Tracing HONNE’s Enchanting Path
Nearly ten years ago, the British global pop duo HONNE captivated hearts with their debut single, ‘Warm on a Cold Night.’ They instantly stood out with their distinctive blend of emotive lyrics, warm, intimate soundscapes, and modern production. Since then, with their debut album of the same name and a steady stream of releases, they’ve gifted us beloved tracks like ‘Location Unknown,’ ‘Day 1,’ and ‘no song without you.’ Amassing over 3 billion streams, they’ve solidified their place as global hitmakers and gifted singer-songwriters. Their incredible journey has seen them grace prestigious stages worldwide, from Glastonbury and Coachella to Summer Sonic. Their musical storytelling has only broadened through inspiring collaborations with artists such as RM (of BTS), Tom Misch, and Khalid.
“Warm on a Cold Night” holds a particularly special place in the hearts of Korean fans, having gained widespread affection through its feature in local commercials.

A Heartfelt Reimagination for Fans
The special project album, ‘HONNE — 10,’ is thoughtfully crafted around their most cherished songs from the past decade. Instead of elaborate soundscapes, the focus here is on the essence of the lyrics and emotions, presented through acoustic and minimal arrangements. This approach beautifully encapsulates HONNE’s signature honesty and warmth. This album promises to evoke cherished memories for long-time fans and offer a deeply emotional experience for new listeners discovering HONNE today.
Kicking off this journey is the newly reinterpreted ‘Warm on a Cold Night (10 Years)’ – the very song where HONNE’s entire narrative began. This track, originally a delicate and honest portrayal of the incredible feelings of falling in love, now carries an even richer warmth and a more mature atmosphere in its 10 Years version. HONNE shared, “We aimed to further amplify the jazzy, late-night vibe this song possesses,” adding that it evokes a natural image of “a scene playing out in a small underground bar in Seoul.”
Speaking about the 10th-anniversary project, HONNE expressed, “This is a work we’ve been preparing for a long time, eagerly awaiting the day to share it with our fans.” They continued, “Revisiting the songs from our early albums made us realize again why we started HONNE and how much these songs still mean to us.” They beautifully added, “‘HONNE — 10′ will be a token of our gratitude to our fans and a milestone reflecting on our roots.” This statement fills our hearts with even greater anticipation.
What’s Next for HONNE’s Decade of Music
HONNE‘s 10th-anniversary project will unfold with monthly digital single releases, culminating in the complete ‘HONNE — 10′ compilation album on May 15th. The first digital single, ‘Warm on a Cold Night (10 Years),’ is currently available across all major music streaming platforms for you to immerse yourself in.
This entire project feels like a precious gift, allowing us to revisit the heartfelt moments HONNE has given us over the years, deepened by their own reflection. It’s a true celebration of their authentic narrative and the beautiful connection they share with their audience.
