June’s Crash, which features Jill Scott, Young Miko and Omah Lay, did even better; peaking at Number 2 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums chart. “For a long time, I’ve been not afraid of how I’ve been perceived musically, but I had a lot of being very apologetic in my personhood, for who I am, for anything I’ve done, for anything I had to be corrected on for any way I’ve shown up in the world,” Kehlani tells Essence. “In this album specifically, I am just gonna talk and not hold back.
