In 2017, Kelela's debut album, Take Me Apart, accelerated her inevitable rise to mainstream acclaim in both pop and underground culture. In the years prior, Cut 4 Me (2013) and Hallucinogen (2015) — among her other remix projects and features — cemented her artistry as a leading force in the alternative, underground R&B world. With a personal style as visually kaleidoscopic as her genre-wielding music, Kelela has established herself as a vanguard of sonic and aesthetic innovation. Thoughtfully intermixing elegance, futurism, divinity and sensuality, Kelela's unique perspective has carved a lane that demonstrates style as both a component of art, and art in and of itself.
Kelela's long-awaited sequel to her debut album drops early 2023. The album is preceded by singles "Washed Away" "Happy Ending" and "On The Run," and is slated for release February 10th.
