Isolation

2018 release. Isolation is Kali Uchiss debut album and features an impressive cast of featured artists and collaborators. Jorja Smith, Damon Albarn, Tame Impalas Kevin Parker, Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins, Steve Lacy, Two Inch Punch, BADBADNOTGOOD, Thundercat all appear on the American Colombians debut LP. Bookended by the airy, flute-laced Body Language, produced by Thundercat, and the immaculately orchestrated soul of Killer, recorded with The Dap-Kings in New York, it turns through R&B, on the stuttering beats and skanking guitar of Miami, punctuated by a spot from BIA, by way of popping funk on Just A Stranger, made with her previous collaborator, Steve Lacy. Theres the metronomic electro-pop tick of In My Dreams, recorded with Damon Albarn, reciprocating the two appearances Uchis made on their recent record and Tame Impalas Kevin Parker lines Tomorrow with a disco strut and melancholic synths. The mainstay influences of golden-era soul remain strong as well, here recalibrated to bemoan infidelity on Fool and rail against corporate vampires on Teeth In My Neck. The album also includes After The Storm featuring Tyler, The Creator and Bootsy Collins, which ascended to the top of Spotify Viral charts across the globe, Nuestro Planeta featuring Reykon and Tyrant featuring Jorja Smith.
