Kehlani’s debut album SweetSexySavage will be released under Atlantic Records on Jan. 27, 2017, according to the R&B musician’s Twitter page.
The album artwork features the 21-year-old in front of a pink cloud backdrop, holding her topless body in a tasteful manner. The clouds seem to follow the trend of similar backgrounds Kehlani has used for her previous EPs, Cloud 19 and the Grammy-nominated, You Should Be Here.

“As women we are told that we cannot be multi layered.. we are put in boxes.. we can’t be all the above.. reclaim yourself,” she wrote on Twitter of the album. “We have been hurt, we have inflicted hurt, we have been right, we have been wrong, we’ve been shy AND overly confident. We are women. The name is supposed to challenge you. The name is supposed to make you question… only to let u find your own answer. But really.. it’s me reclaiming myself. Me accepting myself. Good & bad. All the way around. It’s me. Thank you for loving me.”
We can’t wait to hear it!
