I collapsed when I heard this album and got revived by it, the healing powers it has. Kelela really created something that wasn't there in the r&b genre. It's a modern classic that I will be playing for my kids
Kelela can’t do anything but produce classics, I don’t know how she does it, is leaves me speechless I’m still trying to understand how she made a song like bruises😭
@@Peighter i've watched that ig live so many times 🤣 "STRANGER DANGER" "AM I EXCITED TO SEE BEYONCE?! OF COURSE I"M EXCITED TO SEE BEYONCE ARE YOU MAD" "WHATS MY BODY COUNT?"
And it’s Take me apart😭😭 I’ve never heard a better album Also maybe it’s too sentimental at this point, but nothing will ever top that for me But Raven is fantastic I was listening to “Fooley” on repeat today and wow, what a song😭
Revisiting this reaction and album, two things stick out to me: 1) You can always tell when an artist has a jazz background. 2) I know Kelela has a deep love and admiration for Little Dragon and Yukimi Nagano, and something that both of them do is this slow vibrato that’s so ELEGANT. Love this album!
My gf put me on to Kelela and I’m very thankful. She’s truly an artist that cares about her craft. She’s intentional, vulnerable, and ethereal. I feel like I’m breaking through my own personal cocoon when I hear this through to the end. And I’ve heard this in its entirety many times already. I don’t think she (my gf) expected me to like this project as much as she did but we both recognize true artistry and mastery. It’s clear to us that Kelela makes timeless music that requires your attention and rewards you with a blissful out of body experience. I love the way you react to each track because same lol
This comment filled me with so much joy. It means so much to me when I can share with someone else something I love and they love it too Now I want to go stream Raven because it’s been a day since I haven’t listened 😂 Hope you keep enjoying the music❤️
Always love your videos! Washed away feels like she's treading through/submerged in water. Through the course of the album and by the time Far Away comes, it sounds like she's soaring through the sky like a Raven after all she's been through. Far Away made me put everything down the first time i heard it. This is so healing.
You know something interesting I just realised, the transition from on the run to missed call, where she dials numbers on a phone and says “hello” then the breezy guitar music plays, that could be interpreted as the waiting music you hear when you’re on hold over call, this is after listening to the album about 15 times😂 I wonder what other things there are to discover 😭
Kelela is my faveeee take me apart is my favourite r&b album so I was so excited to hear Raven. Love Raven too. A lot of songs grew on me. My top 3 are Raven, Bruises, and On the Run
Take me apart is my fave of all time too tbh. I listen to a range of music so it’s a bit all over the place. Most is Beyoncé and Rihanna’s catalogues are my fave lol. I love classic r&b and neo soul, albums like the velvet rope, love by Sade, mama’s gun by Erykah and both brown sugar and Voodoo by D’angelo. Channel Orange and when I get home are my fave contemporary r&b albums other than TMA. Illmatic by Nas and broke with expensive taste by Azealia Banks are my fave hip hop albums. Homogenic by Bjork made me fall in love with avant garde. To bring you my love by Pj Harvey and Speaking in tongues by Talking Heads made me appreciate the rock genre too. Amy Winehouse and Billie Holiday made me love Jazz. I guess that’s why I’m such a Kelela stan cause she literally combines all of the music I love into one lol.
Your excitement for this album exactly mirrored mine. Kelela really came back with an exquisite record and gave us so much beauty. This is already my AOTY.
This album is genuinely such a masterpiece. Your Kelela reactions are so good, and I was excited to see your thoughts! The title track is my favorite, and I will never get over the switch halfway.
Thank you so much❤️ The thing that gags me is that Raven changes throughout the song, like there were so many changes I was almost in shock at the end, we were never ready for this
I was listening later on after filming and I realised that we are witness greatness in action The mind to create this album??? The transition from “raven” to “bruises” almost makes me shake😂 it’s tew good
I love the concept!! Everythings sounds fluid, aquatic. If you look at the overall sound of washed away (intro) and far away (outro), the intro is way more light and ethereal, whereas the outro is dark and gloomy. Throughout the album she progresses deeper into the water, the ocean with every song.
@@Peighter i love her scatting abilities on far away. It just shows how versatile her vocals are and it adds so much depth to the song without it depending on lyrics.
