There hasn’t been as much noise as we’d have expected around Kelela this year. Its seemed after all the hype around her mixtape Cut 4 Me and the Radio 1 faces to watch listing that she’d be everywhere.
It didn’t turn out like that. Maybe the hype burst bright a little before she was quite ready. Which makes her showing up on the new Kindness album a “small k” kindness of a type.
We were fans of his first Modular recording (with the exception of the odd reworking of the Eastenders theme) And this one already sounds good with it’s dreamy jazz funkiness.
And this track With You featuring Kelela feels a bit like a keeper -
Ripping sax break too.
