Kelela announces new album, shares second single

Leah Bess

Today, R&B auteur Kelela announced her fifth studio album, New Avatar. It's due out July 10th via Warp Records.

With the announcement comes the single "linknb," which follows up last month's "idea 1."

In a Rolling Stone interview last year, Kelela teased a new record that'd harken to her roots in metal music. The guitars are certainly present in both of these singles, but it's yet to be known how heavy she's willing to get.

New Avatar is available for preorder here. See the full tracklist below.

  1. idea 1
  2. point blank
  3. goin down
  4. outta time (feat. K Paul)
  5. against me
  6. crystalize
  7. retaliation lullaby
  8. linknb
  9. don't piss me off
  10. new life forms (feat. Fousheé)
  11. the bridge (feat. PinkPantheress)
  12. if we meet again