When I tell you I was waiting to see your reaction to Raven. The vocal stacking, the harmonies, the backround vocals, her velvety vocals. Kelela is that girl. My standout tracks were : 1. Bruises 2. Closure 3. Happy Ending 4. Contact 5. Let it Go 6. Washed Away 7. Far Away
The vocal stacking?!?! It’s out of this world Imagine a Ravyn Lenae X Kelela song, that slay might be too strong for this galaxy Bruises being your number 1 makes so much sense, since listening to the album again, it has made its way back into my top 3😭
washed away ending in the sound of going underwater, and far away opening with the sound of waves as the listener we got pulled into her world then washed up back to where we started
idk what you doing currently but you NEED to pursue modelling... this is the high end editorial FACE. like no flaws, incredible features... you could really make bank
Not high end editorial face😭😭🔥 thank you for that. I’m going to walk around campus feeing so confident😂 I’m studying data analytics by the way, but maybe I should start contacting the agencies
So to the fans out there KAYTRANADA only produced one track on raven lol and that’s “on the run” I think folk are disappointed in that! But I’m in LOVE WITH THE PROJECT! Amazing project
There’s absolutely nothing disappointing about this album in my opinion It only gets better every listen A song like Divorce which I like but didn’t listen to that much Is growing on me
@@Peighter facts! Once “fooley” starts the album changes drastically! And to be honest I been listening to the 2nd part of the album alot more because it feels like she is communicating on how she is tryna liberate herself from someone or something!
I love the second line, I usually listen to it when I’m at the gym. So I can’t react to it, I already know it😭my favourites are “mornin|streetlights” and bussifame, that song goes craaazy
Thanks for putting me onto this album. It has been on loop for 2 weeks straight. I feel a lightness in me. ....and, yes, we need to discourse about it. 🤭😂
I’m glad you enjoyed it😭❤️ Sorbet and bruises in your top 3? You have impeccable taste I fear. Do you have Spotify? I’d like to follow you there and listen to your playlists
I’ve listened more to the album and I have to get “Bruises” in my top 3 , I don’t know what to move in my top 3 but I have to make space for bruises What is your top 3?
I love that you did this, I love looking at other peoples taste, and I have to say, yours is fantastic, I love enough for love But also, I love everything 🙈
“one thing about her on this album..she’s far away” ☠️ great review
She said the words “far away” on almost every song😂 I’m going to try and analyse the words of this album so that I understand this theme properly
@@Peighter she explains the focus of the album a little bit within the vinyl packaging
i noticed the same thing on my first listen lmaoooooo like damn sis alright we get it
I collapsed when I heard this album and got revived by it, the healing powers it has. Kelela really created something that wasn't there in the r&b genre. It's a modern classic that I will be playing for my kids
Kelela can’t do anything but produce classics, I don’t know how she does it, is leaves me speechless
I’m still trying to understand how she made a song like bruises😭
@@Peighter Bruises!!! 😩🙌🏾
Album of the year already. 💁🏻♂️
I know that’s right! I can’t wait to watch the performance on jimmy fallon
Fooley is QUEEN, we love her
Definitely queen
That song is only made for the deeep stans😭
the fact that "sorbet" was yours and my fav song on the album just blows my mind. album of the year, seriously 😭🥰
Great minds think alike 😭❤️
Just saying. When I saw her live and she did 'Sorbet', she broke my heart
Love this album ❤
when Divorce came on, i imediately went DIVORCE BABE DIVORCE.. and then you said it and i screamed 🤣🤣🤣
Adele was so iconic for that line🙈😂
@@Peighter i've watched that ig live so many times 🤣
"STRANGER DANGER"
"AM I EXCITED TO SEE BEYONCE?! OF COURSE I"M EXCITED TO SEE BEYONCE ARE YOU MAD"
"WHATS MY BODY COUNT?"
oh and can we also talk about the transition from raven to bruises?! iconic!!!!!!
I would love for us to create a phd level thesis on how that transition was created😭
Just right
Raven and Divorce had me FLABBERGASTED. "The perfect album doesn't exi-" YES IT DOES 😭💖
And it’s Take me apart😭😭 I’ve never heard a better album
Also maybe it’s too sentimental at this point, but nothing will ever top that for me
But Raven is fantastic
I was listening to “Fooley” on repeat today and wow, what a song😭

this is my favorite album!!! i love watching ppl react to it
I love it too tbh! Tew good!

