some of the UK’s most celebrated talents.

During a month-long stay in America, Kadeem immersed himself in collaborations with artists and producers who reignited his creativity. “One Time” encapsulates the energy and inspiration of that pivotal time, seamlessly blending nostalgic R&B tones with a vibrant, modern edge.

Over the years, Kadeem has honed an immersive, feel-good sound deeply rooted in authenticity and the foundations of R&B. Unafraid to defy convention, he fuses elements of neo-soul, garage, house, Pop, and beyond, crafting a style and sound uniquely his own.
