{"product_id":"se9_part_1_2","title":"SE9 Part 1 \u0026 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eSE9 Part 1 \u0026amp; 2 is a combined two-part project by South London singer-songwriter Skye Newman, released on Columbia Records. The title draws from the postcode of Newman's childhood home in Southeast London — the SE9 area covering Eltham, Mottingham, and New Eltham in the Royal Borough of Greenwich — framing the entire project as a deeply autobiographical portrait of place and personal history. Part 1 arrived in October 2025 as a six-track EP, breaking Newman into the UK Top 20 and earning a BPI Silver certification, while Part 2 followed in May 2026 — by which point Newman had already received two BRIT Award nominations and won the BBC Sound of 2026. The combined edition brings both halves together on a single limited-edition vinyl release, with exclusive bonus tracks including \"Blood\" and an acoustic version of \"Too Far South.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the fourteen tracks, Newman processes her teenage years and early adulthood through vocals that critics have consistently compared to Adele in their emotional directness and power. Part 1 tells \"stories I had experienced throughout my teenage and childhood years,\" moving through bad relationships (\"FU \u0026amp; UF\"), close friendships (\"Hairdresser\"), and the trauma of her upbringing (\"Family Matters\"), while Part 2 pivots toward resilience and self-determination — songs like \"Woman I Am\" and \"Walk\" signal a deliberate turn toward chosen family and hard-won independence. As Newman has put it, Part 2 is about \"choosing yourself,\" and the arc of the combined project traces a convincing journey from vulnerability and survival to something approaching strength, making SE9 Part 1 \u0026amp; 2 one of the more complete and emotionally coherent debut statements in recent British R\u0026amp;B and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53629743923514,"sku":"38534","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-19_at_1.46.48_PM.jpeg?v=1781891328","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/se9_part_1_2","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
