Editor's note

Kehlani's Oakland roots and intimate R&B

A solo voice from California who writes plainly about relationships and personal change.

For a good sense of her style, check out 'Not Used To It' from the early days and 'Feels' from the 2020 record. Both have that unadorned, emotional pull she does well.

Kehlani's music sticks to a soulful, introspective lane that feels lived-in, not polished. Early tracks like 'Not Used To It' from the mixtape Cloud 19 set a tone of vulnerable writing, and that directness carries through to later songs like 'Feels'. She keeps the production lean so the lyrics and melody do the talking.

She started performing as a teenager in Oakland with the group popLyfe before going solo around 2014. Her mixtape Cloud 19 caught attention for its personal feel, and by 2020, albums like It Was Good Until It Wasn't continued that frank approach to relationships.

Archive material and source history

Kehlani Parrish grew up in Oakland, California and started performing early, joining the girl group popLyfe as a teenager. Her solo work began gaining attention around 2014 with the mixtape Cloud 19, which had a soulful, introspective feel. Songs like 'Not Used To It' and 'little story' from that period showed her leaning into personal, vulnerable writing.

She followed it up in 2020 with It Was Good Until It Wasn't, another record that dealt frankly with relationships and personal change. Tracks like 'Change Your Life' with Jhené Aiko and 'Feels' reflect that direct, emotional approach to R&B.

Kehlani has worked with other artists including Ty Dolla $ign and Chance the Rapper, but she's primarily a solo voice. Her music tends to avoid grand production in favor of letting the lyrics and melody carry the weight.
