"When I found out that people on the other side are scared and they're doing it anyway...that was the moment for me."
She's someone you become obsessed with.
Yes
Truly
literally 😩
Literally, after all these years still obsessed
agree
"it's not about fearlessness...it's having the fear and doing it anyway." queeeenn. so inspiring.
this film is forever on repeat. she is so chill and soulful and conscious. the mood of this vid is so inviting. I'm really looking forward to her album!
+gevaudanbijan been obsessed with this video on repeat too. mood !!
I need a 60-90 minute version of this.
!!!
she just gets better and better and better
She really does
rocking her vetements hoodie and teasing us with new songs. love u babe
rediscovering this and falling in love with kelela all over again as I've matured, crying because this interlude video brings back such nostalgia to a time before TMA released and changed the timeline of what it meant to love music for me. I appreciate her so much as a person and seeing the crowd at her show in this video makes me remember the way life felt as a young person pre-trump and pre-COVID. I feel like that queer world is gone and the possibilities used to be endless, but now its like the possibilities are just more limited. one of the few things I'm excited for now is for kelela to bless us with her art again, and relive the feeling of the first time I heard her interlude. ❤️
Pure inspiration. Pure artist. I love u Kelela. With Raven you have unlocked further new doors sonically, artistically, lyrically. ♥️
Kelela’s opening monologue:
I’m interested in the things that we’re all thinking but that we don’t say.
The things that are going on with everybody, that we don’t really talk about.
The things in between. The interlude.
S.O.S.'s lyrics:
I’m feeling a lot of pressure
Only you can help me out
Was tryna make it easy
Now your finger's in my mouth
So, I lay and wait
I don’t take it lightly
That you’re far away
But I need it nightly
When I’m full I take another
Never been so greedy with a lover
Will you come around
Before it’s too late?
I could touch myself, bae
But it’s not the same
If you could stop and help me out
But I’ll take it slowly
There’s no use in rushing
The more I wait, the more I build up
So, you better put it down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Kelela’s dialogue with friend:
- Friend: Would you go to basketball games in your high school and stuff?
- Kelela: I was a cheerleader in my senior year.
- Friend: Shut the fuck up! Kels was a cheerleader? How odd!
- Kelela: My senior year only, though bitch. Only.
- Kelela: They’d be like… (mimics choreography).
- Kelela: It’s that type of shit.
Kelela’s monologue:
We were just talking about this the other day.
Is that a passive friendship? We are like so actively each other’s friend, we are deliberate. We don’t not have hard conversations and it’s just my life style to have difficult conversations.
I think for me it’s actually not fearlessness. It’s like having fear but like doing it anyway. Being scared is courage, you know? I used to fixate on fearlessness, though. I used to be like so obsessed with this idea that some people are fearless and that’s how they do it. The difference between the ones who did it and the ones who didn’t’ do it, whatever it is, is just that those people don’t have fear and I’m plagued with fear. That was actually what was going on in my head for long time. And that’s why I didn’t pursue music.
It’s like so much more about courage. When I found out that people on the other side are scared and that they’re doing it anyway, that was the moment for me.
It’s about coming from a venerable place.
Going through heartbreak and still be able to fall in love.
Bluff's lyrics:
I'm calling your bluff
There's no way that you really leavin'
One word, and you on the defense
I'm calling because
You already taken a beating
And all that you need is
Just a bit of this love
There you go
Holding onto something
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
Here we go
Jumping in the deep end
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong
I'm calling your bluff
I'm calling your bluff
Myself from 6 years ago, and myself now…thanks you
Vulnerable*

HOW DARE YOU NOT PUT THE NAME OF THE SONGS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. GUYS, THAT WAS MEAN. RUDE!
Kelela is perfection!
Kelela is so bae. Down to earth, amazing songstress and feels so vividly cool. I'd love to meet her in person or a concert. Real talk I need both these songs in my life.
Seen her live twice and shes just as amazing as she is i this video! Luv her! 💖💖
"It's just... my lifestyle to have difficult conversations". What a legend.
why are humans so beautiful like this
She's so beautiful
can we talk about bluff only being one minute!!! I can't its so beautiful.
she is the wind beneath my wings!
UGH I LOVE her
1:49 though - not sure if it was a vocal riff or the delay overlapping. sounds so fuckin good
Everyone the journey is complete. I have finally found the song thanks to Richard Kelly. Jupiter...it was Jupiter all along. Alright imma head out.
THAT INSTRUMENTAL AFTER THE FIRST SONG PLEASE
YOU CAN'T DO THIS
Has anyone found the track?
I feel like the song that starts at 1:51 was produced by arca. I can't wait!
I'm watching and waiting love this😍
she is a radiant goddess. i met her at her atl concert and her beauty just radiates
How did you get to meet her? #goals
First one is called "The Interlude". idk the second one. the last song is "Calling your bluff"
I love hearing the difference in this and the album’s versions. I want to hear all the different versions of all the songs it’s so amazing ⚡️☄️✨
This is insane... I wonder if Kelela knows how impactful and inspiring this is, I doubt it. I can't wait for the rest of the world to wake up to her, I just hope her talent is respected and revered the way it should be. Thank you SO MUCH for this.
Hermosa!
"Those people don't have fear, and I'm plagued with fear." Damn this hit home
we actually need music like this in the music industry. I would love to work with her

Second song is a sample from a Kindness song remixed by Jam City
Who Do You Love remix by Jam City... But it was tweaked in this vid
"I think, for me, it’s actually not fearlessness, it’s like, having fear and doing it anyway. Being scared, it’s courage, you know? I used to fixate on fearlessness though, I used to be like, so obsessed with this idea that like, um, some people are fearless and that’s how they do it. The difference between the ones who did it and the ones who didn’t do it, whatever it is, is just that those people don’t have fear, and I’m plagued with fear. That’s actually what’s going on in my head… and that’s why I didn’t pursue music. It’s like, so much more about courage. When I found out that people on the other side are scared and that they’re doing it anyway, that was the moment for me. It’s about coming from a vulnerable place."

"I'm calling your bluff
