R&B artist Kehlani released their self-titled fifth studio album on April 24 via Atlantic Records, following last month's announcement that aligned with their 31st birthday. Building on recent hits like 'Frozen' and the Grammy-winning 'Folded,' the project features Lil Wayne, Pusha T, Cardi B, Brandy, Usher, and more.
Marking Kehlani's fifth full-length project after four mixtapes spanning 17 years—and directly following 2024's Crash and 2022's Blue Water Road—the album returns to old-school R&B roots, known for hits like 'Nights Like This,' 'Toxic,' and 'After Hours.'
Last summer's 'Frozen' amassed over 800 million global streams, spawning remixes with Toni Braxton, JoJo, Mario, and Ne-Yo.
The album opens with 'Another Luva' featuring Lil Wayne, evoking mid-2000s vibes, and includes 'No Such Thing' with Pusha T and Malice of Clipse. Standouts feature Brandy, Usher, Missy Elliott, Lil Jon, T-Pain, Big Sean, and Cardi B on 'Pocket.' Tracks like 'I Need You,' 'Back and Forth,' 'Out The Window,' 'Ooh,' and 'Unlearn' delve into love, heartbreak, vulnerability, and growth—themes previewed in the announcement's press statement.
Atlantic Records confirmed the release proceeded as scheduled on April 24.
