GEN F: Absolutely’s stirring pop fantasy

Just like her name, the British singer-songwriter’s music is boundless and larger than life.

She is the latest artist to star in The FADER's Gen F series where we profile the emerging artists you need to know right now.
It’s been quite the year for Abby-Lynn Keen.
When I catch the 22-year-old musician over a video call in early June, she’s three weeks from embarking on a four-month global tour with her big sisters, RAYE and Amma. After that, she’ll open for pop star-slash-actor Reneé Rapp in Europe. But those two things don’t top the real main event of 2026 so far: three weeks ago, fellow artist and her now-fiancé Noah Urrea proposed to her at a surprise party with all of her friends and family present.

“I want to be so involved, with my wedding dress and Noah’s suit,” she gushes from her Los Angeles apartment, sharing that she’s already started planning the wedding. “I can’t wait.”
The British alt-pop musician is in the midst of a rigorous R&R itinerary. She’s been basking in the L.A. sun, catching up on quality time with Urrea, and no, she has not been tuning into the reality TV slop of any of the Love Island franchises. “I used to love watching Love Island, but it became unhealthy,” she remarks, her fiery red locs adorned with jet black stripes framing her face. “I had to cut it cold turkey.”

Rest won’t be on the calendar for much longer, but the South West Londoner is no stranger to the hustle and grind. She launched her music career under the moniker Absolutely in 2023 with the release of “Higher,” a genre-bending pop track that introduced her as an intergalactic astronaut. By 2025, her experimental soundscape had catapulted to virality: her single “I Just Don’t Know You Yet,” a shadowy pop ballad that croons about faith and the uncertainty of romance, exploded with millions of views on TikTok before it officially dropped.
