Kehlani is marching on full speed to the release of her debut album ‘SweetSexySavage’ – which lands in stores worldwide on January 27th.
And while that’s only a mere matter of weeks away, the rising star is keeping the try-before-you-buy party going.
This time it’s by way of new song ‘Do U Dirty.’
Uncaged today, the track does away with the stereotyped damsel in distress narrative and sees the 21-year-old embrace her inner ‘bad gal.’
Warning her prospective lover “think you love me now, I’mma do you dirty,” Kehlani makes it clear she’s not trying to be attached just yet.
Take a listen below…
A tasty slice of street and street, ‘Do U Dirty’ does a solid job of driving home Kehlani’s core proposition.
It’s not a smash, but packs enough of a punch to keep us glued to her ascend.
This girl is going to be BIG – Her first two ‘mixtapes’ ‘Cloud 9’ and ‘you should be here’ (which in my opinion were more like full albums) were pure dynamite. For some reason I get nostalgic listening to her tunes – Distraction is a real throwback.
If Kehlani doesn’t blow up this year, then something is seriously wrong with the world (and peoples ears)
Distraction is pure fire
image is her issue now.
hmm idk its alright i guess
it jus sounds so like everything else
OMG, you hit the nail on the head. I actually like Kehlani but most her tracks sound the same. She seems to have some real talent and raw emotions locked up but it’s not coming thru in these throw away tracks.
agreed.
I feel I heard this before. Has a Sevyn vibe too, and more of a mixtape vibe. These new artists should really push for NEW sounds. But I guess they just let the producers to give them the same beats over and over
I’m starting to lose interest in her. Distraction is a certified smash, but everything else from this album has just been forgettable. Her vocals and writing stand out, but the beats are uninspired.
The song is a nice album filler. As far as being a big star, I don’t see it for her.
It’s a nice song. But unfortunately I can’t jump on the train with this girl if she don’t know where she’s going.
And what makes you think she doesn’t know where she is going?
I love Tinashe and her music. The talents there. It’s the same with this girl. I don’t see consistency, maybe it’s her team I’m unsure.It’s hard to sell music if you don’t see a story and tbh I don’t know her. In a nutshell I’m not sure to jump train with this chick. If talent was the only trick to stardom she will be popping right now.
Who ?
She’s boring.
Very seven streeter ish! It’s kind of boring. I saw the title and assumed it would be lit! But i don’t think this has any replay value for me. Maybe the next one.
For some reason she reminds me of Laura Govan in that pic
The words savage, bruh, and lit need to be buried.
Im waiting to hear range, What ive heard from her sounds the same…. Im just waiting for diversity, Im still streaming the album none the less!
Where is kwinzy?
Nice song
