American singer Kelela released her second album, Raven, back in February to much critical acclaim. She first burst onto the music scene with 2017’s Take Me Apart (with hits such as “LMK” and “Frontline”), but the star’s much anticipated follow up record sees her experimenting with a whole new sound. The album blends different influences to create a unique lineup of tracks that are meditative, dance worthy, yet lyrically poignant and emotional, too. “Sonically, it surveys several different facets of Black dance music that aren’t usually presented alongside each other, but that I’ve always seen as related like digital jungle and dancehall music, techno, and house,” Kelela tells Vogue. “I show these connections by mixing the songs into one another, as if they were being DJ’ed. Baptismal water sounds also aid transitions for a full on immersive experience.”
