Kelela - 'Raven'

ALBUM OF THE YEAR :jonny3:

 

my ranking a month later:

Contact > Sorbet > Raven/Bruises > On The Run > Enough For Love > Washed Away > Closure > Divorce > Missed Call > Happy Ending > Let It Go > Far Away > Fooley > Holier

 

Missed Call is a smash hit waiting to happen, it reminds me of Cardi's I Like It in a way

I listened to this album for the first time a few weeks back and it was such a disappointment compared to her debut, which is a masterpiece. However, I listened to it again in a different environment and was also under the influence of marijuana*, and this finally CLICKED. Kelela seriously doesn’t miss :giraffe: It’s so meditative and atmospheric; very elegant, avant-garde electronic music at its finest! :wanda:I felt like I was in a different dimension while listening to it.

I think this is my favorite release of hers but I had to stop listening to it because Closure had me texting an ex lover of mine begging to be loved only to be left on read

every time I listen to raven-bruises that transition is flawless. she truly topped this game because I can't recall seeing something like this before.

That transition is so good that I never play Raven and Bruises separate anymore. They're like a single song for me.

I’d be surprised if it were soon. Maybe early next year.

I hope it goes otherwise since the album was ready in 2021 she had 2022 to work on it, but knowing her... it's very unlikely.

i cant stop coming back to this album. immaculate production, so subtle yet embracing. i fear she made a classic :gaygacat6:

Haven’t listened in a bit let me give her another whirl, I feel like everytime I listen a new song stands out to me

Contact has to be one of the best singles released this year so far. It's def sitting comfortably inside my top 10. :jonnycat:

I overplayed the singles but I sense now is time to start spamming the slower bass-y tracks

 

And this still has not been topped this year
