Kehlani is riding a career high. Off the heels of the massive commercial and chart success of "Folded," the R&B bombshell has dropped off her latest album Kehlani. Self-titled albums generally mean something, flag a project that's supposed to make a definitive statement about the artist's career and creative purpose. In Kehlani's case, her self-titled only further cements her position in the wider R&B canon, firmly placing her among legacy acts, like Brandy, Missy Elliott, Lil Jon, and T-Pain, as well as her peers, like Cardi B and Leon Thomas. Across 17 songs, she proves her vision is indispensable.