This Albulm is honesty treasure, thanks for sharing your reaction
this reaction is a national treasure and imma keep comin back
This is so crazy😅 I’m glad you like it😌

A great album!
Far Away has to be the biggest music gag of the year
Always love your videos! Washed away feels like she's treading through/submerged in water. Through the course of the album and by the time Far Away comes, it sounds like she's soaring through the sky like a Raven after all she's been through.

Thank you for this timely reaction. I know a real Kelela fan when I see one! Make one for her Fallon performance 🔥
I saw the instagram post and I’m so excited to see it😭😭🔥
Kelela is my faveeee take me apart is my favourite r&b album so I was so excited to hear Raven. Love Raven too. A lot of songs grew on me. My top 3 are Raven, Bruises, and On the Run
You’re top three is top tier!!
And Take me apart is my favourite album of all time
Could you tell me which other albums in general are your favourite?
Take me apart is my fave of all time too tbh. I listen to a range of music so it’s a bit all over the place. Most is Beyoncé and Rihanna’s catalogues are my fave lol.

Album Of The Year for me.... Bruises was a cultural shift - will you react to the Enough For Love music video?
Kelela fans UNITE! I just saw her in LA, hoping to see her again in Chicago this summer🥰
Your excitement for this album exactly mirrored mine. Kelela really came back with an exquisite record and gave us so much beauty. This is already my AOTY.
Already, I can’t wait for it 😭
amazing analysis of Divorce 🥰
This album is genuinely such a masterpiece. Your Kelela reactions are so good, and I was excited to see your thoughts! The title track is my favorite, and I will never get over the switch halfway.
Thank you so much❤️
The thing that gags me is that Raven changes throughout the song, like there were so many changes I was almost in shock at the end, we were never ready for this
i was waiting for your reaction
this is album of the year HANDS DOWN, i got chills listening
I was listening later on after filming and I realised that we are witness greatness in action
The mind to create this album???
The transition from “raven” to “bruises” almost makes me shake😂 it’s tew good
@@Peighter i was SHOOK
no because HOW can you have Raven AND Take Me Apart in the same discography??? she's ACTUALLY god
this was such a joy to watch, lol
i love seeing your raw excitement with raven, hands down one of the best albums already for 2023
I really love your energy and how you feel the music
Album of the YEAR!!!
I love the concept!! Everythings sounds fluid, aquatic. If you look at the overall sound of washed away (intro) and far away (outro), the intro is way more light and ethereal, whereas the outro is dark and gloomy. Throughout the album she progresses deeper into the water, the ocean with every song.
What you’re saying makes so much sense
I am going to try and listen with that concept in mind
Do you have a favourite part of the song?
@@Peighter i love her scatting abilities on far away. It just shows how versatile her vocals are and it adds so much depth to the song without it depending on lyrics.
When I tell you I was waiting to see your reaction to Raven. The vocal stacking, the harmonies, the backround vocals, her velvety vocals. Kelela is that girl. My standout tracks were :
1. Bruises
2. Closure
3. Happy Ending
4. Contact
5. Let it Go
6. Washed Away
7. Far Away
The vocal stacking?!?! It’s out of this world
Imagine a Ravyn Lenae X Kelela song, that slay might be too strong for this galaxy
Bruises being your number 1 makes so much sense, since listening to the album again, it has made its way back into my top 3😭
washed away ending in the sound of going underwater, and far away opening with the sound of waves as the listener we got pulled into her world then washed up back to where we started
You’re on the money!
idk what you doing currently but you NEED to pursue modelling... this is the high end editorial FACE. like no flaws, incredible features... you could really make bank
Not high end editorial face😭😭🔥 thank you for that. I’m going to walk around campus feeing so confident😂
I’m studying data analytics by the way, but maybe I should start contacting the agencies
this is so fun to watch, I feel like I’m there with you having tea listening to our good sis’s album
Thank you 😊😊 I love love Sorbet too.
