Kehlani Altar

We will soon receive a new album from Kehlani, and the singer is kicking off her rollout season with a new single. This week, the Bay Area songbird shared that Blue Water Road would arrive this winter, and earlier today, Kehlani delivered “Altar,” a new single that arrived with an accompanying music video. The visual moves like an ethereal period piece and shows Kehlani enjoying the fruits of nature and what looks to be a woman portraying her spiritual support, much like a loved one that was lost or an ancestor.

Kehlani tweeted about the response she’s received about the song: “I’ve had an overwhelmingly emotional day. SO many people have reached out to me to say what the song has done for them and it’s been unreal. the words i’ve received today i will never take for granted. i’m doing what i’m supposed to be doing. I owe it all to spirit.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Nine cups of water, still water
Soon I’ll see your face
Don’t know why I ever thought you were far away
I should’ve known better

[Pre-Chorus]
If I set a flame and I call your name
I’ll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I’ll play you the songs that you used to play

[Chorus]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya’, thought I felt you before
Now you’re closer, closer, woah
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya’, thought I felt you before
Now you’rе closer, closer, woah, woah

[Verse 2]
Holdin’ on to things you told me
Holdin’ on to drеams you showed me
Holdin’ on to anything from you
That you’ve been leaving here
Now I believe I swear
I can smell your perfume
Picking up your signal like a phonebooth
Keeping you alive and I do it ’cause I want to

[Pre-Chorus]
If I set a flame and I call your name
I’ll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I’ll play you the songs that you used to play

[Chorus]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya’, thought I felt you before
Now you’re closer, closer, woah (Now you’re closer)
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya’, thought I felt you before
Now you’re closer, closer, woah, woah (Closer)
