In an era where overproduction often overshadows raw creativity, independent artist Keoni Usi strips it all back with a bold new project—conceived, recorded, and finalized in just three days. Locked in a room with close friends, minimal gear, and an unshakable vision, Keoni transformed an idea into reality, embracing a fully homemade, DIY approach. With every sound, lyric, and detail shaped on an independent artist’s budget, this project is a testament to what can be achieved with pure passion and creative synergy.
After eight months of anticipation and hard work, singer-songwriter Keoni Usi has officially released his highly awaited album, 7min. This project marks a pivotal moment in Usi’s career, highlighting his artistic growth through introspective lyrics, immersive storytelling, and a dynamic blend of sounds.
The album features eight tracks—“LOVING U,” “stevie wonder,” “convenience,” “TRUMAN SHOW,” “dads old accord,” “pretty penny,” “D.A.T.T,” and “7 minutes”. Each song explores themes of love, longing, self-reflection, and personal struggles, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into Usi’s emotions and experiences.
With 7min, Usi showcases his ability to translate raw feelings into music that resonates. From the warmth of “LOVING U,” which captures the comfort of deep connection, to the haunting introspection of “7 minutes,” which reflects on the passage of time, the album takes listeners on a deeply emotional journey. His lyrical vulnerability and evocative soundscapes create an experience that is both personal and universally relatable.
Preceded by nine singles, 7min is a culmination of Usi’s evolution as an artist, blending alternative, R&B, and indie influences into a cohesive, heartfelt body of work. The album is now available on all major streaming platforms.
