Take Me Apart
Kelela
By Maeve C.
Kelela's debut album Take Me Apart brings detailed electronic production into songs about endings, attraction and the start of another relationship. Her voice remains supple against the shifting rhythms, often joining separate sections that do not move like a conventional radio arrangement.
“LMK” uses a direct chorus and a strong bass pulse, while the title track stretches its emotional uncertainty through a less settled structure. The contrast makes the album work both as R&B songwriting and as an exploration of club music's textures. Its most intricate sounds leave the vocal room to breathe.
