Kali Uchis on Being an Industry Outcast and How Her Mother’s Death — and Son’s Birth — Shaped Her New Album
Kali Uchis opens up about how her mother's death -- and the birth of her first son with Don Toliver -- shaped her cinematic new album, 'Sincerely.'
Her stoic yet effervescent spirit — captured on projects from her raw debut 2012 mixtape “Drunken Babble” to the celestial melodies of “Sincerely,” her latest album — isn’t just the backbone of her anthems of female empowerment; it’s been her shield. “Sincerely,” — the comma is part of the title, like the closing of a letter — was completed shortly before the holidays and was mostly written by Uchis in solitude; she would send her songs to collaborators, who range from Rosalía/ Miguel producer Dylan Wiggins to electronic-music artist-producer Vegyn. With the release of her first fully Spanish-language album “Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios)” in 2020, Uchis began a rare reverse crossover — historically, Spanish-speaking artists have had to work hard to gain traction in English-speaking markets.
