“With iconic celebrity guests and “Folded” on the tracklist, Kehlani’s self-titled new album makes a confident return to the buoyant, bassy R&B of SweetSexySavage.”

“The singer's inviting fifth album has much more to offer than "Folded," its Top Ten, Grammy-winning lead single.”

“Coming into Kehlani as a newer fan this year, it feels like I finally understand the hype I’d only glimpsed before through her collabs with artists I already loved like Charlie Puth and ZAYN. This album really clicked for me..it’s smooth, confident, and emotionally in control without losing that raw honesty. There’s a maturity in how she navigates love, boundaries, and self-worth that makes the whole project feel grounded and intentional. It’s the kind of album that doesn’t need to be loud to hit hard. Definitely made me want to dive deeper into her catalog.”
