Kehlani: Crash review – the perfect sexy summer soundtrack
From innuendo-heavy anthems to soulful country, the Oakland singer rides the emotional rollercoaster on their fourth album
On 2020’s lockdown soundtrack, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t, unhealthy relationships were laid bare over atmospheric R&B, while its folksy follow-up, Blue Water Road, fell headfirst into love. Crash dives deep again emotionally, but adds a more playful musical framework to songs that flit between horny bedroom soundtracks (the Jill Scott-assisted Sucia) and fiercely protective bangers (Next 2 U). Keen not to be boxed in by genre or mood, however, Better Not leans into soulful country, while Chapel, which rides the highs and lows of love, is a haunted rock ballad.
