Kehlani: CRASH, Activism & Navigating the Music Industry | Apple Music

Kehlani sits down in the studio with Dotty to talk about her new studio album CRASH. She dives in depth into the process of creating this album and the inspiration behind it. They discuss navigating relationships while being in the public eye, how songwriting has changed since coming out, and navigating what "success" means. The discussion also touches on the responsibilities that come with having a platform, and the choice to speak out.

[@sarahsheridan2700]

❤❤❤ perfectly said!!

[@ivanXD_301]

It was them saying “I’ma head ass” for me. 😂 They’re such an amazing soul. Being so emotionally and spiritually in tune with oneself.. that’s such a blessing

[@SuperBlessedKing]

Kehlani hugged me at her “Crash” album signing and she held my hands at her San Francisco, California album release party for “Crash”. 💘💘

[@redtulips23]

our activism queen. We love you Kehlani

[@VCaptures]

I've been listening and following Kehlani since 2015 when coming across her "You Should Be Here" Album. I'm reading through all the comments and can't help but tear up because the love and flowers are so well-deserved for Kehlani!

[@theunknownloverof]

Dotty is an elite interviewer! Ever interview she does is such a good pace and good temper.

[@mauhuff]

So happy she did this interview with Dotty!

[@nintenmetro]

She’s always beautiful.

[@seeayeareell]

Kehlani is and always has been a class act. As someone close in age and also beginning the mental health journey hearing her talk so freely about her experience really makes me excited to be a participant in my own life and carve out a future I want to wake up to everyday.

[@kandyh2808]

She needs to come out with a podcast WITH THAT LIGHTINGGGGGG BECAUSE ITS GIVINGGGGGG

[@sierawakefield4147]

the interviewer ate especially the way they formed the questions

[@itsurguy7756]

This woman is a totally underrated music artist. Her album is better than, Ariana, SZA,Her and others. And I like all these artist but kehlani’s engineering and production of this album is great. 👍

[@Locd4life707-yv4jj]

I have watched her since she was a teen. She truly a vocal beast. Even yhe on Americas Got Talent, she was singing live from various generes. Her new album also displays how versatile she is. Kehlani is still underrated and and deserves more credit for her artistry. She is a Bay Area Treasure! 🌉 A light in this world! So proud of this young woman!

[@edariuscavazos9516]

If they haven’t already I would love to see kehlani and Ciara collab crunk &b type music together

[@dianakhumalo6905]

love her/them so bad

[@francisw3456]

I love that Keh understands they aren't responsible for how people consume their projects, it's here-take it or leave it, PERIODT! ❤ Keh will ALWAYS BE an amazingly talented and absolutely gorgeous MF to me ❤❤

[@rheannam1699]

So well spoken. Can tell she really aligns herself with good habits and traits that benefit her life. She sets boundaries to keep her peace and happiness. Seems happier and more at peace with herself and her career ♥

[@montueswedthursfri]

Proud of Kehlani 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 a real one

[@StrangerDanger.]

This has been one of her best interviews. The interviewer was super respectful, asked great questions n kept the same pace. Kehlani is centered n sure of herself today more than she’s ever been. Her honesty is breathtaking n to me she’s exactly where she’s supposed to be career wise. She’s authentic, she’s intentional n she’s human. Definitely more than just a beautiful face but an even more beautiful person n spirit. She gets real love in the real world.. social media could never compare.

[@user-xh3yw4ef8n]

She is so honest😩💙💙

[@Moonchild.513]

So real! Not just people with platforms. But humans owe it to humans to look after eachother. Something humanity has lost

[@lakaylaallen37]

This was a GREAT interview 🤩

[@halliebirds]

14:11 UUUUUUGGGGGGGGh this was such a good question

[@veronicacobarrubio426]

Ugh she’s my absolute crush! Her voice, her energy and that face! Woooooow 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@mariamysoul]

I am SO impressed!!! Kehlani is on another level free!! I am new to her music, but in awe of her as an artist and human. The brainwashing of fame and capitalism is so powerful, and has ruined so many artists. Speaking your truth and not compromising your values and supporting Palestine is so risky in these crazy times. Thank you Dotty for this interview this is so much bigger than just music, I am surprised Apple allowed it. OUR LIBERATION IS INTERCONNECTED.

[@halliebirds]

I went to a Kehlani show last year and it was awesome but she’s not an artist I listen to a ton in my everyday life + KZbin is the only social media I use, so I didn’t know she was SO cool!!!! I looooooved this interview. What a badass

[@francisw3456]

Keh don't have to sell their soul , the talent is undeniable!

[@flrz-95]

We all love you❤🎉

[@NafisaGoga-v3z]

She's so beautiful. 😍

[@expertradesx]

I didn't know who Kehlani was and since she spoke about Palestine I found her music. Now she has a new fan ❤ I'm sure now she has more fans just because she speaks up for people.

[@MariesLuvLanguage]

This is one of my fav Lani interviews 🫶🏽

[@kevinry4n]

The best! My forever favorite 🌊

[@breegrip]

[@englishlit0171]

I love her so much , real to the bone!

[@Elena-du4bu]

Amazing interview 🌈

[@sarahsheridan2700]

I don’t know why but the second part of GrooveTheory reminds me or gives me some feeling of B2Ks Bump Bump Bump. Every time I listen to it, especially the chorus… all I hear is 🎶 I want to Grooooove baby (bump bump bump) I want to grooooove baby with you. 😂

[@blurzyfromdowntown]

oh my god i LOVE them so much Keh keep shining !!!!

[@DAPortalatin]

I freaking love Kehlani!!!!😀🔥💞

[@liss3092]

[@someonesomehow379]

KEHLANI ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME? HOW YOU DOING KEHLANI WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR ALBUM?

[@ARCHANGEL215MICHAEL]

🎲🐍🎲

[@rosymess]

[@b4stmistake]

14:40

[@b4stmistake]

18:00

[@naxp42]

I wish they'd just say "Palestine, Congo, and Sudan" instead of saying "injustice, genocide, war crimes". I wonder if Apple Music asked them to censor.

[@naxp42]

Ok nvm Kehlani just said Palestine. Thank you, Kehlani. 😭

[@naxp42]

As did Dotty!

[@clarencenkomo9182]

I love her down but this album is my least favorite out of all her albums

[@someonesomehow379]

as they said nothing is for everyone.. I definitely loved it for example.. u don't, as lani said it's subjective...

[@PsychiCorey]

Yeah babe winter sucks if u arent in California lol she talkin bout it like a tour of duty in iraq lmao
