It was clear that D?WN and Brooklyn producer Kingdom had chemistry when they released their collaborative, smoldering single “Honest” last week. Now there’s four full tracks showcasing their dark sensuality, as FADER just premiered D?WN and Kingdom’s Infrared EP.

This set finds the two connecting through their signature styles: D?WN with her emotive voice and lyrical dramatics, and Kingdom with his sparse, nocturnal soundscape.

“From first meet, I knew D?WN and I could create some great thing together,” Kingdom told FADER. “She instantly gravitated towards these four productions… Working with the Fade To Mind team [Kingdom’s label], it seemed like she felt safe bringing out her more vulnerable emotional side, with the productions creating space for that as well.”
