Kelela has returned with a brand new offering, 'Washed Away'.
“I love a banger, but for the first point of contact out of my hiatus, it felt more honest to lead with an ambient heart-check,” Kelela explains.
The track is accompanied by a video directed by Yasser Abubeker, finding Kelela amid the elements of the Danakil Depression, which sits in the northern section of Ethiopia's Afar region.
Kelela explains: “I specifically want to speak to marginalized Black folk and highlight the work we do to find renewal in a world that’s built to make us feel inadequate. This song is the soundtrack to the relief we find after going inward.”
