Kehlani features on ‘KEHLANI’…
02 · 08 · 2024
Belfast artist Jordan Adetunji has roped in inspiration and muse Kehlani on an official remix of ‘KEHLANI’ via 300 Entertainment.
The original version of ‘KEHLANI‘ is Adetunji’s breakout hit, and a contender for song of the summer. It’s racked up close to 100 million streams and marks Adetunji’s first Top 20 entry on the UK Singles Chart; the song has also debuted in the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. The full circle moment arrives weeks after Kehlani invited Adetunji to perform at her sold-out ‘Crash’ album release event in London.
Speaking on the collaboration, Jordan Adetunji shares: “Working with Kehlani has been a great experience because I’ve been able to see her process, and how she sings, how she places things, and how she says her words. Even her just translating what I said on my song to her verse was just amazing, it was seamless.”
On the spark of inspiration behind the original version, Adetunji continues: “Making a song about Kehlani was a no brainer to me, her confidence and huge cultural impact is something I love! I love confidence. Especially when people do things that put themselves out there, doing things out of the norm and showing huge ambition.”
Adetunji released his debut mixtape ‘ROCK N RAVE‘ last year, a sonic mesh of rock, RnB and rap informed by internet-ready Gen Z colloquials. Read our Next Wave interview with the musician here.
