Kelela’s next chapter, ‘Raven’, promises a sonically beautifuland lustrous experience. On ‘Raven’, Kelela emerges from thetides of her higher self’s oceanic orbit to explore autonomy,belonging and self-renewal as healing across the fifteen-trackLP.

 ‘Washed Away’ and ‘Happy Ending’ have already both beenregaled with critical acclaim: Pitchfork called ‘Washed Away’ a“showcase for her swooping soprano,” and ‘Happy Ending’ alsodemonstrative of her “breathy, decorous vocals.”

 “I started this process from the feeling of isolation and alienationI’ve always had as a black femme in dance music, despite itsblack origins. ‘Raven’ is my first breath taken in the dark, anaffirmation of black femme perspective in the midst of systemicerasure and the sound of our vulnerability turned to power,”says Kelela about the project.

 Skilfully straddling the frequencies of R&B and dance music,Kelela has established herself as an artistic interpolator ofmusic, art and fashion. Her early works, ‘Cut 4 Me’ (2013) and‘Hallucinogen’ (2015), were momentous examples of hersingular spirit, and cemented her artistry as a leading force inthe alternative, underground R&B and electronic worlds. Shehas since collaborated with fellow visionary artists like Solange,Gorillaz, Andrew Thomas Huang and Danny Brown.

 Thoughtfully intermixing elegance, futurism, divinity andsensuality, Kelela’s unique perspective has carved a lane thatdemonstrates style as both a component of art, and art in and ofitself.
