“After The Storm” is another appetizer from Kali Uchis’ highly-anticipated debut album, Isolation, released on April 6, 2018. The smooth and sultry R&B track features Uchis’ frequent collaborator Tyler, The Creator and funk legend, Bootsy Collins. It was produced by BADBADNOTGOOD.
The Colombian singer first mentioned her wish to work with Collins in an interview with Billboard Magazine in 2015. She later confirmed that her dream came true, telling Noisey:
He just reached out to me. I got to go and meet his whole family; they live on a ranch in Ohio. I stayed in this hotel across the street from them and we were together every day, it was so much fun.
“After The Storm” is a delicate, dreamy and sexy empowering song. It shows Kali Uchis’ strength and ambition and references several times songs from Tyler, The Creator’s latest album, Flower Boy, on which the singer was featured.
The cover art may take inspiration from Thundercat’s Drunk album, which also shares a similar 70s funkadelic sonic.
On March 14 2018, Kali performed “After The Storm” during her first late-night TV performance on The Tonight Show. The live rendition included Tyler, The Creator and The Roots, who serves as the show’s house band.
