American R&B and soul singer Kali Uchis is set to drop her fifth album titled Sincerely, tomorrow.
In an interview, Kali revealed that the upcoming project consisting of 14 tracks will be her most ‘existential and honest work’, stemming from a life-altering event, details of which she she did not share.
“The album is about the complexities of life and finding ways to find joy in life despite the world. Finding ways to appreciate every moment and not take life for granted. Treat every day special,” she said.
“It’s definitely the most beautiful body of work to me, and it’s going to be, for me, the most meaningful and impactful,” she added.
The artist started teasing the album earlier this year through ‘Sincerely, mailboxes’ in select cities where fans were able to send letters to the artist directly, and had a chance to unlock a box that contained unreleased music from the album.
The second single from the album, titled ILYSMIH (abbreviation for I Love You So Much It Hurts), was teased with a snippet in a USB drive collected by a fan who got to unlock one of the boxes.
According to Kali, the song was inspired by her profound experience of motherhood and the immeasurable love she has for her son, whom she gave birth to last year.
Another fan also got to receive a drive featuring a snippet of the yet to be released track, All I Can Say.
The songwriter created a special ILYSMatcha latte that fans were able to order for a limited time at a coffee shop in Los Angeles, California, where she showed up and made the drinks alongside the shop’s employees.
Born Karly Marina Loaiza, the Colombian-American artist embarked on her career in 2012 and earned recognition in 2015 for her debut extended play Por Vida (‘for life’ in Spanish).
