Breakout vocalist, songwriter and producer Kali Uchis debuts a new single today—listen to “Nuestro Planeta,” featuring Reykon and produced by The Rude Boyz (Shakira, Maluma).
Recorded in Medellin, Colombia, the track is Uchis’ first sung entirely in Spanish. Uchis’ debut album is set for release this fall and speaking on the track’s theme, Kali Uchis says,
Fantasizing about being with the person you thought someone was rather than the person they are now, without all the other factors and drama that got in the way of that fantasy.
The new track follows “Tyrant” ft. Jorja Smith, streamed more than 7 million times with more than 2 million music videos views to date. The video, which was filmed in Paris and directed by Helmi is a cracker.
Raised in Virginia and her parents’ native Colombia, Kali Uchis’ debut studio project, Por Vida, was released in 2015 to acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, Dazed, Guardian, Pitchfork and i-D. Uchis has collaborated and shared stages with Gorillaz (appearing on their number 1 album Humanz and playing their sold out, inaugural Demon Dayz festival earlier this summer), Diplo, Major Lazer, Tyler The Creator, Snoop Dogg, Kaytranada and more.
