Kali Uchis
The past two years have arguably been the most eventful in Kali Uchis’ life and career. The Grammy-winning singer returned in 2023 with her third studio album Red Moon in Venus, and she kicked off 2024 in a big way with her fourth album Orquídeas and the birth of her first child two months later.
Now, Uchis is laying the groundwork for her next album Sincerely, marking a third straight year where the “Telepatía” singer will be releasing a full-length project. To give fans a taste of the upcoming LP, she’s released “Sunshine & Rain…” as the lead single from the album.
The song is a tender ode to a loved one in her life, presumably a lover like her partner Don Toliver, though her love has also been overflowing for her baby son over the past year. The heartfelt track opens with a home video audio snippet of Uchis’ mother wishing her a good morning as the Colombian crooner serenades someone close to her in her life. “Through sunshine and rain, as seasons change / We all need somebody that makes the Earth feel heavenly / Maybe I’ll be that somebody ’cause you’re that someone to me,” she sings on the chorus.
With Sincerely being her first album as a mother and her debut with Capitol Records, the project in many ways marks the beginning of a new chapter for Uchis. “I have boundless gratitude for my silent ascent throughout the years and am very much looking forward to what’s next,” she remarked of the label move earlier this month, per Stereogum. She went on to hint at the album’s focus on her personal world and home life in a social media video announcing the album’s release. “I dream of a home that even time will lie down and be still for; a place where everything works out the way it should,” she mused.
Sincerely is set for release May 9.
