Have you ever experienced the so-called ‘butterflies’? When you like someone so much that’s stirring your internal loving energy – a feeling one might typically encounter as a teenager. For Kelia, the sensation was very real, in a recent relationship. She sings about it in her latest single ‘butterflies’, an uplifting, soulful and passionate anthem that channels the best features modern RnB has to offer. Kelia’s vocals are absolutely charming, possessing a certain magnetising quality that attracts the listener back to the song, over and over again.
Emerging from the greater Seattle area, Kelia champions a modern blend of Pop, RnB and Hip-Hop, using it as sonic framework for passionate and introspective lyrical material. Her previous release it’s dated 2021, a sign that the American talent felt the need to take some time out and focus on writing and finding her artistic voice. If ‘butterflies’ teach us anything, is that she manages to do exactly that, returning this year with a wonderful offering. We hope there will be more.
We weren’t the only ones catching her talent: Kelia has played several notable gigs, festivals and benefit shows, while being featured on KZAX radio in Bellingham. Critically, she has been praised for her ability to merge aspects of pop and R&B genres, utilizing catchy structures and hooks alongside impressive, sultry vocals.
