Kaelis CD

CD digipak edition.

With 'Kaelis,' Lia Kali proposes a leap to the heavens to embrace the uncertainty of the future from a present that ambivalently traverses between success, purity, money, or love, and turmoil, fear, vertigo, frustration, and death.

Lia Kali recorded 'Kaelis' slowly but with the flame permanently lit throughout 2024, in urgent and constant combination with the almost 60 concerts on both sides of the Atlantic that made up the second year of her debut album's presentation tour. With her trusted producer Toni Anzis present at all sessions, from the Altiplano of Granada to the Verneda neighborhood of Barcelona, passing through Vall d'en Bas and finishing in Burbank, Los Angeles, California, where Rance Dopson, alma mater and musical director of the legendary and award-winning American musical collective "1500 or Nothing" (Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg...), finally joined. Thus, 'Kaelis' has been a journey from its very creation: long, exciting, full of different stops and skies, and by no means exempt from the turbulence, vertigo, and fears that come with the desire to fly high. 'Kaelis' takes over from her debut 'Contra Todo Pronóstico,' an urgent collection of pieces conceived during lockdown with which the Barcelona singer let loose and spilled everything: "there it is, here's my stuff, I needed to sing it." In the new album, Lia Kali doesn't hold back either, but there's a new perspective where the artist, without losing an ounce of her charismatic style of singing and storytelling, seems to sing from a more reflective and accepting point of view. But make no mistake, 'Kaelis' is also full of sharp words, accurate darts, raw emotions, and it is entirely permeated by an artistic impression that is 100% Lia Kali's trademark: making us instantly connect with our fears and desires through the power of her songs and the overwhelming nature of her emotions. Just as the sky holds all lights and, at the same time, darkness only dotted by the winding glow of stars and planets, 'Kaelis' also hints at a place for play and the implicit fun of making music, and there is room for pieces that seamlessly integrate the codes and styles of the moment, giving the collection of songs an undeniable taste that brings the album closer to mainstream pop. Lia Kali takes flight in her second album and touches and sings her skies in 'Kaelis' in an exercise that exudes courage and talent, inviting us to participate in the journey and to raise our gaze and flight to our particular skies as we hear her sing. And it's been a long time since so many people at once felt that way when someone sings.
