Ahead of Kehlani’s self-titled album’s arrival later this week, the Bay Area native revealed the decorated guests she’s recruited for collaborations on the project.
Kehlani teamed up with Spotify on Monday (April 20) to reveal her collaborators with a cocktail-friendly trailer. The “Folded” singer didn’t hold back while enlisting a range of R&B and rap titans to join her on the LP.
The all-star lineup includes Missy Elliott, who appeared on Kehlani’s “Back and Forth” single, as well as Cardi B, Usher, Brandy, Clipse, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Leon Thomas, Lil Jon and T-Pain.
The Grammy-winning singer has previously teased features from Usher, Clipse and Brandy on the project. In the past, she appeared alongside Wayne on Khalid’s “Location” remix, joined forces with T-Pain on 2021’s “I Like Dat” and collided with Leon Thomas for “Dirt on My Shoes.”
After notching her first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit with “Folded,” Kehlani is set to be honored with Billboard‘s Women In Music Impact award later this month.
“I’m just growing up. Something happens when you turn 30 — everything’s making sense,” she said of maturing while entering a new decade and era of life. “My motherhood is going incredibly well. My family life, my friends, my whole internal world is finally clicking.”
As far as goals for the eponymous LP, Kehlani hopes to perform with an orchestra at Manhattan’s famed Carnegie Hall and wants to see various tracks get placements in movies.
“I want to do this album at Carnegie Hall with an orchestra,” she added. “I really want some of these songs to make it into movies … and ultimately just have a really historical personal moment for me, and hopefully keep adding to the genre because that’s the coolest thing that ‘Folded’ has done beyond anything — I’m watching the conversation change and I’m a part of it.”
Kehlani will serve as the R&B singer’s fifth album. Her last LP, Crash, arrived in 2024 and debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard 200.
