While “After Hours” is still racking up play counts like it’s training for a marathon, Kehlani has already sprinted ahead with her latest track, “Next 2 U.”
Dropping the beat on Friday (May 31), this fresh jam hit our ears just days after Kehlani made waves by calling out her fellow celebs for their radio silence on the Gaza crisis. Clearly, she’s not just singing about love – she’s showing it with action.
Taking her support for Palestine to the next level, Kehlani’s music video for “Next 2 U” doesn’t just have catchy hooks – it’s got a message, featuring multiple scenes waving the Palestinian flag like it’s auditioning for a flag-waving championship.
Over a Dixson-produced groove that’s smoother than a buttered dolphin, she croons, “You’re more than the sun, you are the sun beams / Your love is high, wide like a river.” And just when you think it can’t get any more poetic, she adds, “And if I die, I already fell in love with it / Ooh, I know what it’s like to feel like I’m dying in peace.” Move over, Shakespeare.
