Album Review for Kehlani by Kehlani

Respectfully, we’ve reached a point where we need to have a conversation about her music. Yes, the album is soulful (in some cases), yes the album has some interesting features, but overall the album is really missing one thing and it’s glaring. Creativity!

This album, from a production standpoint, is bland and lacks true varied sound quality. Out of 17 tracks more than half the album sounds virtually the same in either the beat, the cadence, vocally, or in song structure. It feels like one long ass run-on sentence and that’s very unfortunate considering how well versed Kehlani actually is. Majority of the features didn’t help because you have more of an upbeat sound and a bunch of rappers trying to match methodical vocals on a single track.

Now it’s not all bad. Lyrically she’s really touching on some new feelings of joy so it’s not all doom and gloom and you can hear the growth in her music. She’s not the same woman she once was and that allows her music to have a different tone and perspective on what happening to and around her. Leon Thomas adds a pretty nice feature, as does Brandy but honestly the album just feels stuck in a place of redundancy.

People who are fans of her will tell you that you’re wrong for not liking this and I’m gonna be honest, they’re tripping. Using known sample flips and having bland music is crazy, but that’s where we are with this.

Final Score: 3.5/10

She need to have Brandy go back in on I Need You and finish those backgrounds and give us a better dramatic bridge! Brandy can take that song up a notch!! 🤞🏾

THREAD: How Brandy’s Two Eleven is basically a goldmine of some the best bridges she’s ever done and dare I say in modern R&B.

In no specific order

The whole something to give each other album is INSANELY underrated

[ashley @rosesofpoison]

idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.

My hottest take is that all Christmas music that needs to be created has been created already. We don’t need anymore.

everyone in new york is so fucked up because they don't drive and can't sing in their car to stimulate their vagus nerve

[The Big Me @reMARQable_]

I really want Brandy to do a solo tour. I deserve to hear my Two Eleven and Human faves.

[HEATED🔥🇯🇲 @4everRnbGenius]

Brandy was in her Birkin.

ALSO. Y’all slept in TWO ELEVEN horribly!
