Kehlani feels like their longevity in R&B often gets “overlooked.” On Friday (Dec.12), the “Nights Like This” artist spoke with Rolling Stone about how long they’ve been in the genre not always being recognized.
Earlier in the conversation Kehlani shared that they were “motivated to rewrite” their story with their forthcoming fifth studio album, which is set to arrive in the spring. When asked what they wanted to rewrite, the Oakland native explained, “I contributed a lot to R&B in the last decade, and I feel like that’s overlooked.”
“Folded” became Kehlani’s frist Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, marking a major career milestone. This success is fueling their desire to re-establish their narrative within the R&B landscape.
Their forthcoming album may feature contributions from Ne-Yo, Tank and Jermaine Dupri, signaling a new chapter in their sound. This potential collaboration with R&B veterans suggests a intentional effort to connect with the genre’s roots while forging a new path.
