The Grammy Award-winner revealed that the self-titled project, ‘Kehlani,’ will be released on April 24, a date that also marks their 31st birthday. This personal release date signifies a meaningful moment in the artist’s life and career.

A Birthday Release and Exclusive Covers

The singer took to Instagram on Tuesday, March 17, to share the news and reveal the album’s cover art. Ending their message with “k5,” Kehlani subtly indicated that this project is their fifth studio album overall. Following the initial announcement, they shared that alternate cover exclusives will be available for a limited time via kehlani.com until Friday, March 20, offering fans a special opportunity to engage with the rollout.

The upcoming LP marks a new chapter for Kehlani, following their 2024 album ‘Crash,’ which featured the Grammy-nominated single “After Hours.” Demand for new music has been high, particularly fueled by their 2025 single “Folded.”

Produced by D’Mile, “Folded” has been hailed as one of the year’s defining hits, earning Kehlani a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. The song also reached the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart and inspired the viral “Folded Challenge,” with numerous artists, including Brandy, Toni Braxton, and Mario, contributing their own renditions.
