Kali Uchis – Isolation LP (Blue Vinyl) For Sale

Interscope Records commemorates the five year anniversary of Kali Uchis debut album Isolation with a colored vinyl LP reissue. Hop scotching effortlessly between myriad genres, Uchis mellifluous vocals shifting from sassy to angry, sultry to stinging, it s the sound of a musician coming fully, and gloriously, into her own. Shaped with a perfectionist s touch over two years, Isolation is an open journal of an album, one that maps moments of self-discovery in song. It builds on the classic pop and doo-wop blueprint of her Por Vida EP, to fully realize Uchis s sound, aided by an impressive cast of guests. Bookended by the airy, flute-laced Body Language, and the immaculately orchestrated soul of Killer, it turns through R&B, on the stuttering beats and skanking guitar of Miami, and the post-apocalyptic love song Tyrant, by way of popping funk on Just A Stranger. Taken as a whole, the record doubles as both sleek, immaculate soul and Uchis battlecry against the small-town cynicism she encountered growing up in Virginia. Upon release, Isolation received widespread praise from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NME and more and has since been certified gold by the RIAA.
