Kelela

KELELA IN CONCERT:Alt-R&B game changer [I think no hyphen?] Kelela became an overnight critical darling in 2013 with the release of her debut mixtape Cut 4 Me. The record served as the perfect introduction for the young singer's boundary-pushing vocals, featuring contributions from some of hip hop and R&B's most forward-thinking -- and sounding -- producers. At her live performances Kelela's strikingly original melodies and acrobatic voice are matched only by her next-level fashion sense, making for an unforgettable concert experience that's both sonically and visually on-point. Her association with LA label Fade to Mind and reputation for playing ultra-hip underground parties have further added to her aura of cool, making her live show one of the hottest tickets in R&B music.
