Absolutely Releases New Song “No Audience”
Los Angeles-based British singer-songwriter Abby-Lynn Keen, aka Absolutely will release her upcoming sophomore album “Paracosm” in 2026.
The album is her first body of work in three years since the 2023 debut album “CEREBRUM”.
From the album, she released a new song “No Audience” on November 21, 2025.
The track received its first play during BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Sian Eleri.
The song is the third single off, following “I Just Don't Know You Yet” and “Goodbye Glitter”.
It was written by Abby-Lynn Keen, Brittany Marie Amaradio, and Floyd Nathaniel Hills. Produced by Danja.
Absolutely said of the song in a statement, “For me, 'No Audience' is about freeing myself from being performative or attempting to be somebody other than my authentic self just for the sake of being liked, accepted, or understood. There's a metaphor of standing in a theater with no one watching - I can just dance without caring.”- Absolutely told Sian Eleri about the song, “This was one of the last songs I made for the album. And I was in the studio with a producer called Danja. And he pulled up this beautiful string loop. And I went in the booth and I layered my voice on it and I feel like that really like created the landscape for the song. The song is about, kind of freeing myself from the perception of others. And I feel like during the process of me creating my second album. I kind of got stuck for a moment. I wasn't able to write music, and I was trying to figure out what was going wrong. And I came to the conclusion that I was thinking too much about how people would perceive the music. And I forgot about my first love of music and how I fell in love with music because I was just making it for myself. It was like my therapy and my outlet.”

Absolutely said of the album title, “I honestly just figured out what this word meant. A couple months ago, somebody commented on my youtube. Like she is my Paracosm or something. And I was like, 'Wait, what I that?' I searched up what it meant, and it means fictional characters, places, worlds that you create as a child that carry on through your adulthood. And I feel like a lot of this album was me, like reintegrating with my childlike wonder and my childlike imagination.”
