R&B Artist Spotlight: Kali Uchis

Music Style: Hazy Neo Soul that takes influence from 60's R&B and Soul, Doo-Wop, Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz, and Latin music

Karly-Marina Loaiza, otherwise known as Kali Uchis is someone who takes R&B music to a whole new level. She has the makings of the next big R&B star. She's always taking things to a new level musically. You all may recognize Kali from her features on Time (Free Nationals by Free Nationals), 10% (BUBBA by Kaytrananda), See You Again (Flower Boy by Tyler the Creator), Get You (Freudian by Daniel Caesar), or She's My Collar (Humanz by Gorillaz). So, some of you all may have recognized Kali's sensual lo-fi like singing voice. What I like about Kali Uchis is that she incorporates her Colombian heritage into her music an turns it into her own sound. Another talented artist who doses this is Gabriel Garzón-Montano.

It's actually very difficult to pin-point Kali's sound because her sound is all over the place. She channels new jack swing (Good to You), Boom Bap (Dream), 90's hip hop (Mucho Gusto), dancehall (Tyrant, Ridin' Round), tribal sounds (De Nadie, Inhale), modern hip hop (Tiger Lilly, Honey Baby, Only Girl), pop oriented stuff (Loner, In My Dreams, Dead to Me), Psychedelia (Just a Stranger, Sunset, Por Que te Vas), Reggaeton (Nuestro Planeta, No Eres tu (Soy Yo), Te Pongo Mal), Borlero (La Luna Enamorada, Que to Pedí//), folk (Ángel sin cielo), trip hop (Vaya Con Dios), funk (After the Storm, Coming Home), jazz (You Just Wanna Stay, Rush, Feel Like a Fool), reggae (Pay Day, Know What I Want, Killer), bedroom pop (Call me, Chimichanga), bossa nova (Body Language), and chopped n screwed (Fue Mejor, De Nadie). Kali's music has so many different elements to it that it can be classified as genre bending. That means whenever you listen to a Kali Uchis project, almost ever song will sound different and won't feel out of place. It always keeps you on the edge of your seat on what musical direction she'll go into next.

Kali's music always has this hazy psychedelic vibe to it. She incorporates a lot of old school soul and doo-wop in it. Some have even compared her to Amy Winehouse. While Amy is definitely an influence to Kali, it would be disingenuous to refer to Kali as the next Amy Winehouse. If you've seen Kali, you can tell that she likes the old school aesthetic. She often dresses like an 50's-60's soul singer, and her singing voice is proof of that. Her singing voice is light and soulful with a mature tone. Also, her range is massive. Watch her turn Bjork's Venus as a Boy to a old school soulful cover. Kali can turn any song from any genre into her own, and that's talent right there. Kali's voice is also very doo-wop and jazz inspired. In fact, some of her songs such as Rush, Sycamore Tree, All or Nothing, and Pay Day have doo-wop inspired vocals. She even showcases her vocal range on All or Nothing, In My Dreams, and Què Te Pedí//. One thing a lot of you guys may not know is that Kali Uchis can rap and sing rap. Her rapping can be seen in T.Y.W.I.G. and Mucho Gusto. Her sing rapping can be seen in Miami, Three Pills, and Table for Two.

Another thing, that I feel isn't spoken enough about Kali is her writing ability. Kali's lyricism is often very comedic. She often delivers these funny one liners like "Should Have Left Your Ass in the Friend Zone"; "F*ck me over, I'll f*ck you worse then take off to Japan"; But Why Would I be Kim? I could be Kanye; in Know What I Want, Ridin' Round, and Miami respectively. Some more of comedic writing can be seen in the 2nd verse or Tyrant as shown below.

Word on the street, you got hoes
I disappear like El Chapo
'Til you said you would cut off the whole world
If little old me would be yours
Well Mira, mira, míralo (míralo, míralo)
Papi está rico, papi está guapo (papi está guapo)
The world's been asking us to lose control
All we ever do is French like Brigitte Bardot (Brigitte Bardot)

Also some of Kali's best lyrics can be see in some of her spanish songs such as Telepatía, Quiero sentirme bien, Vaya Con Dios, and Fue Mejor.

If you want something hazy and genre bending, listen to her mixtape Drunken Babble (which isn't on spotify or apple music btw). If you want some lush production with Doo-Wop vocals, listen to her EP Por Vida. If you want some nice psychedelia sounds mixed in with neo soul, listen to Isolation. If you want some latin music listen to Sin miedo (del amor y otros demonios) ∞.

Some of my favorite Kali Uchis songs are: Dream, T.Y.W.I.G., You just Wanna Say, Sunset, Pay Day, Tiger Lilly, Inhale, MULTI, Honey Baby, All or Nothing, Lost in Paradise, Water to Wine, Sycamore Tree, Call Me, Melting, Lottery, Rush, Ridin' Around, Loner, Only Girl, Body Language, Flight 22, Your Teeth in My Neck, Tyrant, Dead to Me, Nuestro Planeta, In My Dreams, Gotta Get Up, Tomorrow, After the Storm, Feel Like A Fool, Killer, La Luna Enamorada, Fue Mejor, //Aguardente y limón %ᵕ‿‿ᵕ%, Quiero sentirme bien, Telepatía , De Nadie, Solita, Time, Are You Feeling Sad, See You Again, Get You.

Here's a Spotify and Apple Music playlist of Kali Uchis.

Here Are Some Good Performances: Dead to Me (Acoustic), COLORS Performance, Tito's Full Live Performance, Live Performance on Jimmy Fallon

[DISCUSSION] Childish Gambino - 3.15.20 (One Year Later)

Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:11 AM PDT

One year ago, Childish Gambino debuted his 4th studio album with a 12 hour live stream on his website donaldgloverpresents.com. It was his most polarizing album yet, potentially due to the lack of album cover, song titles, album title and traditional rollout.

Track List:

0.00
Algorhythm
Time
12.38
19.10
24.19
32.22
35.31
39.28
42.26
47.48
53.49

Now, one year later, what are your thoughts concerning this album's overall mood, lyrics, production, & release? Has your opinion on the album changed in the last year? What are your favorite songs? Has this album aged well?
