Kelela

Kelela

An artist spanning the past and future of R&B, Washington D.C.'s Kelela Mizanekristos emerges from the tides of her higher self's oceanic orbit with all the sonic, visual, and physical sensualism that magnetized her early core fanbase; the warped and chaotic beauty dropping into ballads and sounds which could have been transmitted from a neon-lit jazz club in Akira's Neo-Tokyo.

In her hands, the genre knows no boundaries. From her very earliest work, honesty and vulnerability have been cornerstones of Kelela's art - even when clad in the armour of the avant-garde electronics she so deftly inhabits, sweeping listeners along in the rush of ecstasy and the melancholic vapour trail of a hopeful, but ultimately doomed liaison.

Crisscrossing the globe supporting The xx, she has also appeared as a feature vocalist - from longtime ally Solange's majestic A Seat At The Table , to Danny Brown's immense Atrocity Exhibition and the star-studded Humanz from Gorillaz.

"I am a black woman, a second-generation Ethiopian-American, who grew up in the 'burbs listening to R&B, Jazz and Björk. All of it comes out in one way or another."
