- Опубліковано 15 лют 2018
- Kali Uchis first captivated the industry with her music video production skills and 2013 mixtape 'Drunken Babble.' With a fresh sound that mixes old-school soul vocals and R&B beats, the Colombian singer caught the attention of hip-hop artists such as Snoop Dogg and Tyler, The Creator. Uchis has since built a resume of additional collaborations with Tyler, Miguel, and Latin music superstar Juanes. She also grabbed her first Grammy nomination this year for Best R&B Performance, as a feature on Daniel Caesar’s track “Get You.”
Uchis' latest hit is the retro-sounding and smooth single “After The Storm,” featuring Tyler and funk legend Bootsy Collins. Racking in over 6 million streams on UA-cam, the song tackles themes of survival and inner conflict. Uchis also references her own personal difficulties of living U.S., far away from her Colombian family members.

she sang this acapella and it still sounded beautiful as shit, pure talent.
Yes indeed!!!
Facts
@@jasmineberry1292 this is more of a statement then a fact also acapella is basically just singing it without instrument so it's really no big deal
@@shithead33 ok .. .....I agree with the statement.....🙄....but it is a big deal because its so many people that sound horrible Acapella......so leave me to my opinion please
and facts is a slang term of saying I agree with you.....that's how I talk when I'm on social media...so let me be....but for one second don't think I'm uneducated.
"Everybody wants overnight success..for what? Overnight success is limited and its not timeless." Damn
she’s amazing!
That's actually true 👌🏼
Woah if Kali worked with frank ocean..... A cultural reset
We ain’t ready for that energy
This aged well
Odd Against us lol why you pressed about other peoples beliefs? wtf
@@bobnelson7105 he literally said not to be rude and you being sensitive. If your referring to him an not somebody else
@@lilyp396 Kali, Tyler, and Childish Gambino.
This whole video gave me better advice than my therapist dead ass. Ily queen
Mood
Mood me and my therapist have the driest convos.
Your therapist isn't supposed to give you advice lol
@@Marinaaduran ?
@@Marinaaduran if your therapist isn’t giving you advice you gotta get a new therapist lmao
I was in such a depressed state for months because things werent going the way I wanted. But after hearing this song, Kali basically came to me and told to “stop feeling down, get up and do something”. This song has been on repeat since then.
bryce atu that’s awesome 😎
bryce atu I know what you mean sometimes you have to hear these words regardless of where they come from
I’ve been listening to this song every morning, it’s just a good positive message :)
She helped me a lot with this song. I even had a tattoo.
Me right now, been in a really bad state of depression and been fucked over by everyone lately but this song bagged me a new body in fitness and a degree and career 😁😁
this song is a fucking bop. And Tyler’s “im the hottest flower boy that popped up on the scene” gets me everytime
wigflew SAME
wigflew yessss
wigflew I swearrrrr
Forrealllll
wigflew GIRL UNO
I wish Tyler was in here so I can hear the. “ Kali whatchu mean”🥺😭
I take it offensive 'cause I'm the hottest flower boy that popped up on the scene.
@@McPhink feeling better, better then ever because ur umbrella-brella
@@dace6 sun is beaming on me like headlights beaming on bambi.
@@McPhink now let’s pretend the street is the room and you are a camry
@maryam ! the Tito to my randy
“We are all born alone”
Twins: I’m I a joke to you
lol im a twin thats literally what i thought
Im a twin, this resonated with me too much
Madi's cool tips same
You’re still born alone...1 comes before the other.
im a triplet…
She's trying really hard to be serious because i feel like irl she is really goofy and funny and I love her for that. Best artist ever.
O V E R G R O W N. i remember sza saying in an interview tht kali uchis is most sweestest, hilarious person, so yea she def is goofy and funny!
O V E R G R O W N. She's being professional
Justine Lane true but some other artists on this channel are less serious
probably cause the topics of the song bring up some serious topics so shes trying to give that vibes as well. i actually quite like it haha
U feel like... projection like that gets ppl thinking celebs are their friend, be careful
Her second appearance. They finally giving time to ICONSSSS
superflyhunny I know
superflyhunny Tyler’s turn
Kali will never be an icon.
