Kehlani has confirmed the release date of her upcoming new album.
The follow up to 2020’s ‘It Was Good Until It Wasn’t’ is called ‘Blue Water Road’. It will arrive on April 29 via Atlantic.
“Blue water road is a destination in my mind,â Kehlani said of the new album in a press release.
The album’s lead single ‘Altar‘ arrived last September, while follow up ‘Little Story’ arrived last month.

October saw Kehlani and Russ tease a joint album, following their collaborative single âTake You Backâ in 2020. Taking to Instagram at a party, Kehlani and Russ both hinted at the project, with the former saying at the end of their video: âYou want a Russ and Kehlani album? Tweet us.â
In December, Kehlani confirmed that they prefer the use of the gender-neutral pronouns they/them.
Last year, the singer updated their Twitter account to include their preference for she/they pronouns, and has now discussed the situation further.
Then, speaking to Byrdie Magazine last November, Kehlani confirmed their preferred choice of pronouns, saying: âI donât mind when people say âsheâ at all, but something feels really affirming when people say âthey.â It feels like⊠you really see me.â
Earlier this year, Kehlani opened up about both their sexuality and âstraight-presentingâ privilege, after coming out as a lesbian. âWanna know whatâs new about me?â the singer asked in an Instagram Live video alongside photographer Jamie-Lee B. âI finally know Iâm a lesbian.â
Kehlaniâs second album âIt Was Good Until It Wasnâtâ came out last May. In a three-star review of the album, NME wrote: âItâs understandable for an artist to want to change their sound, but the problem with âIt Was Good Until It Wasnâtâ is that it loses sight of the sheer brilliance Kehlani has demonstrated on previous releases.
