New flame, I’m blowin out matches.
KehlaniKehlani As far as creation goes, you just really have to not overthink and just create and be confident. If you think it’s tight, then the world is going to think it’s tight.
KehlaniKehlani I 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.
KehlaniKehlani My lyrics are a complete 180 from what they used to be in terms of maturity. And I have a kid, so that changes everything.
KehlaniKehlani I really hate finding out people that show love really be talking crazy behind the scenes. Bitch buck up and hate me with your chest.
KehlaniKehlani I write most of my songs to beats. I play around on guitar, but not enough to where I can compose my own stuff or play solos. Can accompany myself cause most songs are, like, four chords.
KehlaniKehlani I’m a healthy eater, but I don’t consider Chick-fil-A fast food.
KehlaniKehlani I 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.
KehlaniKehlani Make-up sex, as treacherous as it can be, becomes this fun and playful thing versus this really intense thing. To me the song feels playful.
KehlaniKehlani My brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first.
KehlaniKehlani My favorite person that I had been running everything by doesn’t even make music, but he is a genius. It’s Kerby [Jean-Raymond] from Pyer Moss. -Kehlani
KehlaniKehlani Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.
KehlaniKehlani I 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.
KehlaniKehlani There’s girls that grew up like me and even worse, and they need to know that there is someone out there that can give them hope with my music. It’s about inspiring people and helping people.
KehlaniKehlani I ain’t the passenger I’m the pilot.
KehlaniKehlani Love is sight, sight is love. Stay where you’re seen, it’s where you’re loved.
