On Tuesday, February 7, Kelela released the fifth and final single, “Enough For Love,” from her latest album, Raven, available now via Warp. The album, executive produced by Kelela herself and co-executive produced by Asmara, features 15 new tracks from the artist. Members Yo Van Lenz and Florian T M Zeisig of OCA and LSDXOXO serve as the main producers throughout the album, with additional production from Bambii. Check out “Enough For Love” below.
In “Enough For Love,” Kelela asks the ultimate question: “Are you tough enough for love?” The singer knows that the toxic inclination to reject tenderness is a force, but also, the freedom and compassion, that can come from whittling it away. “Enough for Love” joins previously released singles “Washed Away,” “Happy Ending,” “On the Run” and “Contact.”
Raven explores vulnerability and radical surrender at the tentpoles of love, romantic or otherwise. The album features an improvisational aspect of jazz, a pulsing tempo of dance/electronic music and the openness of traditional R&B.
