Listen to Kehlani’s woozy new single ‘Little Story’
nme.comKehlani has shared an emotive new single titled ‘Little Story’, coming as the second track shared from their forthcoming third album, ‘Blue Water Road’.Gentle atmospherics and warm, strummed electric guitars build the soundscape, with Kehlani employing a more restrained and laidback – though still typically enrapturing – vocal style.
Opening the track, they sing: “Wouldn’t say I’m a liar, but I’m not always honest / I ain’t come through, but that’s why I ain’t promise / You got a face that I couldn’t lie to / Light blue lights in a white room / And you’re fine too.”‘Little Story’ was released alongside a black-and-white video, directed by Alexandra Thurmond in tandem with Kehlani theirself, that evokes the arthouse films of decades past.
Among its myriad of visuals is a poignant shot of Kehlani flanked by three masked violinists, performing inside a dilapidated house taken over by weeds.
Have a look at the video below:‘Little Story’ follows the September ’21 release of ‘Altar’, which Kehlani dropped a day after the formal announcement of ‘Blue Water Road’.
