Her fans were eager for a new record after Kelela’s five year hiatus, and the singer says she wanted to create music that they could instantly connect with. While the tracks dive into ideas of “pushing back against male stoicism and emotional stuntedness,” or “anti Blackness and white complacency,” Kelela wanted the songs to have a softness and vulnerable spirit to them. She felt a dance record was the right way to delve into these topics. “This album is for those who connect with these ideas, but don’t want to harden,” says Kelela. “I love making club music, but I always want you to be able to go home and discover a depth that’s productive and healing when you’re listening in solitude.”
