While the singer and songwriter has fashioned herself into a contemporary R&B artist comparable to the likes of Jhené Aiko and Tinashe, she has retained the charming, down-to-earth qualities she displayed with her band. A week after the latter was made available, major-label Atlantic announced its signing of Kehlani, one of the more promising artists of the mid-2010s.
When Kehlani was fronting the Oakland band Poplyfe during the sixth season of America’s Got Talent, judge Piers Morgan informed the young singer, “I don’t think you need the group.” Four years later, Kehlani had two independent solo releases to her credit: the eight-track Cloud19 (2014) and this album-length affair. She’s a mix of Chilli’s silky voice with Left Eye’s middle-finger attitude on kiss-offs like “How That Taste” or warnings like “Yet” and the minimal, clicking hi-hats of producer Jahaan Sweet find a cozy midpoint between the shuffle of classic Aaliyah and the jitter of contemporary trap rap.
On her second mixtape, she echews the reverb-y, soup-y haze of modern R&B in favor of the decidedly vintage idea of showing off your soaring pipes and occasionally breathy delivery. R&B enthusiast Kehlani Parrish began 2015 as an under-the-radar critical darling and ended it an iTunes smash, a major label signee and a Grammy nominee - not bad for someone who technically hasn’t released an album.
