New Video: Kelela – ‘Washed Away’

Kelela is back.

After a lengthy hiatus, the alt-R&B chanteuse returns with hypnotic new single ‘Washed Away.’

The track serves as the star’s first original material to be released since 2017’s ‘Take Me Apart’ (home to the much loved ‘LMK’).

Speaking on the Yo van Lenz-produced track, the 39-year-old began by saying:

“A B*TCH IS BACK and feeling v after my hiatus. please TRUST the bangers are on the way. but first: how’s your heart? ‘Washed Away’ out now!”

Expanding, she added:

“Recorded this track in the midst of uncertainty and a lot of my first takes made it to the final. I really didn’t think I’d hit on anything that would resonate out the gate, but I can see now that it was my willingness to try that paved the way for self belief and renewal. Hope it makes you feel the same.”
