We know it's only February, but Kelela has released one of the year's best albums.
On Friday, the singer's new album Raven arrived in full on Warp Records. And it's stunning. We can't stop listening. It's such a personal, resilient record, one of emerging from sorrow and darkness, but coming out on the other side.
Kelela took to social media earlier this week ahead of the album's release. "Only two more days til I drop this labor of love," she said of her sophomore LP.

In addition to the new music, Kelela has a tour starting next month in Atlanta, and she performs on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday night (Feb. 10).
