The sultry new visual heats up summer
Multi-platinum-certified singer-songwriter Kehlani has shared the sultry official music video for her new hit single, “Folded” via Atlantic Music Group.
“Folded” currently boasts over 20.6 million worldwide streams with more than 10.3 million in the US alone, earning 5.7 million US streams in its first week of release to make history as the largest first-week solo debut of the star’s career thus far (surpassing “After Hours,” which amassed 4.1 million streams in the week following its debut last year).
Produced by Khris Riddick-Tynes (who previously collaborated with Kehlani on 2024’s Grammy Award-nominated hit single, “After Hours”), Andre Harris (Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige), Donovan Knight (Justin Bieber, Jill Scott), and Don Mills (J. Cole, Juice Wrld), “Folded” continues what has proven a triumphant late spring for the critically acclaimed Kehlani, following a bold, breathtaking appearance at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas which saw her acclaimed by WWD for her shimmering, sinuous fashion as well as two prominent nominations at the BET Awards 2025, including “Best Female R&B/Pop Artist” and “Video of the Year” (for “After Hours”).
The Bay Area-born five-time Grammy Award-nominated and multi-platinum-certified 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 more than 20 gold and platinum RIAA certifications, amassed over five billion streams, and garnered five top Grammy Award nominations. Beyond blockbuster collaborations with Cardi B, Post Malone, and Eminem, Kehlani has appeared on soundtracks such as Suicide Squad: The Album and The Fate of the Furious: The Album. She received the Rule Breaker Award from Billboard Women In Music and performed at Voodoo Music and Coachella, among others.
