After teasing Twitter with the letters “SSS,” Kehlani finally announced that her new album will be called SWEETSEXYSAVAGE. Just days later she went online and posted new track “Advice.” She gave out few teasers of the track beforehand. It is the third released track off her new album ; the other two songs, “CRZY” and “Distraction,” came out earlier in 2016 and were followed with visual music videos.

The new song is on the softer side, and is in line with the sounds of Kehlani’s mixtape from 2015, You Should Be Here. Since it’s release just one day ago, it has been played 63,000 times on SoundCloud. Given what Kehlani has put out on social media regarding the tape, she has hinted at a more reflective group of recordings. The various pieces should demonstrate the learning she’s done in relation to self-love, personal growth, relationships, and her identity. That becomes obvious with “Advice” as Kehlani talks about trusting herself first, and going with her instincts – basically boiling down to taking her own advice. Listeners everywhere have their ears ready for the new tape, to take whatever lessons Kehlani is ready to give.

SWEETSEXYSAVAGE is available for pre-sale now.
