Kehlani Announces Highly Anticipated Self-Titled Album Set For April 24 Release

GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani has officially announced the release of her highly anticipated new self-titled album, Kehlani, arriving on April 24. The project marks a defining moment in her career—an intimate and fearless body of work that reflects her clarity, confidence, and creative freedom.

A self-titled album often serves as an artist’s most personal statement, and Kehlani is no exception. The album 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.

Fans can now pre-save and pre-order the album, with signed vinyl and CD editions also available for pre-order.

A Defining Chapter in Her Career

Known for creating deeply personal music that resonates across generations of listeners, Kehlani continues to evolve while staying grounded in emotional honesty and artistic authenticity.

For as direct and fearless as she is in exploring life, love, and desire, her music reaches beyond surface emotion—offering listeners something elevated, vulnerable, and profoundly human.

With over 20 gold and platinum RIAA certifications and more than 5 billion streams worldwide, Kehlani has firmly established herself as one of contemporary R&B’s most powerful voices.

She is now a 2x GRAMMY® Award winner and 7x GRAMMY® Award nominee, recently taking home both Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for her global hit “Folded.”

“Folded” Dominates Global Charts

Kehlani ushered in a new era with her 2025 breakout single “Folded,” a soaring anthem that dominated both charts and cultural conversation.

The track amassed more than 800 million global streams, peaked at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and reached No. 1 at Urban Radio for nine consecutive weeks. It also claimed the top spot at both Rhythmic and R&B Radio.

The single earned Kehlani her first solo Billboard No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart, while also reaching No. 1 on Apple Music’s R&B charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Internationally, the song climbed to No. 22 on Billboard’s Global 200.

Its success inspired the star-studded Folded Homage Pack, featuring new interpretations by R&B legends Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank.

Billboard Women in Music Recognition

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

The recognition further cements her status as an artist whose impact extends far beyond charts—shaping conversations around artistry, identity, and cultural representation.
