Stream Kali Uchis’ Debut Album ‘Isolation’

The time has come. Kali Uchis has finally released her long-awaited debut album Isolation via Interscope Records.

The 15-track project includes Uchis’ gold-selling single “After the Storm” featuring Tyler, the Creator and Bootsy Collins. The LP also features collaborations with Jorja Smith, Bia, Steve Lacy and Reykon.

“The basis of the album is that nobody is perfect, but that a lot of us just pretend more than others,” Uchis stated in a press release. “I can still reclaim my own femininity, I can still take a hold of my own sexuality, wear what I want to wear, look how I want to look, be who I want to be and that doesn’t mean that I can’t also be a creative, an intellectual, someone who calls their own shots in their life.”

Described as an “open journal,” Isolation (originally titled Fool’s Paradise ) is the first full-length project since Uchis’ 2015 EP Por Vida.

Khalid teams up with his R&B colleagues 6LACK and Ty Dolla $ign for his new single titled “OTW.” On the slow banger — produced by Nineteen85, Idan Kalai and Brian Alexander Morgan — the R&B gents sing about how they will always be there for their love interest.

“Put it in drive, I’ll be outside, I’ll be on the way / I’ll be on the way / You can meet me in five, I’ll be all night, I’ll be all day,” Khalid sings on the chorus.

Dolla $ign adds, “Come with me on this mission (ooh yeah, ooh yeah) / Riding down the coast (ooh yeah).”

6LACK comes in on the third verse. “You tryna make a move / Tonight I got the time, tell me what you wanna do,” he sings.

“OTW” follows Khalid’s duet with Normani, “Love Lies,” which has over 171 million streams on Spotify. It is also his first solo single since 2017’s “Young Dumb & Broke” from his debut album, American Teen.

Last month, Toni released her first album in eight years, Sex & Cigarettes, which included her hit single “Long As I Live.” Meanwhile, Traci is gearing up to release her sophomore album later this year, which will feature “Broken Things.” The album will follow her 2014 project Crash and Burn.