Honestly that is my wish with these videos, to create a place where we can talk about artists and albums I love
I’m so glad you liked it🫶🏾🤎
So to the fans out there KAYTRANADA only produced one track on raven lol and that’s “on the run” I think folk are disappointed in that! But I’m in LOVE WITH THE PROJECT! Amazing project
There’s absolutely nothing disappointing about this album in my opinion
It only gets better every listen
A song like Divorce which I like but didn’t listen to that much
Is growing on me
@@Peighter facts! Once “fooley” starts the album changes drastically! And to be honest I been listening to the 2nd part of the album alot more because it feels like she is communicating on how she is tryna liberate herself from someone or something!
This album was so fire and dreamy 🔥 I’d love to see you react to Dawn Richard’s “Second Line” album, if you could 😁
I love the second line, I usually listen to it when I’m at the gym. So I can’t react to it, I already know it😭my favourites are “mornin|streetlights” and bussifame, that song goes craaazy
this album is so so insane and i haven't stopped listening to it. great review!
Thank you☺️❤️
3:27 you AND Kelela were preaching like i caught the Holy Ghost
This is so funny to me😅❤️
Thanks for putting me onto this album.
It has been on loop for 2 weeks straight.
I feel a lightness in me.
....and, yes, we need to discourse about it. 🤭😂
Hit me up on instagram please so we can talk it through🙈😂
seriously enjoyed your reaction, thank you so much! felt very similar while listening to Raven. my top 3 are definitely contact, bruises, and sorbet!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it😭❤️
Sorbet and bruises in your top 3? You have impeccable taste I fear. Do you have Spotify? I’d like to follow you there and listen to your playlists
HAHA! I kneww, you were going to like Sorbet :) was anticipating the top 3 mention
I’ve listened more to the album and I have to get “Bruises” in my top 3 , I don’t know what to move in my top 3 but I have to make space for bruises
What is your top 3?
I'm so happy that u really enjoyed this beautiful beautiful album
It wassss sooooo good. This album is going to be my personality for the next foreseeable future 😭😂
I loved this album, still on repeat to me! Thanks for this reaction! ❤️
I watched this yesterday & came back to put my top 3😅:
Enough for love
On the run
Sorbet💜
I love that you did this, I love looking at other peoples taste, and I have to say, yours is fantastic, I love enough for love
But also, I love everything 🙈
@@Peighter The whole album is so good it was hard to pick!💜
LOVEEEEE you much Peighter💗
😭😭 you always leave the sweetest comments
I appreciate you so much❤️
YESSSS AOTY 💓
I think you would really love tirzah first album "Devotion", would lovee to see a reaction she is kinda the similar vibe as keiyaa, minimalist rnb
💝 will you react to the enough for love video?
Definitely, I’ve been saying I will I know
But I’m definitely doing it! I love Kelela
@@Peighter Okay will be patient for it :) Excited to watch your reaction!!!
My top 3:
Sorbet (best chorus), music to get ur coochie ate to
Raven, the switch up is crack cocaine
Enough for love, banger
Not the coochie eating song🙈😂
Enough for love is really the banger on this album, you’re right😭
Was that Maybe we could by KIlo coming in at the end ? 😂 we are the same
We really are😂 if you make playlist or just have them, please send me the link, I love hearing new but similar music to what I like
We need "Raven" as the main chick on the right side of the wall it’s missing a mother
Yesss, you’re right. I need to get that picture printed asap! It deserves to be up there
AOTY
Its sooooooo GOODT 😊
kinda wished the whole album has the same vibe as washed awa
Omg you're so pretty, I wanna draw you.
Omg this is so kind😌 you can definitely draw me
42:55 This happened to me too.
Yeah my Spotify auto plays so that’s why it happened 😂🙈
Why you delete the last video reaction of Kelela? 🖤💔♥️❤️
I didn’t delete it, RUclips bl*cked it🙈😭 I think it’s the jimmy fallon show that did the bl*cking
@@Peighter download it again 😫❤️♥️
where can i get this t-shirt?
😂 actually Kelela does have RAVEN merchandise available 😊🤎
i meant your shirt. ☺️ it’s very cool
@@carlosquinto6011 thank you! i got the shirt from "Cotton on" its a store in South africa and Australia
Best album of the year so far

Loved this reaction! ❤ Sorbet & On the Run are my faves as well!