Icon?
ranon nugent to you
She’s officially my new therapist
Omg i literally just told myself this 😭🤣
Fr
shes my mommy
She is so smart. I love how she says if you got yourself out of a bad situation, it's easy to criticize others for not doing the same, but it's not that easy for everybody. So much evil would not exist if only the world would listen to that wonderful bit of advice. Damn, you are that bitch. What a genius.
there’s something about a singer who sounds exactly the same on the track recording as they do singing a cappella. Her music gives of such positive energy, she deserves more recognition
Sasha I saw her live a few months ago and she was literally per.fect. Live. Every note, every run, every high note, she was just perfect, really made me proud and happy to support such a talented young woman 🌷
ah you're so lucky!
Sasha YES REAL talent
Her and childish gambino should do a song together
I'm for it
YESS
Yessssssssssssssss
OH GOSh YESS
bro, I'd jack off to that alone.
She reminds me of Alexa Demie from Euphoria and vice versa
they're really close friends in real life
Mackenzie Ferg there best friends in real life 🥺
IK I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT
Mackenzie Ferg lol “reminds” you she walked so she could run 🤍✨
it's like the way they talk i think
This song actually saved my life no joke.
so proud of you bby,you’re loved and you’re amazing :)
love to read this
Glad your still here girl I’m sorry you ever felt like that😔❤️
Ruby Flores should’ve jumped, ure legit 12 tf u on abt
A person Gang damn why tf are u so negative, like r u okay?
the song was so damn smooth.....
it really is. i had it on repeat when i first heard it.
Her voice is making me not wanna talk
What😭😭😭😭😭
After the storm helped and is helping with my depression and motivates me to not give up. Life is hard and that song makes me realise time is a gift, but you choose what to do with it. Don't let a bad day ruin your week, stay up and just make the next day a better one. Peace and love y'all!
💖
This song really means something to everyone it's powerful as fuck
Friend: *breathes*
Me: 2:15
BRUH I LOVE THIS
that's so sweet
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂📤🔊
Jane Doe teala to Emma 💀
Jane Doe lol me to my bff
“i look strong to you? it must be a crazy facade” meeeeee
abby rose shut up
Salamander Cinema lmao what
shut the fuck up
Adam Jones well this is just a hostile environment
lol tf is wrong with you people? all she said was "meeee"
I fucking love her attitude towards success at the end. Those are some really inspiring words right there.
hahhaa i was thinking the same
"The babies are teenagers now and it's like, damn, I missed out on your whole life" this actually hit so hard it felt like a punch in the gut
As an Immigrant, I relate to this painfully hard.
She’s so authentic, calm/chill, honest, wise, & drama free, wow that’s rare nowadays with celebrities.
She's a genuine good person I love her
she’s so fucking beautiful, literally glowing
Eve it's the makeup making her glow lmao but yeah i agree she's so fucking beautiful. I hate how underrated she is. She needs to blow up
Makup and lighting make her GLOW, but she's still fine
Fuck up
Eve makeup
GGG JJJ did you really need to bring up that she's wearing makeup? if you actually liked her you wouldn't bring her down like that. she's beautiful. shut the fuck up
UGH HER VOICE IS SO PRETTY
RIGHTT
"Kali what you mean??"
I take it offensive cuz im the hottest flower boy to ever pop up on the scene
Faith Rodriguez Feelin better better than ever
Foreign Lovelust Cause your umbrella, brella
Kevaun McClorrine sun is beaming on me like headlights beaming on Bambi
Ayvah Marie now let’s pretend like the street is a room and you are a Camry.
Y'all ever been sexually attracted to a voice?
Yes, now!
Hers and Daniel Cesar
You know Karen from spongebob?
Greg González 😍👌
Morgan Freeman
Her voice is so soothing
“Just because you’re losing at the time doesn’t mean you’re losing yet”
So relatable 2:14-2:32 i feel like the only way to succeed in life is to be a loner and your own best friend. Its lonely but thats the reality
Jesussss.....I been contemplating of dropping my toxic bff and I guess this was a sign... Thanks
that’s a dumb mentality
@@whatever8817 did you?
