Kelela - Raven (album) + Washed Away (1 Viewer)

Oh my God :disco: I was listening to Take Me Apart just yesterday funnily enough, what an album and what a woman!
 
out now




!!!

(this is the album intro BTW, bangers incoming)
 
That’s nice I guess, but I’m ready for the supposed bangers
 
Good move to reintroduce herself like this - something slow moving, beautiful and visually captivating. I hope we're not waiting too long for the album tho' - this year, please. I don't know what else Warp have on apart from a Bibio LP.
 
Having a KELELA COMMUTE this morning and my god, Truth Or Dare really is one of the most sensual songs of all time...

Here comes another
Dare you to GO UNDER :disco: :horny:
 
This is more like it for me. I’m not obsessed but I’m more excited for the album
 
Love this! Did the album ever come out or is it still #comingsoon?
 
Contact is good. everything is good. but like... where are the hooks? everything's a vibe musically, but can we have something as well written as Frontline or Bluff? it's all blurring.
 
what a great effort. my favourite is on the run.

what a understated banger. am i the only one who hears a ton of the sugababes in the vocals?
 
the album is waaaaay too ambient downtempo for me. a lot of it sounds like the album cover looks - drowning in a black void, and not in the fun Lana Del Rey way. I think I'm taking Enough For Love and not much else.
 
The album was indeed TOO downtempo as much as I love a bit of downtempo.

“Contact”, in isolation, remains amazing however.
 
Oh I LOVE this album, I've had it on repeat since it came out. It's just so luscious and very much a whole-listen through mood piece. I can hardly tell where one track starts and another ends.

Take Me Apart and Raven is an astonishing duel-punch of albums IMO.
 
It’s the album of the year for me and is her second 5 star masterpiece alongside Take Me Apart of course. The whole album is such a dramatic evocative and immersive experience.

Closure is absolutely my song of the year too.
 
I didn't take to the album at first. I felt like I understood what she was going for but it didn't quite click...until I popped it on a few weeks ago and realised that it's a winter album. A bit of dark and cold and the record makes perfect sense.

Hit the nail on the head! Plus the watery theme is great too, the whole record makes you feel a bit submerged (if that makes sense)
