Her performance is both poised and intimate, drawing listeners in from the first note. \u201cLove On Credit\u201d follows as a shimmering R&amp;B-pop statement, equal parts timeless and contemporary. Built on sleek, minimal production, it provides the perfect backdrop for Kali\u2019s signature sultry tone to shine. Her honeyed vocals glide between layered harmonies that add warmth and depth, while lyrically she reflects on the instability of love built on shaky ground. With a balance of strength and vulnerability, she poses the question, \u201cwhy can you never tell from the start?\u201d, a line that encapsulates the familiar ache of investing in something that won\u2019t last.<\/p>\n<p>The title track, \u201cHow I Feel\u201d, featuring Moelogo, is rich with emotion and gorgeous harmonies. Moelogo\u2019s smooth, resonant tone beautifully complements Kali\u2019s delicate softness as they sing of a love too strong to conceal or resist, even when fear lingers beneath the surface.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y6AWFUsnnSQ?si=ADXez3s-tZvcuj57\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithdrawal Symptoms\u201d follows as a heartfelt ode to the kind of connection that makes life feel fuller, and the ache that comes with its absence. It\u2019s an elegant nod to classic R&amp;B, showcasing Kali\u2019s expressive phrasing and soulful delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Energy rises on \u201cFever\u201d, featuring Skiifall, where futuristic backing vocals and syncopated percussion create an infectious groove. Kali\u2019s catchy lyricism and rhythmic flow dance effortlessly across the beat, offering a fresh, forward-thinking moment in the tracklist. Closing the EP \u201cWeak\u201d opens with sweeping, cinematic strings that immediately set a reflective tone before UK Garage percussion injects urgency and movement.<\/p>\n<p>The interplay of vulnerability and rhythm perfectly frames Kali Claire\u2019s silky, emotive vocals as she explores the tension between distance, ambition, and love. It\u2019s a soulful, dance-ready reflection on missing someone while chasing your dreams, a fitting conclusion to an EP that\u2019s as introspective as it is dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>With How I Feel, Kali Claire delivers her most cohesive and compelling body of work yet, vulnerable yet self-assured, and sonically captivating from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4SsAzqjIJvvbq3NA4E3UNL?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Talking on the EP, Kali tells us: \u201c\u201cHow I Feel\u201d pretty much sums me up \u2014 my mood runs the show. If I wake up feeling like Beyonc\u00e9, I\u2019m smashing the gym. If I wake up feeling like a potato\u2026 well, maybe not. This project is a collection of all those moods and emotions, the highs, the lows, the in-betweens. I created the project everywhere \u2014 London, Bali, LA, even Vietnam on a solo trip where I reminded myself that I\u2019m actually living my purpose (even if I was lost at the time). Those experiences, plus some life curveballs, really taught me that time is short, so why not spend it chasing joy, making happiness, and living fully? When you press play, I don\u2019t mind what you feel \u2014 I just hope you feel something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Renowned for her rich, soulful vocals and raw, unapologetic lyricism, Kali Claire has steadily carved out a lane of her own in the UK music landscape. Singles \u201cWeak\u201d and \u201cLove On Credit\u201d have garnered support from the likes of WONDERLAND, GRM DAILY, and ONES TO WATCH, further building on the momentum of her critically acclaimed EP A Man\u2019s World. Featuring standout tracks like \u201cTemporary Feels,\u201d \u201cBad Habits,\u201d \u201cWild,\u201d and \u201cDisrespekt,\u201d the project culminated in a sold-out headline show at The Grace in North London, a defining moment that cemented her arrival as a major force in live music. Since then, Kali has continued to evolve, releasing a string of emotionally resonant singles including \u201cWeather Woman,\u201d \u201cSatellite,\u201d and the captivating \u201cWhole New Wardrobe\u201d which she released earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Kali\u2019s influence stretches far beyond her own discography. She co-wrote \u201cWasted Energy\u201d on Alicia Keys\u2019 Grammy-winning 2020 album Alicia and has collaborated with an elite roster of artists and producers including Venna, Mabel, Not3s, Swag Did It, P2J, Arrow Benjamin, and Legendary Beatz.<\/p>\n<p>With over 30M streams to her name and prominent features across BBC 1XTRA, NOTION, THE LINE OF BEST FIT, and more, Kali Claire has firmly established herself as one of the UK\u2019s most exciting and versatile emerging artists. She\u2019s supported Mabel on the High Expectations tour and shared the stage with icons like Tinie Tempah and MNEK at the GRM Awards.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the highly anticipated release of her brand-new EP How I Feel, Kali Claire continues the momentum of her defining breakthrough year.<\/p>\n<p>How I Feel is available now <a href=\"https:\/\/onerpm.link\/HIF-KaliClaire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via all major platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connect with Kali Claire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_kaliclaire\/?locale=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/21S3j7WjnZmXyhXrNif84x?si=_lavkOoZQZm28hZfiQ_AHw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kaliclaire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/KaliClaire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening the EP, \u201cPlatonic\u201d sets the tone with a sparse, vocal-driven arrangement that spotlights Kali Claire\u2019s remarkable range and effortless control.
