Kehlani Brings The Sauce To Halloween In Red-Hot 'Touch' Video
The 'Distraction' singer brings the sexy to spooky for her new single...
Two songs in two weeks? Kehlani is up to something!
The 'CRZY' singer has premiered a Halloween-inspired visual for her sexy new track 'Touch', which was released today.
While Kehlani doesn't appear in the video, the trippy clip follows two disguised strangers creep around in horse masks (think The Purge but less scary) until they meet at an underground rave.
I go, I go, I go
Everything I do, I do it with a passion
If I gotta be a bitch, I'ma be a bad one
I'm AI with the designs, du-ragging
Bounce back game good, why we talkin' practice?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pull up score when I want to
Best thing next to Heaven
They be tryna count me out though
I'm just countin', countin' blessings
A real woman 'bout her paper
Niggas don't know where I came from
Why I really really came up
You never could say I'm back in
All this shit I've been through and it made me more of an assassin
I kill 'em, I kill 'em, I kill 'em with compassion
And baby if they askin'
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
Live for the challenge, only make me stronger
One more reason to turn up on 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
Lit, lit, lit, lit
Only L I take is to the face
You showed up to see me lose
But I overcome so you overcame
Basic, basic
Ain't nothing bout me basic
I'm crazy, I'm crazy
Better watch what you say to me cuh
Young Sway got the answers
Give 'em hell, give 'em pressure
VIP couch, no manners
Dirty-dirty-dirty dancin'
Take a look at what I did
Go for circle with the wrist
Whippin'-whippin' up the grits
Get a handful of this nicely
I got it, I got it, I got it
And you gon' respect it
Ain't nothin', ain't nothin', gon' stop me from makin' it happen
So baby if they askin'
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
Live for the challenge, only make me stronger
One more reason to turn up on 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go, crazy, crazy
'Touch' is a pulsating electro-fused R&B cut that sees the singer pleading for a lover's touch. The production is absolutely sublime, and Kehlani's delivery is seriously sultry, but effortlessly so.
"We don't even need to talk about it / More love, less talk, more love / We don't even need to talk about it / I like it when we walk / But I love it when we touch." Beat drop!
It's one of the grandest songs Kehlani has released with its cinematic production and last week's release 'Honey' is an acoustic love song, so it sounds like her next project is going to be quite the eclectic affair.
Kehlani is nominated for Favourite Female Artist Soul/R&B at the 2017 American Music Awards - alongside Rihanna and Beyoncé, not bad company! - and her reaction is absolutely adorable.
"To be up there with the queens of the universe is incredible and unbelievable," she said about her first ever AMA nomination. "I’m beyond honored and super humbled." Congrats, Lani!
As pop's prophet Ariana Grande once sang, "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body," right?
We're glad Kehlani agrees. Now let us listen to this and Ari's 'Touch It' back-to-back for the next few days!

Everything you do shows me you know it
Behind it all you are the motive
Don't tell you enough, but baby I'll show it, show it
He say the king where he come from
Take a young queen just to know one
So, baby, I'mma drive it like it's stolen
I'mma fix it like it's broken
We could catch a flight out to London
Go to the mall, spend a lump sum
They could try to catch up to us
But they're too busy making assumptions
Boy, you know all I do
Is stay up all night losing sleep over you
All I do
Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby
It's the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
It's the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
It's the way you are, you're a star, babe
It's the way you, it's the way you
You got my mind gon trippin
You know i love these women
She said I ain't even make my bed up
Watch your step, you gon' wake my mama and dad up
Pssh, girl, didn't I tell you at the damn club?
We gon' wake your neighbors
Turn your block club to my fan club
And that happen so fast
Damn, I glad I strapped up
Ask her when she finish, if she came
She said I lapped ya twice
Run it back for the door, rematch
Flip the crib when we fought, rematch
It get hot then no more, last cup
You can ask her if I fuck, she gassed, huh
I gotta keep it a secret, I keep a key in my lower pocket
Inside a register below the lower octave
Dirty laundry in my closet, they be strung out on the street
Left to dry with dry sheets and no deposit
They don't gotta worry, put my hand on your mouth
Put my hands in your mouth, girl
We got plans at my house, you know the way up
This thing we got is crazy
Only thing I know is you're my baby
Forever down, I am your lady
Always for sure, never a maybe
Never met someone who spoke my language
Never met a nigga done with playin'
You the type of nigga make me lane switch
Hand me the brush and say: Paint it
Give me your heart and I hold it
Show me your soul and I'll mould it
Baby boy, you gotta be the dopest
Gotta be to fuck with the coldest
