Raven will also feature the previously released “Happy Ending” and “Washed Away.” Production on the album comes primarily from LSDXOXO and ambient duo OCA with Kelela and Asmara acting as co-executive producers across the project.

“I started this process from the feeling of isolation and alienation I’ve always had as a black femme in dance music, despite its Black origins,” Kelela says in a statement. “Raven is my first breath taken in the dark, an affirmation of Black femme perspective in the midst of systemic erasure and the sound of our vulnerability turned to power.”
