Raven: Vinyl 2LP

Kelela's latest offering, RAVEN, is a musical gem that promises a sonically stunning and radiant experience. Across this fifteen - track LP, Kelela delves into themes of autonomy, belonging, and self - renewal as a form of healing. Already, 'Washed Away' and 'Happy Ending' have won critical acclaim. Pitchfork described 'Washed Away' as a 'display of her soaring soprano,' and 'Happy Ending' showcases her 'breathy, refined vocals.' Kelela says RAVEN is her first step in the dark, an affirmation of the black femme perspective amidst systemic erasure, turning vulnerability into power. Kelela skillfully blends R&B and dance music frequencies. Her earlier works like Cut 4 Me (2013) and Hallucinogen (2015) solidified her as a leading force in alternative, underground R&B and electronic music. She has collaborated with renowned artists such as Solange, Gorillaz, Andrew Thomas Huang, and Danny Brown. Kelela's unique blend of elegance, futurism, naivety, and sensuality creates a distinct style that is both art and a part of art.
