Album Review: Kelela - Take Me Apart

Positioning herself sweetly in the spotlight with some attention-worthy guest spots for the likes of Solange and Gorillaz, Kelela's debut seems maybe more likely to crossover to the electronic music crowd than the pop masses.

A reportedly personal record, her delivery is one of unhurried confidence, even on the articulate vulnerability of Better. But it's the depth of feeling Kelela conjures - with occasional help from Jam City - that makes her vision of R&B futureproof, particularly on the irresistibly dark single LMK and the melancholic title track that echoes like a distant storm.
