Kehlani is making a powerful return with her upcoming album, Crash, set to drop on June 21. This release marks her first full-length project since the 2022 hit album Blue Water Road

Kehlani, widely known for hits like "Nights Like This," ended a brief hiatus this April by gifting fans with "After Hours," a vibrant summer anthem.

On May 15, Kehlani took to social media to officially announce Crash, sharing the album’s stunning cover art. The cover features the singer atop a wrecked red car, donning a metallic two-piece set with mermaid cut-out pants and a silver-studded bra.

Crash follows Kehlani's previous chart-topping album, Blue Water Road, and is her first studio album in over two years. With her groovy "After Hours" track already making waves, Kehlani's return has been nothing short of spectacular.
