Kali Uchis: Red Moon in Venus [Geffen]
Kali Uchis has described her new album, Red Moon in Venus, as “a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus.” It includes lead single “I Wish You Roses,” which Pitchfork’s Isabelia Herrera says conjures “the lissome ethereality of soul legend Minnie Riperton, but also the low, plangent melancholy of jazz titan Sarah Vaughan.” Read Herrera’s profile, “Welcome to Kali Uchis’ High-Femme Fantasy.”
