Kehlani’s uniquely honest ability to vividly translate experiences through song is one she’s owned since she stepped on to the music scene. This year, she led the way alongside a handful of young female starlets who are playing a pivotal role in keeping R&B at the forefront of the music conversation. They’re doing it for their generation with a sound that’s uncensored, unparalleled and unlike any other. For the lead single from her Grammy-nominated mixtape-turned-debut album You Should Be Here, the Oakland-born songstress floats with ease over the Jahaan Sweet production “The Way” featuring Chi-town’s own Chance The Rapper.
