Kali Uchis Is Gearing Up To Releasing Her “Sincerely: P.S.” Deluxe Album
GRAMMY®-winning global recording artist Kali Uchis released her highly anticipated single “Cry About It!” featuring Ravyn Lenae, the first taste of her upcoming “Sincerely: P.S.” deluxe album, due out September 26 via Capitol Records. Between dates on her blockbuster arena tour, Uchis was joined by Lenae to perform the new record on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Cry About It!” is now available on all streaming platforms.
After selling out back-to-back nights at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum – and one more sold-out night later this month at The Intuit Dome – Uchis delighted her fans with surprise cameos from Peso Pluma, SZA, and Steve Lacey. Across this tour, Uchis has been bringing “The Sincerely, Tour” to massive venues across the U.S. Today, she kicks off the first of two dates at Madison Square Garden. With every stop, she’s taken her fans on a multi-phase journey that starts with her recently released, deeply personal fifth album Sincerely, and travels back in time through each of her critically acclaimed albums. Uchis has been teasing “Cry about it” for some time, performing it live on tour while fans anxiously await the track’s official release.
“Cry About It!” gained a rapturous reception in L.A. from fans who’d already memorized the words via teaser clips on Kali’s socials. Over dreamy modern doo-wop and a hint of bossa nova, Uchis sings warmly, “Too bad, so sad, you should cry about it / Llora, llora, hasta que ya te deje de doler [Cry, cry, until it stops hurting] / Too bad, so sad, go cry about it.” Lenae’s vocal cuts through, adding complexity to a song that walks the line between vulnerable sympathy and biting sarcasm.
The bilingual single marks the first track on upcoming Sincerely: P.S. deluxe album, set for release later this month on September 26th. Written and executive-produced by Uchis — and arriving after her becoming a mother — Sincerely, is the Colombian-American star’s most intimate and vulnerable body of work to date. A testament to the curative power of deep love, and a stunning representation of the way Uchis romanticizes life and her inner world, the album hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and includes the singles “All I Can Say,” “Sunshine & Rain…,” and “ILYSMIH.” Rolling Stone called the set “a vulnerable meditation on motherhood and memory, adding, “It’s all there, together: love and hurt, heaven and earth, birth and loss.” Uchis spoke on the LP’s inspiration with Billboard, Marie Claire, Los Angeles Times, and Zane Lowe, among others.
Apart from making headlines with her own music, Uchis recently teamed up with Mariah the Scientist for “Is It a Crime.” Currently, “The Sincerely, Tour” — with support from the 11-piece San Diego throwback soul outfit Thee Sacred Souls — continues to dominate. By popular demand, Uchis has added a third L.A.-area date to the end of the tour.
