Kali Uchis' debut EP "Por Vida," released in 2015, is a mesmerizing journey through the Colombian-American artist's uniquely ethereal world. Featuring production from the likes of Tyler, the Creator, Kaytranada, and BadBadNotGood, the EP wraps Uchis' deeply personal lyrics in dreamy, atmospheric textures. The opening a cappella track "Sycamore Tree" envelops you in her layered vocals, setting an intimate mood that carries through the EP.
Tracks like "Call Me," "Melting," and "Rush" give listeners a peek into Uchis' soul, revealing themes of love, loss, and self-empowerment with raw honesty. There's an undeniable balance between her soft, pillowy sound and the powerful narratives she weaves in songs like "Know What I Want" and "Loner." Her voice echoes with a blend of longing and fierce independence that resonates deeply.
The EP's production is a lush fusion of influences, from doo-wop to música urbana, enhancing its eclectic allure. Synth-heavy tracks such as "Speed" and "Ridin' Round" showcase Uchis' knack for crafting irresistibly catchy hooks. It's a collection that pulses with emotional depth and sets a promising stage for her future in R&B.
Whispers of a sycamore's sigh,
Echoes deeply through night skies,
In the rush of beats, hearts collide,
Love's sweet, bittersweet ride.
Float on clouds of melodies, divine,
In Kali's world, hearts and souls align. -
