Kehlani Out Everywhere Today On Her Birthday
2x GRAMMY® Award winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani releases her highly anticipated self-titled fifth studio album, KEHLANI, today on her birthday, April 24, 2026. Listen HERE.
A self-titled album is often an artist’s most personal statement, and KEHLANI is no exception. The project captures her at her most honest, blending soul-baring storytelling with the lush, genre-bending sound that has made her one of modern R&B’s most influential voices.
The album was anchored by a trio of defining singles, beginning with “Folded,” a breakout anthem that has become one of the defining R&B records of the decade. “Folded” delivered major award recognition, including 2x GRAMMY® wins for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance, an iHeartRadio Music Award for R&B Song of the Year (where she made her debut award show performance), NAACP Image Awards nominations, and three American Music Award nominations, including Song of the Year. The song has surpassed 800 million global streams, peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and spent 43 weeks on the chart. It reached #1 across Urban (for 10 weeks), Rhythmic, and R&B radio formats, generated over 1.45 billion U.S. radio audience impressions, earned Kehlani her first solo #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay Chart, and reached #22 on Billboard’s Global 200. The “Folded Homage Pack” extended its cultural footprint with reinterpretations from R&B icons including Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank. She also performed “Folded” on an episode of Amazon’s “In The Paint”, which aired during NBA Nightcap.
