Listen Now To Kelela – Aquaphoria, WXAXRXP Mix https://www.mixcloud.com/
New Merch Available Now kelela.warp.net
Contributing to Warp’s epic 30th anniversary takeover of NTS.live, Kelela and long-time collaborator Asma Maroof play with effervescent abstraction, emotion and true beauty on this long-form piece of ambient free-R&B. Kelela’s favorites are reimagined and one’s breath is truly taken away by this combination of her sublime vocal waves and oceanic minimalist synth selections.
“Aquaphoria is both an exploratory, healing conversation with myself and a very political, niche-filling project that has been expansive and magical to create,” says Kelela. “I’ve always used my voice to dismantle, deconstruct and traverse genre, but this time instead of a turn up, it’s for solitude, intimacy and quiet time. This one is for my people to feel whole when they are alone.”
Kelela makes Aquaphoria available exclusively on kelela.warp.net alongside a newly-released short-sleeve version of her ‘ribbon in the sky’ tee.
