Kehlani & Fortunate Daye Hyperlink Up For “When He is Not There”

★★★★

Kehlani is at her finest when she’s being sneaky.

Lowkey, Kehlani and Fortunate Daye each delivered some fairly strong albums this 12 months. Kehlani dropped CRASH, a various challenge that garnered combined evaluations from critics, whereas Fortunate Daye launched the improbable ALGORITHM. (We are able to all agree that ALGORITHM is improbable, proper?)

Apparently, Kehlani wasn’t content material with only one album this 12 months—she’s gearing as much as drop one other one titled When We Wait 2 later this 12 months. (For those who keep in mind, When We Wait was a mixtape she launched in 2019.) The primary single from the challenge is “When He’s Not There,” that includes Fortunate Daye.

In “When He’s Not There,” Kehlani and Fortunate Daye plot to fulfill up when their companions aren’t round, however let me simply say this: if I occur to stroll in on that plan, somebody’s getting hit with a shovel. That apart, irrespective of how you are feeling concerning the track’s subject material, there’s loads to get pleasure from. Personally, I really like the silky-smooth R&B manufacturing, Kehlani’s seductive vocals that nearly make you purchase into the mischief, the infectious refrain, and the way in which Fortunate jumps in sounding like a man who’s each nervous about getting caught and desperate to threat all of it. General, I respect the vibe of this observe.

If I got here residence and my mattress smelled like fragrance, would it not trouble me? Truthfully, in all probability not.
