GRAMMY® Award–winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani announces the arrival of her highly anticipated new self titled album, Kehlani, set for release on April 24. The self-titled project marks a defining moment in her career – an intimate and fearless body of work that reflects her clarity, confidence, and creative freedom. Pre-save/pre-order album HERE. Signed vinyl & CD pre-orders available HERE.

A self-titled album is often an artist’s most personal statement, and Kehlani is no exception. The project captures her at her most honest, blending soul-baring storytelling with the lush, genre-bending sound that has made her one of modern R&B’s most influential voices. Exploring themes of love, transformation, vulnerability, and growth, the album presents Kehlani fully in her element – raw, reflective, and unapologetically herself.

ABOUT KEHLANI

Kehlani will open your eyes, open your mind, and open your heart. For as blunt as she may be about life, lust, and love, her music occupies an elevated state above even the best high, yet remains deeply human and accessible with every listen. To date, she has earned over 20 gold and platinum RIAA certifications, tallied more than 5 billion streams, and is now a 2x GRAMMY® Award–winning, 7x GRAMMY® Award–nominated artist, taking home Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for her global hit “Folded”.

She ushered in a new era and dominated the cultural conversation with her 2025 single “Folded,” a soaring anthem that has amassed over 800 million global streams, peaked at #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and reached #1 at Urban Radio (for 9 weeks) as well as hit #1 at Rhythmic and R&B Radio. Kehlani also earned her first solo Billboard #1 on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart, claimed the top spot on Apple Music’s R&B charts in both the U.S. and U.K., and reached #22 on Billboard’s Global 200. The song inspired the star-studded “Folded Homage Pack,” featuring fresh interpretations by R&B icons Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank.

Adding to an already monumental year, Kehlani will also be honored with the Impact Award at the upcoming Billboard Women in Music, where she will deliver a special performance in celebration of her influence on music and culture.

Additional details about Kehlani will be announced soon.
