"If you're listening to Folded' by Kehlani and thinking, it's so weird that I don't remember this song from 1998, there's a reason for that. It just came out. Kehlani is an R&B singer who has a tremendous amount of hits, and has for the last decade. She's a flexible singer, but maybe not the most powerful or distinctive singer. She slots pretty easily into a range of styles."
"A couple weeks ago, they put out six different remixes of this song featuring Brandy, Mario, Ne-Yo, JoJo, Toni Braxton and one of my favorite R&B singers of all time, Tank. Come pick up your clothes. These are some of the greatest R&B singers of the last 30 yesrs. That does mean that on some of these songs, Kehlani does sound like a guest on her own record."
Kehlani released a new single titled 'Folded' that channels the hip-hop soul sound of the late 1990s. The song's narrative uses the image of folded clothes to express a desire for reconciliation rather than a breakup. Kehlani has amassed many hits over the past decade and performs with flexibility across styles rather than a singularly powerful voice. Six remixes of the song were released featuring Brandy, Mario, Ne-Yo, JoJo, Toni Braxton and Tank, bringing classic R&B voices to the project. Some remixes position the guest vocalists prominently, at times making Kehlani sound like a guest on her own record. The project emphasizes nostalgic collaboration.
