Abby-Lynn Keen

Abby-Lynn Keen (born 3 January 2004), known professionally as Absolutely, and also known as àB or Abby Keen, is a British singer-songwriter. Her debut album, Cerebrum, was released on 17 November 2023, followed by her second album, Paracosm, on 20 February 2026.

Early life Hailing from Tooting in South London, Keen was born to a Swiss-Ghanaian mother and a British father, musician/producer Paul Keen. Keen was born into a musical family and started making music around the age of 12-13. Her oldest sister, Rachel, has charted internationally under the pop alias Raye, and her other older sister, Lauren, is also a singer-songwriter known as Amma. Keen first went viral in her early teens with a series of lifestyle videos on social media. After several initial songwriting successes, Keen moved to Los Angeles.

Career

2019–present: First EPs, songwriting works, and Cerebrum In 2019, Keen independently-released a series of EPs under the alias àB. In 2023, after receiving her first songwriting hits for Nelson and Normani, Keen decided to rebrand to the name Absolutely coupled with the release of debut single "Higher". She also subsequently released debut major-label album Cerebrum, executive produced by Dave Hamelin, to acclaim in 2023. Standout single "MIA" was described by writer Steffanee Wang of art-fashion publication Nylon as "genuinely great", noting "a dash of rockish guitar, a bit of woozy soul, and a dose wobbly, discordant synths. There’s a strong melodic backbone that she adorns with her own quirks, scuzzying it up with contrasting textures while her silky voice flies free."

In 2025, Keen was announced to be performing at All Points East festival in London, alongside her sisters. Keen released single "I Just Don't Know You Yet" after teasers for the song went viral on video-sharing app TikTok. She was also announced as the opening act for the 2026 European dates of Reneé Rapp's Bite Me Tour and her sister Raye's This Tour May Contain New Music. On February 26, 2026, Keen released her second studio album Paracosm with production from Danja, Johan Lenox, Dave Hamelin, and Jahaan Sweet, among others.
