“The letter manifesto of a woman to the world”
This is one of the greatest album released this year: it’s dreamy, it’s introspective but also really current for that. Kali Uchis describes rationally, comprehends the world outside, and not finding her place, she creates it: she’s escaping a world full of injustice, uglyness, lack of love and empathy, to find that the only place suitable for herself and -mostly importantly- her newborn child is, a world full of her mind, her sensitivity, her freedom, her love and so she creates a new place that it’s the opposite of the outside one, and that is closed, secure, ethereal, because it lives rent free inside herself.
The visuals- as well as the sounds- reflects the rejection of the present-day and the need to live in her introspection: lace, lingerie, sultry fabric, in an abstract bedroom are all symbols of something very intimate, something feminine and personal that - in this case- assume the concrete form of the perfect place to take refuge especially with a newborn child.
The sounds as well as the visuals, avoid the present, to go in the past: there are clear references to the 50s, that give us a sentimental sense of certainty, calm, love and of course sincerity. It can be seen also a deep connection with all the Lana Del Rey first works -for the sound and the representation of introspection and selfless love that in this case Kali Uchis expresses towards her child - through all the album and in particular in the song “silk lingerie” which is very very similar to “yayo”.
In general this album is a letter to society that reflects not only the needs of a mother, who wants a better world for her child, but the feeling of an entire generation of feminist people, who demand to live in more rightful, empathetic and peaceful world, in which we can all live Sincerely,.
