2x GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani celebrates her birthday by releasing her highly anticipated self-titled fifth studio album, KEHLANI. This landmark project marks her most personal and revealing work to date, capturing the full spectrum of her artistry through soul-baring storytelling and a lush, genre-bending sound.
A Breakthrough Year and Monumental Singles
A string of standout singles fueled the album’s momentum, beginning with “Folded.” The track has become a defining R&B anthem of the decade, earning Kehlani two GRAMMY® Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance, as well as an iHeartRadio Music Award and multiple nominations from the NAACP Image Awards and American Music Awards. “Folded” has surpassed 800 million global streams, spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at #6), and dominated Urban, Rhythmic, and R&B radio charts.
The song’s reach extended further with the “Folded Homage Pack,” featuring reinterpretations by R&B legends Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank. Kehlani’s live performance of “Folded” on Amazon’s “In The Paint” during NBA Nightcap further cemented its cultural impact.
Following “Folded,” Kehlani released “Out The Window,” which showcased her signature vulnerability, and “Back and Forth,” a dynamic collaboration with Missy Elliott, which served as the final teaser before the album’s full release.
