Kelela – ‘RAVE:N, The Remixes’ (Stream)
Since the end of last year, fans worldwide have been enthralled in excitement for the highly anticipated, “RAVE:N, The Remixes” album. Known for her exquisite decorum and musicality, Kelela thrives in every body of work she releases. The long-awaited release of the original RAVEN album ushered in a new era of Kelela, an expertly crafted body of work that served as a palate cleanser for critics and fans alike. Kelela began teasing remixes in October, intuitively adding another piece to the RAVEN tapestry and firmly establishing her place as a force to be reckoned with in the dance electronic space. From A.G’s drill rework of Happy Ending to the sexy amapiano remix of Contact by Karen Nyame KG, each were paired with otherworldly vignettes adding another dimension to her visual language.
“These remix projects are not only about the joy and catharsis I get from flipping and rearranging — they’re also about highlighting the brilliant work of artists who I’m inspired by in dance music. I had so much fun curating, editing and recording the 20 tracks on this project with my partner-in-crime Asmara and I’m so proud of the range of sounds and dance music traditions represented. I can’t wait for people to experience each remix in the holy trinity of intimate space — their bedrooms, cars and in the club. a gift to all my kelelians 🖤👽” – Kelela
Kelela returns on this remix project with a plethora of familiar collaborators who are on the frontlines of the underground renaissance permeating pop culture. From old friends to dream collaborators, Kelela teams up with artists such as LSDXOXO, Yaeji, Shygirl, BAMBII, Liv.e, Asmara, Ms. Carrie Stacks and more. This eclectic masterpiece illustrates the breadth and depth of Kelela’s reach as well as the profound presence of Black and Brown artists and producers in dance music. The album is a testament to her creativity and overall musical spirit, straight from Kelela’s mind into our hearts.
