Kehlani has reached a significant milestone in her music career with her hit single “Folded,” which has soared to number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Released on June 13, 2025, the track was initially meant to feature another artist, but those plans did not come to fruition. Instead, “Folded” showcases Kehlani’s unique artistry and has garnered international acclaim, positioning her for nominations at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in the categories of Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.
The song was crafted during a recording session in Miami, with a production team that includes notable figures such as Andre Harris, D.K. The Punisher, Don Mills, and Khris Riddick-Tynes. This collaboration has led “Folded” to become Kehlani’s most commercially successful single to date as a solo artist, surpassing other hits like Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” and Justin Bieber’s “Daises.”
In addition to the success of “Folded,” Kehlani has been teasing new music, recently posting a photo with Pharrell in the recording studio. This has sparked excitement among fans for potential upcoming projects.
Kehlani began her artistic journey as the lead vocalist of the group PopLyfe and made her solo debut with the album “SweetSexySavage” in 2017, which entered the US Billboard 200 at number three. Her growth as an artist has been remarkable, and the success of “Folded” signals a bright future ahead as she continues to evolve in the music industry. With Grammy nominations on the horizon and new music in the works, Kehlani’s fans have much to look forward to.
