rediscovering this and falling in love with kelela all over again as I've matured, crying because this interlude video brings back such nostalgia to a time before TMA released and changed the timeline of what it meant to love music for me. I appreciate her so much as a person and seeing the crowd at her show in this video makes me remember the way life felt as a young person pre-trump and pre-COVID. I feel like that queer world is gone and the possibilities used to be endless, but now its like the possibilities are just more limited. one of the few things I'm excited for now is for kelela to bless us with her art again, and relive the feeling of the first time I heard her interlude. ❤️
this film is forever on repeat. she is so chill and soulful and conscious. the mood of this vid is so inviting. I'm really looking forward to her album!
@@imjoaop yeas her ex-boyfriend directed the video. And she has some songs about him and her previous boyfriends on her album Take Me Apart. Bluff is about him
a beautiful and deep soul ! kelela is an authentic artist. she brings fresh air into that music genre. Not as the commercial music artists from nowadays who don't know how to touch a human soul real deep.
Kelela’s opening monologue: I’m interested in the things that we’re all thinking but that we don’t say. The things that are going on with everybody, that we don’t really talk about. The things in between. The interlude. S.O.S.'s lyrics: I’m feeling a lot of pressure Only you can help me out Was tryna make it easy Now your finger's in my mouth So, I lay and wait I don’t take it lightly That you’re far away But I need it nightly When I’m full I take another Never been so greedy with a lover Will you come around Before it’s too late? I could touch myself, bae But it’s not the same If you could stop and help me out But I’ll take it slowly There’s no use in rushing The more I wait, the more I build up So, you better put it down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Kelela’s dialogue with friend: - Friend: Would you go to basketball games in your high school and stuff? - Kelela: I was a cheerleader in my senior year. - Friend: Shut the fuck up! Kels was a cheerleader? How odd! - Kelela: My senior year only, though bitch. Only. - Kelela: They’d be like… (mimics choreography). - Kelela: It’s that type of shit. Kelela’s monologue: We were just talking about this the other day. Is that a passive friendship? We are like so actively each other’s friend, we are deliberate. We don’t not have hard conversations and it’s just my life style to have difficult conversations. I think for me it’s actually not fearlessness. It’s like having fear but like doing it anyway. Being scared is courage, you know? I used to fixate on fearlessness, though. I used to be like so obsessed with this idea that some people are fearless and that’s how they do it. The difference between the ones who did it and the ones who didn’t’ do it, whatever it is, is just that those people don’t have fear and I’m plagued with fear. That was actually what was going on in my head for long time. And that’s why I didn’t pursue music. It’s like so much more about courage. When I found out that people on the other side are scared and that they’re doing it anyway, that was the moment for me. It’s about coming from a venerable place. Going through heartbreak and still be able to fall in love. Bluff's lyrics: I'm calling your bluff There's no way that you really leavin' One word, and you on the defense I'm calling because You already taken a beating And all that you need is Just a bit of this love There you go Holding onto something I'm gonna prove you wrong I'm gonna prove you wrong Here we go Jumping in the deep end I'm gonna prove you wrong I'm gonna prove you wrong I'm calling your bluff I'm calling your bluff
This is insane... I wonder if Kelela knows how impactful and inspiring this is, I doubt it. I can't wait for the rest of the world to wake up to her, I just hope her talent is respected and revered the way it should be. Thank you SO MUCH for this.
Kelela is so bae. Down to earth, amazing songstress and feels so vividly cool. I'd love to meet her in person or a concert. Real talk I need both these songs in my life.
I fell in love with a beautiful voice when I first heard her music. Now I'm in love with the woman after watching this beautifully well put together visual. I crave more from her.
I saw her front row in concert on Dec. 2, and touched her! I'm actually typing this from the grave with tears streaming because WHAT ARE THESE TRACKS OMFG
she just gets better and better and better
She really does
I need a 60-90 minute version of this.
!!!

She's someone you become obsessed with.

"When I found out that people on the other side are scared and they're doing it anyway...that was the moment for me."
"it's not about fearlessness...it's having the fear and doing it anyway." queeeenn. so inspiring.

Kelela’s opening monologue:

The things in between. The interlude.
S.O.S.'s lyrics:
I’m feeling a lot of pressure
Only you can help me out
Was tryna make it easy
Now your finger's in my mouth
So, I lay and wait
I don’t take it lightly
That you’re far away
But I need it nightly
When I’m full I take another
Never been so greedy with a lover
Will you come around
Before it’s too late?
I could touch myself, bae
But it’s not the same
If you could stop and help me out
But I’ll take it slowly
There’s no use in rushing
The more I wait, the more I build up
So, you better put it down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Kelela’s dialogue with friend:

Bluff's lyrics:
I'm calling your bluff
There's no way that you really leavin'
One word, and you on the defense
I'm calling because
You already taken a beating
And all that you need is
Just a bit of this love
There you go
Holding onto something
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
Here we go
Jumping in the deep end
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm calling your bluff
I'm calling your bluff
Myself from 6 years ago, and myself now…thanks you
Vulnerable*
