Exploring the sonic spectrum between funk, soul, and jazz, North West London singer, songwriter, and producer Lynda Dawn reveals her new EP “11th Hour”, released today via her own First Dawn Records imprint.

Reflecting on the EP, Dawn shares: "11th Hour is a deeply personal project to me, reflecting my growth both musically and spiritually. It explores love, hope, and introspection, with each track telling a story. I wrote and produced on all the songs, staying true to my musical roots while evolving my sound. This record is about embracing the tension between past and future, and serves as a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams—even in the 11th Hour."

The EP includes the current single "11th Hour," an empowering exploration of time, longing, nostalgia, and hope. Co-produced by Lynda Dawn and JACKUM, you can watch the Ricky Rxse-directed video below. It follows her funk-laden previous single, "Where You Are”.

Dawn's songs weave captivating grooves with celestial vocals, reflecting the crackling sounds of her parents' record collections. She attributes her upbringing in the Pentecostal church as her spiritual education in funk and gospel expression. Her breakout single “Move” was first featured on Giles Peterson’s 13th “Brownswood Bubblers” compilation, introducing her as a “one to watch.” Teaming up with frequent collaborator Al Dobson Jr., she debuted her eagerly anticipated EP, “At First Light,” via Mndsgn’s Los Angeles label, Akashik Records, acclaimed by the likes of Clash, The Guardian, NME, ELLE UK, and more. Dawn’s music has collectively amassed over 10 million streams across streaming platforms, and she is poised to continue her rise as one of the UK's most promising emerging voices in contemporary soul.
