Release Date: 6th October 2017
The greatly anticipated debut album from Kelela emerges as an epic portrait of an artist spanning the past and future of RnB. In her hands the genre knows no boundaries and so Take Me Apar exists as an absolutely singular and fearless account. Honesty and vulnerability have always been key themes to Kelela's art - and with Take Me Apart she pairs this with the perfect blend of avant-garde electronics and miraculous melodies - displaying the influences of her formative years listening to RnB jazz and Björk. Like tapestry the process of crafting he album saw her embrace the approach of widely collaborative R&B hip-hop and pop production before deconstructing the results and building the pieces back together to form the whole. This has to be the best RnB record of the year!
