Kehlani isn’t holding back on her highly awaited new single “Folded” available everywhere now via Atlantic Records.
The multi-platinum, two-time Grammy-nominated singer channels raw emotion into one of her most direct and vulnerable records to date. Delivered with her unmistakable vocal softness, the track finds Kehlani doing what she does best—turning emotional turmoil into melody without ever losing her edge.
This isn’t your typical breakup song. “Folded” feels like the moment you stop begging, waiting and hoping and start reclaiming your peace. She’s done with the conversation, done with the excuses. “Your clothes are folded, come get them while the door’s still open,” she sings with quiet conviction—no screaming, no chaos, just clarity and directness..
The production stays smooth and simple, giving Kehlani room to breathe between the lines. There’s a weight to her tone, but also a freedom in her delivery—as if saying it out loud is part of her healing. It’s bold, honest, and unmistakably hers.
With “Folded,” Kehlani gives us a front-row seat to the kind of emotional maturity that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. The message is clear: this chapter is over, and she’s not folding under the weight of it.
