'My self-worth is not attached to money or to those checks. My self-worth is attached to what I do with them and how I’m contributing beyond myself.' - Kelela
There is no rulebook for artistic success in 2017, nor is there a manual for musical innovation—but R&B liberator Kelela hasn’t needed any such tool, crafting her own boundary-pushing success since her first release,, four years ago. Her sound—which exists at the intersection of R&B, pop, and dance music—is the product of days spent singing jazz and rock music in her hometown of Washington, D.C., and nights spent downloading electronic music from the U.K. and elsewhere.
Another example is when I started working out again for tour, my entire body felt on fire. I was struggling to recoup, but when I got to rehearsal, it was so much easier for me to sing. I sang through the entire set for the tour without stopping for talking. I discovered that it’s easier to sing if I work out in the morning. Now I’m continuing to do this as a function of singing well and having some ease in my body and my throat.
With producers or visual collaborators specifically, they are letting me use their language by contributing expertise, insights, and vision so that I can express myself and my larger vision, as well. People respond to vulnerability with vulnerability. Vulnerability helps you achieve something that sounds sincere and feels sincere, so you can access higher levels of raw feeling with both the people you’re collaborating with and the listeners.
