Kali Uchis looks to ‘re-define’ Latinas in music with new Spanish album

LA Times  

Kali Uchis will release her fourth album, “Orquídeas,” on Jan. 12. It will be her second Spanish language album and will include her lead single, “Muñekita,” featuring Dominican dembow singer El Alfa and JT from City Girls. The teaser is set in a mossy garden; a remote control navigates through an old TV displaying the words “Kali Uchis Album 4” as Uchis’ sultry vocals play in the background. With this new Spanish album, the Grammy-winning singer hopes to “re-define the way we look at Latinas in music,” drawing inspiration from the “timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful and sensual allure of the orchid,” Uchis stated in a press release.
