Kali Uchis’ Por Vida Premieres At Pitchfork

KALI UCHIS’ POR VIDA OUT FEBRUARY 4,  

 STREAMING NOW ON PITCHFORK

“Kali…dives deep into the lowrider subculture of 1960s California, then samples and references the sweet soul that soundtracked it…all looped under pensive, lucid lyrics about love and loss. It’s mature for a girl born in ’94.—The Fader

Por Vida, the new project from singer and producer Kali Uchis, is now streaming via Pitchfork, listen here. The project will be available tomorrow, February 4, exclusively via kaliuchis.com. The latest track from the release, “Lottery” recently premiered on Vogue.com, watch it here.

21-year-old Uchis was born and raised in Colombia and is now based in Alexandria, VA and Los Angeles. After writing, producing, recording and releasing her 2013 mixtape Drunken Babble in 48 hours, Uchis caught the attention of the likes of Snoop Dogg and Tyler, The Creator. In the months since, Uchis’ connections and collaborations have resulted in Por Vida and the evolution of her signature sound, something she calls “lowrider soul.”
