Kehlani isn’t ready to let a relationship go “Out the Window” on her new single that dropped on Friday (Nov. 7) via Atlantic Records.
She resurrects that old school R&B feel even on the “Out the Window” cover art, which was shot by photographer Markus Klinko, who also did the cover of Beyoncé’s 2003 debut album Dangerously in Love, Kelis’ 2003 album Tasty, Mariah Carey’s 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi and Mary J. Blige’s 2005 album The Breakthrough.
“Out the Window” arrives five months after “Folded,” which became Kehlani’s first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and first No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs this week (charts dated Nov. 8). They performed “Folded” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this week. And while they got Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo and Tank on the “Folded” remixes for the Homage Pack, Kehlani has also collaborated with Cardi B (“Safe” from Am I the Drama?), Mariah Carey (“Sugar Sweet” also with Shenseea from Here I Am), Leon Thomas (“Dirt on My Shoes” from Mutt Deluxe: Heel) and kwn (“Worst Behaviour” from With All Due Respect) this year.
While talking to her five-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi Parrish Young-White, during a recent Billboard Family interview, Kehlani revealed they’re working on a new album “coming next year.” Kehlani released their last studio album, Crash, in 2024. It earned a best progressive R&B album nomination at the Grammys this year.
Kehlani will be honored Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the 17th annual ASCAP Women Behind the Music in Los Angeles.
