Kali Uchis: ‘ORQUÍDEAS’, Pregnancy, & "Igual Que Un Ángel" | Apple Music

Singer and songwriter Kali Uchis sits down with Zane Lowe to discuss her new album, ‘ORQUÍDEAS.' Kali enters the studio moments after announcing that she is expecting her first child with partner, Don Toliver. She reveals that the album was named after the flower she finds beautiful, and was a nod to her Colombian heritage, but meant even more when she learned that the flower represents fertility.
Kali also opens up about her songwriting process, her experience collaborating with KAROL G, Peso Pluma and others on this album, what freedom means to her, her experience navigating the music industry, and her plans to continue releasing new music.

[@ogamrc]

Orquídeas is Kali’s take on latin music and she incorporated some genres that i never thought it could match with latin like disco and soul. Amazing, nothing like she’s even done but you can’t miss this is a Kali Uchis album♥️

[@priscillaaa_j]

Kali is so radiant, like a calming sun rising up over the waters. And of course, Zane has done it again. I wish he knew just how much his interviews (if we even call it that and not therapy sessions or conversations) are so appreciated. Hes gentle, he listens, and is genuine. I feel like thats so much of what Kali needs right now 🤍

[@user-un7kg8bx4z]

Vibez 4 sure🎉

[@bananaguard454]

Her speaking voice is just so soothing. Love her so much. I'm so happy for everything that's happening in her life. She deserves nothing but good.

[@user-un7kg8bx4z]

Oohhmm

[@longlivebeans]

I love how Kali doesn’t push the same “hustle hustle hustle no days off” mentality we’re constantly getting inundated with from other celebrities.

[@kerencorner]

Her music is beautiful and it manifested in her life.

[@theomarnunez893]

She’s so consistent in her art❤️

[@jennifermolinaxo]

It's so beautiful to see Latinas thriving. Her energy is so beautiful and I loved everything this interview covered. Her album message for women to know their worth, therapy, healing (because she's going to be a new momma too 🥺), her creative process, and staying real to herself and her art /passion while also challenging norms like comparing ourselves to others and overworking ourselves to exhaust. Literal diosa! Her music is so healing and also has allowed me to tap into more of my sensuality and duality of being a woman. Love this album and Kali 🥺

[@reginamoore6992]

I never get excited about pregnancy announcements but I’m so happy for herrr!!! They are gonna be amazing parents 😊💕

[@user-un7kg8bx4z]

[@m1randacastill0]

I’ve been a fan since 2012 when she released Drunken Babble & it’s so beautiful to watch her evolve not only as a creative artist, but as a woman. Her music has shaped me into the person I am today. Blessings to your family! Love you Kali! ❤️‍🔥

[@AudhamEnThaTokyo]

What a great interview! Loved the conversation. Kali is such a beautiful artist, true to herself, free, thoughtful. Her talent has no limits.

[@WKADESIGNS]

Zane is the best, you can tell he does his research every time and he's done his homework. Such a privilege as a fan of Kali's to see her here getting to talk with him.

[@user-un7kg8bx4z]

He appears to be listening and responding

[@liananicole11]

she is just glowing… i’m so happy for her and i pray for nothing but peace and love throughout her pregnancy 🩷

[@al1iii]

so amazing to see her blossom throughout these years!!

[@_enan4818]

Kali is really one of the best artists of our generation. we really are so lucky to have her. as an OG fan since i discovered her Drunken Babble mixtape and fell completely in love with Por Vida (loner is literally one my favorite songs of all time), i can’t wait to hear that record. but for now, we’re going to listen to Orquídeas non-stop. what a privilege is to listen to her music 🫶🏻

[@berryyqt]

Omg her saying she’s bring back her old soul music makes me so happy😭 her tone of voice is very dreamy especially when she dropped Isolation it has that effect but since then her voice has grown soooo much that her new KU5 album is going to be even more amazing! I’ve been a fan since she dropped her mixtape Drunken Dabble and love hearing how much her voice has grown over the years! I wouldn’t be surprised if people called her the next Selena for this Era ❤

[@Dreamgirlart]

I’ve loved Kali since I was 14 and I’m literally 24 this year so seeing her grow and flourish as I do is so inspiring. She is truly an artist and creative that transcends every from of love in her art and it’s so impactful to myself and so many of my friends ❤️ TE QUIERO KALI

[@3RACHASUPREMACY]

sameeeee 🥹🥹💕

[@user-un7kg8bx4z]

That's how I felt about Monica and Mariah

[@moonchild_luv3854]

Thank you Kali for your creativity and letting Peso experiment on “Igual que un Ángel”. It’s nice to see fellow Latin artists support each other. Mexico and Colombia have some of the best collaborations🌎

[@carlosss298]

i love his interviews he’s so respectful

[@_FernandoVilla]

I remember the first time seeing her live when she opened for Lana Del Rey for the lust for life tour back in 2018. Everyone around me didn’t know who she was and didn’t care for her music and look at her now so proud and happy for her 🥹🤍

[@sigalroman8547]

Kali doing what a certain artist said “putting out her art on an album” and the beautiful thing is the people that like her and listen to her music new or old really do “appreciate her body of work sonically and visually” the whole era. Everytime.

[@michaelsevilla3697]

kali has such a soothing calming voice and she makes such good music

[@MacP2990]

She really does such a beautiful queen❤

[@_mvchi]

So happy she had an interview with Zane. His questions are always so relevant and I love the way he feels the music you can just tell that he’s very passionate about it 🫶🏽

[@SexyLone]

So we’ll versed, voice so smooth, kali is that girl. Can’t understand a word on album and it brought tears to my eyes 💕

[@Whodatwhodatwhodatwhodat]

Dead ass been listening it to it on repeat for days 😭 don’t speak a lick of Spanish

It's so good to have an artist like Kali Uchis in the music industry nowadays, she's makes music for the arts, it's fresh innovative intoxicating dreamy she's definitely her own music Genre

She’s such a beautiful soul from when she first started to now. I’m so happy to see her grow and do so many different things especially now that she’s gonna be a mother. I’m just so happy for her

[@johnnygarcia33133]

I discovered her in 2016 along with Tash sultana. One thing about these artist that I love is that they haven't changed their sound and they have kept their core sound. They haven't bent over to main stream and actually broke into main stream being themselves

[@jimmydelarosa6617]

Orquídeas is really going to be a classic. Can’t wait for what’s to come. So happy I copped the CD😸😸💘

[@maelescott9775]

Her core fan base are Latinos, hence the loyalty and like she said, emotionally intelligent 😉 The ones who get it, get it.

Igual Que Un Ángel is my anthem for 2024 it’s been on repeat since she released the snippet 🥰 I Wish You Roses was my healing song in 2023 now Igual Que Un Ángel is my self love song ❤️ she was my #1 top artist on Spotify because of I Wish You Roses and Endlessly being on repeat all of 2023 now its still going to be the same in 2024 with this album 🤭
