"This album finds solace in confronting. I don't want the music to be a distraction from what's really going on in the world; I want it to make sense in this crazy moment while helping people get in touch with the beauty and joy they're also experiencing."
"The latest single, produced by Oscar Scheller, began as a mantra Kelela wrote to pull herself out of writer's block and is about confidence earned through difficulty, about refusing to shrink."
"Over a winding guitar riff and brisk drums, Kelela sings, 'It's not hard to be brave/ Easier to give too much away/ All I know is that I paved the way, underpaid.'"
Kelela's upcoming album, new avatar, is set for release on July 10th via Warp Records. The album is described as a culmination of her musical journey, blending R&B with distorted guitar influences. The second single, 'linknb,' addresses themes of confidence and resilience, emerging from Kelela's personal experiences. The song features a dynamic guitar riff and brisk drums, showcasing her unique style. Kelela aims for her music to resonate with listeners amidst current global challenges, emphasizing beauty and joy in difficult times.
