Greetings out there in UGDLand! We’re thrilled to share with you the new single "WALK WITH ME" from singer-songwriter and producer, also known as the "gumbo music architect", KEITHIAN. The head-bopping infectious new single will be globally released on all streaming/download platforms this Friday, August 29th, via the SRG-ILS Group (Virgin Music/Universal Music Group) imprint.

“Walk With Me” is the lead single from Keithian’s upcoming "HUMAN | SINNER" LP. It’s a fun, emotional rollercoaster that captures the frustration of loving someone who won’t let you in. It’s equal parts vulnerable and confrontational, layered in dreamy vocals, sensual tension, and honest lyrics that speak to the emotional limbo between desire and detachment.

This track finds Keithian pulling back the curtain on modern love where one person is all-in, and the other is still haunted by their past. With lines like “I try to put off these feelings for the truth, but you won’t acknowledge that it’s up to you,” he offers both an invitation and a challenge. The message is clear: If you feel this, choose it. If not, stop pretending you don’t.

“I wrote ‘Walk With Me’ from a space where I felt emotionally ready; but the girl I wanted wasn’t. I didn’t want to beg for love, but I did want clarity. This song is my way of saying: I’m here, I’m honest, and if this is real, then it’s on you to show up too. I’m done making excuses for people who aren’t ready. And it’s greater than just in a romantic relationship, it also demands how to be treated by friends, family, loved ones, and colleagues." – Keithian

“Walk With Me” opens HUMAN | SINNER LP with an intimate invitation into Keithian’s world. The album unpacks the grief of losing his brother, the push-and-pull between love and self-protection in past relationships, and the battles with desire and self-doubt. Through it all, Keithian delivers the raw, cinematic storytelling that defines his artistry. His self-described “Gumbo Music” blends R&B, Pop, Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, and his Southern roots into a sound that feels both timeless and entirely his own.

“Ultimately, I want my music to be known for good vibes, humility, inspiration, and truth,” he said. “My soul is a gumbo of music, just like the world we live in. And since I make music for the people, and there’s people of all kinds of tastes & stories, I’ll let them choose what message they receive from me.”

On October 24th, Keithian, will be releasing his forthcoming anticipated LP, "Human | Sinner", the ten-song LP will be released under his new label partnership with the SRG-ILS Group/Virgin Music/Universal Music Group.

ABOUT KEITHIAN:

Born into the vibrant culture of New Orleans and raised in Longview, Texas, Keithian built his foundation in jazz before carving out his own lane as a genre-blending artist. His early path included performing in a children’s gospel group, a jazz quartet, and a boy band before stepping out as a solo act.

Beyond the stage, Keithian honed his craft as a writer and producer for artists, brands, and film/TV projects, while also serving as a music director on tour. In 2019, he officially launched his solo career with the emotionally charged To My Pain EP, followed by 2022’s Green Clouds EP featuring the breakout single “Chance?”—a record that climbed the R&B radio charts.

Most recently, Keithian released his Missing Out EP after joining R&B star Vedo on the sold-out Mood Swings North American tour. With his smooth vocals, vulnerable storytelling, and a sound he calls “Gumbo Music”—a fusion of R&B, pop, jazz, hip-hop, and soul—Keithian is building a timeless catalog that reflects both his roots and his fearless creativity.

Later this October, KEITHIAN releases his new LP, "HUMAN | SINNER" led by the singles, "Walk With Me". followed by "Fight Back" and "Never Be The Same". The anticipated LP will be released via Keithian's new label partnership with the SRG-ILS Group/Virgin Music label imprint.
