“Hot girls listen to Kelela” was the general consensus on TikTok last week when a clip of Solange singing along at one of the US singer’s gigs went viral. Following her performance at HERE at Outernet last Friday night (and having witnessed said crowd), I can confirm: hot girls do in fact listen to Kelela.
For the London leg of her world tour, 39-year-old LA-based Kelela emerged on stage wearing a backless leather gown from London designer ASAI’s autumn/winter 2023 collection, complete with nunchucks and long, leather gloves. “This sh*t sold-out in one day. I feel like I’m really with people who f*ck with me” she told the crowd, getting emotional as she thanked them for keeping faith in her following a six year break, “I’ve been gone for a minute, I dipped out and dipped back in.”
