Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Kehlani has unveiled the long-awaited official music video for her hit summer anthem, “After Hours.” The new visual, shot at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas and directed by Amber Park, includes a special appearance by Cordel “Scatta” Burrell. His iconic “Coolie Dance Rhythm” is sampled in the track produced by Khris Riddick and Alex Goldblatt.
The groove-powered dance track has quickly proven a global sensation, now boasting nearly 20 million worldwide streams after garnering 4.6 million US streams in its first week alone, marking the strongest debut of Kehlani’s career.
“After Hours” notably marks Kehlani’s first solo release since their 2022 album Blue Water Road, a project that saw her collaborate with industry heavyweights including Justin Bieber, Jessie Reyez, Syd, Blxst, Thundercat, and Ambré.
Kehlani will open your eyes, open your mind, and open your heart. The Bay Area-born two-time Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum songstress unlocks this place anytime she picks up a pen or grabs a microphone. Since 2014, her light has only continued to glow brighter. Thus far, she has picked up over 20 gold and platinum RIAA certifications, tallied nine billion streams, and garnered a pair of Grammy Award nominations in the categories of Best Urban Contemporary Album’ for the gold-certified mixtape You Should Be Here and Best R&B Performance for the platinum single “Distraction.”
Beyond blockbuster collaborations with Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Kiana Ledé, Teyana Taylor, and Kyle, Kehlani has appeared on soundtracks such as Suicide Squad: The Album, The Fate of the Furious: The Album, and more. Along the way, she’s received the Rule Breaker Award from Billboard Women In Music and performed at Voodoo Music + More, Coachella, and beyond.
Her sophomore album, It Was Good Until It Wasn’t, bowed at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200, and concluded 2020 on over a dozen year-end lists. Kehlani welcomed everyone into the rapture of her full-length album, Blue Water Road, released via Atlantic Records. Since the album’s release, Kehlani has collaborated with several artists for a flurry of releases such as Baby Face with “Seamless,” T-Pain with “I Like Dat,” YoungBoy Never Broke Again with “My Go To,” Ali Gatie with “The Look,” and Burna Boy with “Solid.”
