Today, GRAMMY-nominated R&B star Kehlani has released “Altar”, the first new single off her highly anticipated third album Blue Water Road, which will be released later this year. The pulsing & yearnful single, produced by super-producer Pop Wansel (Nicki Minaj. Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Jessie J), is accompanied by a music video.
This track arrives on the heels of the release of Kehlani’s 2014 fan-favorite debut mixtape Cloud 19 which hit DSPs for the very first time on August 26th, for its 7-year anniversary—get it here! Cloud 19 was Kehlani’s breakout body of work which launched her incredible music career.
Most recently, Kehlani took to the stage to headline Yam Carnival Music Festival in Augustin London, and wowed the crowd with an incredible performance at Made In America Festival in September in Philadelphia, PA. Next up, she will hit Governor’s Ball in New York City on September 24th, Justin Bieber’s three-day Vegas Weekender Experience in Las Vegas on October 7th, followed by the Outside Lands festival stage in San Francisco on October 31st as a headliner.
Kehlani’s second full-length album It Was Good Until It Wasn’t has been streamed a jaw-dropping 886 Million times globally to date. It was released in May 2020 to rave reviews, debuting at #2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and #1 on the Billboard Hip-Hop & R&B chart.
Stay tuned for more new music coming soon from Kehlani.

AMNPLIFY – MP
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
