Breakout vocalist, songwriter and producer Kali Uchis debuts a new single today—listen to “Nuestro Planeta,” featuring Reykon and produced by The Rude Boyz (Shakira, Maluma), here. Recorded in Medellin, Colombia, the track is Uchis’ first sung entirely in Spanish. Uchis’ debut album is set for release this fall.
“Fantasizing about being with the person you thought someone was rather than the person they are now, without all the other factors and drama that got in the way of that fantasy,” says Uchis of the track’s themes.
Uchis’ North America headline tour kicks off September 12 in Boston with further shows in Seattle, Los Angeles, Austin, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York and more.
The new track follows “Tyrant,” streamed more than 6 million times to date. Watch the video, filmed in Paris and directed by Helmi.
“Tyrant” continues to receive critical praise:
“It’s glittery and danceable, but brutal in its honesty…‘Tyrant’ is a romantic banger flecked with self-awareness. It skillfully portrays love in the age of rumbling dystopia: a boudoir anointed by something pure even though its walls may shake with the unrest outside.”—NPR Music
“We have finally been blessed this week with new music from Kali Uchis. After nearly a year without new music, the Colombian-American songbird makes a strong return with Jorja Smith in this tropical tune.”—NYLON
“A simmering, sensual listen…”—Consequence of Sound
“The singer, songwriter and producer’s dual language track delights with layers of sonic effervescence atop a bouncing beat.”—Cool Hunting
Raised in Virginia and her parents’ native Colombia, Kali Uchis’ debut studio project, Por Vida, was released in 2015 to acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork and The FADER, whose cover she graced this year. Uchis has collaborated and shared stages with Gorillaz, Diplo, Major Lazer, Tyler The Creator, Snoop Dogg, Kaytranada, Leon Bridges and more.
