Kehlani marks her birthday, April 24, 2026, with the release of her fifth studio album, the self-titled KEHLANI.
Often a signal of an artist laying everything bare, a self-titled project tends to carry a deeper sense of identity—and KEHLANI follows that tradition. The album presents her in a raw, unguarded space, weaving deeply personal narratives through the rich, genre-fluid sound that has defined her place at the forefront of contemporary R&B.
The rollout was led by a trio of standout singles, including “Folded,” a record that quickly became a cornerstone moment in her catalogue. The track earned widespread acclaim, picking up multiple major accolades—including two GRAMMY® wins for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance—alongside recognition from the iHeartRadio Music Awards and nominations across the NAACP Image Awards and American Music Awards, where it was also in the running for Song of the Year.
