There is nothing I would trade in this world for being a mommy.
KEHLANIThere is nothing I would trade in this world for being a mommy.
KEHLANIYou are anything but conventional, baby, did ya know?
KEHLANIMy lyrics are a complete 180 from what they used to be in terms of maturity. And I have a kid, so that changes everything.
KEHLANIYes, you are like the sun so always shine bright.
KEHLANILove is sight, sight is love. Stay where you’re seen, it’s where you’re loved.
KEHLANIIt don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine.
KEHLANISometimes I make songs about girls, and I say ‘he,’ or I’ll make songs about guys, and I say ‘she,’ or sometimes they’re exactly what they’re about. I feel like it just allows me to get a lot more perspective.
KEHLANIVocally, I’m always listening to Brandy. As a writer, I’m always listening to India Arie and Drake.
KEHLANII think most people don’t know that I really write everything myself. No help. There’s nobody in the studio except for me and the engineer. A lot of people don’t think I’m a singer. They think I’m a rapper.
KEHLANII always wanted to date me.
KEHLANILove my small team, proud of our sweet beginnings, every step feels so rewarding.
KEHLANII was writing with my homegirl who’s one of my favorite people to work with. We were just sitting in a studio and I said, I want to be able to talk about sex, but very specific kinds of sex.
KEHLANIStardom is a crazy thought. If that’s what my path is, then that’s where I’m excited to be headed towards.
KEHLANII just remember falling in love with the old Chris Brown music, where it was, like, that real R&B, and I love the radio smashes he’s put out since then, but I go back to his older music for that R&B.
KEHLANII think, as musicians, our music should be who we are. Sometimes it’s not – it’s someone else’s. All heartfelt music and all honest music, it’s who we are. Of course, our upbringing has everything to do with it.
KEHLANII used to think that love was giving up everything of yourself and giving it to the other person. Now, I’ve realized that love is when you have somebody that doesn’t make you give up half of yourself.
