  • If you haven't stepped into an underground club in the last decade, you might be forgiven if you don't know Kelela. But the Washington, D.C. native has had a seismic impact on dance music since she broke into the scene in 2013. Now, after a six-year hiatus, Kelela is out with her fourth and latest record, 'Raven' - and with it, she's remaking the future of dance music. This week, host Brittany Luse sits down with Kelela to discuss Black queer liberation, and how she hopes this record helps folks find freedom on the dance floor.

    Incredible interviewer. Asking the questions I really wanted to know about Kelela especially regarding this album I immediately fell in love with since the release of Washed Away.

    For intimate experienes with your record I was walking in a forested park feeling inspired for first time in awhile to write poetry and journal on my phone, while listening, I was writing about owls and one swooped down in front of me it certainly was a special moment. Much love, YOU ARE AMAZING I cannot get over you and your talents !

    "Men are emotionally stunted" as per the type of men you somehow always end up messing with. Wonder that the common denominator is here

      NO

      Maybe there’s a point. But the progress of men that are not emotionally stunted is for sure connected with a critical examination of the social behaviors encouraged by patriarchal systems

      It’s hard to avoid emotionally stunted men when they make up the majority.

    Love her music, but her political opinions are like an AI-generated caricature to see how many woke buzzwords she can cram into a sentence.