@@hiyorioh Yeah I did, but after the third person in our group saw what happened she felt like we needed to get back together so we did, the toxic friend in question got more "mature" but still idk my doubts about him are in the back of my mind and that side of him too.
@@whatever8817 leave leave
you deserve a good life. Don’t waste your years being with someone who brings you down. You’ll regret it when you’re older. Make the choice now
my god even when she’s not singing her voice is magical
2:47 "isolation" OMG SHE TOLD US THE NAME OF THE ALBUM
She said solidarity first sooooo.....
Jake Vaud I think she probably meant “solitude” but was nervous or something lol
Alright guys Kali Uchis is over we can go home now
Fucking Chump lmao what?
Fucking Chump why tf ?
*IF YOU NEED A HERO, JUST LOOK IN THE MIRROR !!!*
Damn, kali truly just saves me. Im working at popeyes and its just so tirying and i seriously just wanr to give up on everything. I feel so lonely, my own family doesnt understand me for who i am and how god made me. And it frustrates that its my own family man. Im living alone and my best friend gave up on me. Im really going through it, im just so damn tired of everything. Kali, thank u. Even tho im alone, i can just enjoy myself being alone and enjoy music. I love u
same man, i hope ur doing ok and u can do it
you are worthy of love that loves you exactly as you are.. I hope you know that. Hang in there, I'm rooting for you. There's lots of lonely and lost souls out there but eventually we will find our way. We have to. We're all alone together. :)
best of luck man. I root for you
i wish u the very best ❤️
❤❤❤
This woman is good vibes personified.
Thank you Kali...her music always put me in a good mood 🌞 AND HER VOICE IS SO SOOTHING OMF
your such a fucking werido LeBeautiful what kind of name is that.
dont disrespect the king
LeBeautiful bruh I liked Ur comment cuz facts but mostly cuz of yo profile pic and name ahhaha
nigga i see you on every NBA video, what is you doin here 😂
Daniel serebour stop being so disrespectful
Rare when an artist comes on here and their voice sounds better than the actual album recording. Kali is just.... wonderful.
this is gonna get lost in the comments but I love this song. I remember so vividly 2 years ago sitting at home, scrolling through UA-cam when this came up on my recommendations. it was the first song I had heard from Tyler and Kali, and here I am, 2 years later, listening to the same song.
introverted icon
She is a mesmerizing human being so beautiful her face is perfectly sculpted
Ye got lucky
She hit the genetic lottery perfect voice, face, and body 😭😭😭
Its crazy how amazing she sounds
She’s so beautiful, don’t even need autotune tho
I like her, she has such a chill and introspective vibe. I agree with a lot of things she is saying.
I luv her and Tyler with my whole ass heart
belle same they’re so talented
Sameeee
She’s literally a real life Maddie from euphoria.
why did this feel like a therapy session
Her explanation of isolation is exactly what I believe.
She’s dope, her whole attitude is dope! I’m a fan
If Kali, Jhene, or Sza ever hop on a track together... Play it at my funeral, I don't care if they sing about ramen noodles just play it! 😂😂💜🔥🔥
"overnight success is limited and it's not timeless"
I love this human being..
3:37 thats what I needed to hear most 😔 This song came to me a little before I needed to really believe in the message of it
Kali seems so cool and chill! Her music is always a vibe and she inspires me to be more creative and eccentric.
um... I think I love her
she’s literally one of the few people who actually sound AMAZING in these interviews
Queen of being on a second time
Kali watchu mean?
i take it offensive cuz im the hottest flower boy to ever pop up in the scene
feeling better better than ever
Bianka Bilan cause your umbrella brella (brella light)
sun is shining on me like headlights shining on bambi
Can I get a kiss ? Can you make it last forever 😩
She’s seems soo genuine. This is such a good song with deep meaning, truly a master piece
“Just because your loosing at the time, doesn’t mean you’re a loser yet”
Ching up everyone and play some Kali for your soul
When she first started singing I felt a wavee of emotions. She barely put any effort but still had so much power
*I just want to protecc and respecc her with all my heart and soul*
Emilio, one year later still big facts, dead on this hill.
