Lia Kali - Kaelis - LP

Vinyl Edition.

In ‘Kaelis’, Lia Kali takes a leap into the heavens to embrace the uncertainty of the future from a present that ambivalently navigates between success, purity, silver, or love and turbulence, fear, vertigo, frustration, and death

Lia Kali recorded ‘Kaelis’ slowly but with the flame permanently lit, throughout 2024 and in urgent, ongoing combination with the nearly 60 concerts on both sides of the Atlantic that have made up the second year of the promotional tour for her debut album. With her trusted producer Toni Anzis present at every session, from the Altiplano of Granada to the neighborhood of La Verneda in Barcelona, passing through the Vall d’en Bas and finally wrapping up in Burbank, Los Angeles, California, where Rance Dopson has finally joined the team, the mastermind and musical director of the legendary and award-winning American musical collective “1500 or Nothing” (Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg...). In this way, ‘Kaelis’ has been a journey in and from its creation: long, exciting, full of different scales and skies, and by no means exempt from the turbulence, vertigo, and fears that come with the desire to fly high. ‘Kaelis’ takes over from the debut ‘Contra Todo Pronóstico’, an urgent collection of pieces born during lockdown with which the Barcelona singer let go and let it all go: “there you have it, here is mine, I needed to sing it.” In the new album Lia Kali doesn’t hold back either, but there is a new perspective in which the artist, without losing an ounce of her charismatic singing and storytelling style, seems to sing from a more reflective point of view and of acceptance of life. Although make no mistake, ‘Kaelis’ is also peppered with sharp words, with unerring darts, with guts and heart, and it is entirely enveloped by an artistic impression 100% Lia Kali’s signature style, which is none other than making us instantly connect with our fears and longings through the boldness of her songs and the overwhelming nature of her emotions. In the same way that the sky houses all the lights and, at the same time, the darkness is only dotted by the winding glow of stars and planets, in ‘Kaelis’ there is also room for play and the implicit fun of making music, and there is space for pieces that seamlessly integrate the codes and styles of the moment, giving the collection of songs an inescapable taste that brings the album closer to mainstream pop. Lia Kali takes flight in this second album of hers and touches and sings her skies in ‘Kaelis’ in an exercise that radiates courage and talent, inviting us to participate in the journey and to lift our eyes and take flight in our own particular skies while we hear her sing. And it has been a long time since so many people had happened to us at once when someone sang.
