    • Kelela on Bleep | Bleep
      • Throughout her globally revered, boundary-pushing career, Kelela has established a lane of her own in R&B and electronic music. On her long-awaited third album, new avatar, the singer/songwriter (through the versatility of the guitar) challenges perceptions of these genres, while weaving together fragments of lived experiences to shape a world of connection and resilience during times of unrest. The songs journey through Black femme rage, joy as resistance, Gotham City-esque dystopia, misogynoir, romantic tension, and more. It’s anchored by production that demands a broader rethink about alternative, rock and indie music. Kelela’s defiant nature has propelled her so far already — from her hometown of Washington, D.C to world stages. In 2013, she released her debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me. She continued solidifying her revolutionary R&B sound with 2015’s Hallucinogen EP, with The New York Times naming its single, “Rewind,” one of the “25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going”.

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
