Kehlani’s ‘SweetSexySavage’ Is A Refreshing Take On 90s R&B & We’re Obsessed
The Cali singer has ditched her girl group past for a more experimental R&B vibe.
Megan DowningCrazy how I feel the most warm when it's cold
Drops hit the window and I drop down to the floor
I assume this is when I would miss you the most
I'm lying down
I've got this notepad where you laid your head
We use to go round and round
Making love in my bed
We were in so deep
We could barely tread
But now I found a way to heal myself instead
And damn I feel alive
Baby, damn I feel alive
It's like something has to die
To help you realize
Damn I feel alive
We were in a weird place
Crazy how a person you love could just change
Now I am learning to realize we needed our space
I could never hurt you, we use to be great
And you use to say, what goes around comes around so fast
Now just look at the way
I'm moving on and you stuck in the past
I deserve a love that is gonna last
But until then I will just raise this glass
And damn I feel alive
Baby, damn I feel alive
It's like something has to die
To help you realize
Damn I feel alive
I feel, I feel
Turn this song up if you feel alive
I feel, you feel
Let it all go cause right now's the time
Let go, live on
So you can be free, yeah free to fly
I know it's hard but it's worth it
For those of you that are yet to discover Kehlani Parrish’s solo music, you might remember her from the 2011 series of America’s Got Talent, where she came fourth in the competition.
In our eyes leaving her band PopLyfe has done wonders for Kehlani’s creativity and her debut album SweetSexySavage, out today (27th January 2017), is a glowing example of why she’s definitely cut out for the solo life.
SweetSexySavage is the follow up to her Grammy-nominated You Should Be Here mixtape and is a debut that grounds itself in the glory days of 90s R&B while reaching out and connecting with the listener through the album’s theme. You only have to listen to the album’s spoken word intro ‘Keep On’ to know that this album is going to be personal, and very relatable.
If you’re craving the simpler days of 90s-00s R&B in this crazy world we live in, and your playlist of all the old bangers is bringing you too much nostalgia, this record lives and breathes the same era yet has a distinctive 2017 edge. It’s not only harking back to this golden period of R&B, it’s looking forward.
The full album is an absolute goliath with 19 tracks in total. Our favourites include the trap-fuelled ‘Do U Dirty’ and pop anthem ‘Personal’.
If you’re going to listen to any of the new music out this week, make Kehlani’s SweetSexySavage a priority. You won't regret it.
