Kehlani Drops New Song ‘Altar’

Just after publishing her new album Blue Water Road, Kehlani, 26, sings from the depths of her heart in ‘Altar’ on September 15, 2021. Produced by Pop Wansel and directed by Kid Studio, starring Diovanna LaBeija alongside Kehlani in a polished and electric single — this heartfelt track pays tribute to loved ones who have gone to the next life. Kehlani wrote her dedication on twitter “To all those I have lost, all the angels I have gained, all those that walk with me with hands cracking my chest open, this is for you, I love you! Thank you.” Kehlani, who had lost friends and significant people in her life is the reason why this song came to life. ‘Altar’ was released on all digital streaming platforms, along with an accompanying video. Here, Kehlani finds healing and strength in the “angels” she’s gained, and you can almost see the emotions displayed. ‘Altar’ is a fainting mix of pop-R&B that shows Kehlani serenading over a drum stick, fused with sparkling, swaying synthesizer and guitars. “So, I put you on the altar. Stay just a little bit longer. Laid it out for ya. Thought I felt you before. Now you’re closer,” she sings. Kehlani performed at Governors Ball on September 24, 2021 in New York City and showed support to Justin Bieber on October 7 at the Vegas Weekender Experience and headlined the Outside Lands Festival on October 31 in San Francisco. With regards to the upcoming album Blue Water Road, which does not yet have an official release date, she stated “I only want to make things that mean something to me completely void of algorithms or strategy approaching my 6th project, I’m not chasing anything but joy with this s**t. f**k a box I love y’all for the way you love me!! DOING WHAT I WANNA HOW I WANNA!
