Arguably, an artist’s fourth album has unwritten rules bound to them. Will they retain the formula that made them successful, or will they reinvent themselves as new? Kehlani chose the latter option. Gone is the wide-eyed, retro-inspired R&B of ‘Cloud 19’, ‘You Should Be Here’ and ‘SweetSexySavage’. Equally, the neo-soul musings of ‘While We Wait’ are in the rear-view mirror, and the quaint, aquatic serenity found on ‘Blue Water Road’ has long since evaporated.
Loosely speaking, ‘Crash’ picks up where ‘It Was Good Until It Wasn’t’ left off, weaving notes of dystopia and emotional turmoil (‘Chapel’, ‘Lose My Wife’) with themes of love, lust, and longing (‘Vegas’, ‘8’) throughout its 13-track run. This time featuring glossier beat-work and grandiose ideas, ‘Crash’ is Kehlani’s shot at an R&B classic, stripping the genre down to its most intimate components and reforging it using avant-garde strokes of genius.
