Melancholy in Music - Kelela's "if we meet again"
I've been listening to the last song of New Avatar on repeat to get the feeling, and it reminds me of how sad Kelela looks on the cover art. Kelela doesn't want to only be shown affection when her and her lover are alone but also to be showered with affection in public. I get the sense that she wants to be smothered - maybe even controlled a little bit 😏 - as long as it's by her lover. And if she doesn't feel that, she ends the situation (true power). She needs to know she's worth a fight over.
I love you, Kelela.
Your fans love you.
The people your music touches the hearts of, Love You.
You deserve to be claimed in the light.
What do you guys think? Is "if we meet again" the most emotionally devastating closer she's ever given us because 🍒 ☕️ is pretty sad too.