I'm so glad she opened for Lana. I never would have discovered her if she hadn't
Everytime I feel like giving up, this song pops up in my head and makes me keep pushing.
“Winners don't quit”
That's it.
@ 3:20 that mentality i see so often. Its not easy for everybody. I'm glad she still holds that stance after becoming successful.
i can’t wait for her to find amazing success, she deserves it
She always remind me of Amy Winehouse
exactly! thought it was just me!
Yepp
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Me too 🙏🏼
Young Rico yes
I love her speaking voice, it’s so beautiful
Not going to lie but this strong woman helped me in dark times
the bridge at 4:00 is the greatest part, listen to that over and over
DubsAndWubs FActsss
Wo
Bridge u should jump😂😂
I’d marry the shit out of kali,she way too beautiful
Tha Swami i still dont know why she'll like that nigga. He must of said some mighty fine shit to her 2 like him.
NOOBYX SMKM confidence & knowing what to say... That can be enough

Kali confirmed woke
Defiant Badger yep

But actually pretty. Gaga is ugly af.
Trill Maverick Gaga is pretty. Shut up.
Trill Maverick Gaga is pretty
Tyler Francis what’s this thing with people calling white hispanics brown? She’s not brown. A “black” person is brown not light hispanics they’re beige or tan if anything
I just heard this song fully for the first time today and now it's on repeat, and I'm just.... wow. Like no one makes music with... wholesome inspirational lyrics? It just feels fun and catchy with the R&B/funk vibes, but also is giving me a little hope at the same time. Just wow. And at the point where I am in my life, I really needed to hear it.
Kali what you mean? I take it offensive cause im the hottest flower boy that popped up on the scene
Dapper feeling better, better than ever
Cus your umbrella brella brellaaaa
Sun is beaming on me like headlights beaming on Bambi
Now let's pretend the street is the room, and you are a camry
Now let’s produce some thrillers my chocolate wit yo vanilla uh
Kali "dadadada" Uchis
lol gaaaaahh she's gorgeous
This song reminds me to keep trying and keep moving forward no matter how many times life knocks me down. Crazy how music can do that for you.
she said its not that easy for everyone to get out of the tough situations :[ hearing someone with fame say that makes me melt.
huh??? are you saying youre upset at her? Because we don't know what she's been through to get to now in her life to be successful
Don't know why but she reminders me of Amy Whinehouse.
Petro The singing voice
She kinda looks like her
It's that eye makeup
She looks nothing like Amy winehouse ur fuckin stupid bro Amy winehouse is ugly AF
Branson Benson
They look pretty similar, so therefore you're calling kali ugly too
Yasmin Bratz Doll 🛍

Kali is a blessing from God. She's perfect to listen to anytime.
honestly she gave me so much advice. I love her for using her lyrics to help people realize things some people are facing.
this women is the love of my life
I honestly didn’t even know Bootsy Collins was still alive lol but not only that, he uses twitter too?! 😂

I really wanted to hear her song the ending “Try, Try, Tryyyyyyyyy” goodNESS I didn’t know her voice was so pure acapella
I’ve known this song for awhile and it’s been sticking with me. Right now shits tough, after the storm always makes me feel better. ❤️ thank you
This song is helping me cuz I’m going through self isolation
Kali Uchis ASMR
She’s so 🔥
This song has got me through a lot. I lost my son a few weeks before it came out. And the "no one's gonna save you now so you gotta save yourself everybody's hurting and everybody's going through it" part was on loop. I really almost took my life away. Keep making music like this Kali
"overnight success is limited and it's not timeless..." 🌟

mcmichael3 2Wait. So I have listened to some of her songs and I loved the one she was in with Tyler and slso this song too! On wiki it doesnt mention her ever releasing an album? Is this true??? Hasnt she been a professional singer for a long while?
