The intro is only a minute long, but she still manages to put so much emotion into the words that by the time “Keep On” starts, you’re already pumped and empowered. She calls herself a “superwoman” and “an angry woman” and a “crazy woman”, meaning to encompass all the things women can be. Starting with a poem written by Reyna Biddy, an up and coming writer, Kehlani builds on the title of her album by using a quote that is feminist at its heart.
When I first listened to the album, the “Intro” was the first thing that grabbed me. Not only is SweetSexySavage honest, but Kehlani does not hold back in pouring her thoughts and heart into these songs. On her second mixtape, Kehlani was nominated for a Grammy for the Best Urban Contemporary Album on You Should Be Here, and with this new album I’m certain she’ll be nominated again. SweetSexySavage is her first studio album, and it will surely not be her last.
Both her mixtapes, Coud 19 and You Should Be Here were given great reviews, and Kehlani was finally put on the radar. It wasn’t until Nick Cannon, who had tried to get her to join a rap group, heard her first solo track “ANTISUMMERLUV” that Kehlani was given a second chance. After leaving PopLyfe over disagreeing with the contracts, Kehlani was homeless and moving from couch to couch, not working on music or herself. Originally part of a girl group called Poplyfe, Kehlani and the other girls made it to the fourth spot on “America’s Got Talent”. Kehlani Ashley Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, is an American R&B, hip hop, and soul artist who has gone through dozens of trials to get where she is now, and it’s paid off well in her favor. Perhaps the best thing about SweetSexySavage is how unapologetically herself Kehlani is in this new album.
