New Music: Kehlani - 'Butterfly'

After teaming up with Ty Dolla $ign, Kehlani spreads her wings on her latest single “Butterfly” off her upcoming mixtape While We Wait.

The pregnant songstress shows a vulnerable side on the stripped-down song. “Oh I feel it comin’ / Gotta rush like I’m runnin’,” she sings.

She also delivers a spoken word verse about love. “Love shouldn’t be contraband,” she says. “It shouldn’t trample on your confidence. Shouldn’t be seen as less than compliments.”

Kehlani’s 9-track mixtape While We Wait is due Feb. 22 featuring Musiq Soulchild, 6LACK, Dom Kennedy, and Ty, who appears on the Top 40 hit “Nights Like This.”

In addition to delivering new music, Kehlani is set to give birth to her first child, daughter Adeya Nomi.
