After a five-year hiatus following her critically acclaimed debut Take Me Apart, Kelela returned with Raven, released in 2023 on Warp Records. Rooted in electronic, R&B, and soul, the album was born from Kelela's own words as "an affirmation of black femme perspective" and "the sound of our vulnerability turned to power," making it one of the most personal and purposeful releases of its year.
Raven is a dreamier, more atmospheric evolution of Kelela's signature sound, blending sensual melodies with hypnotic production that ranges from dancehall grooves to jungle-influenced beats and warped synths. Tracks like "On the Run" and "Contact" showcase her ability to seamlessly merge intimacy with dancefloor energy, while the album's overall mood rewards deep, immersive listening. Presented in a gatefold jacket, this is a release that feels as carefully crafted in its physicality as it does in its music.
