Still riding high off her critically-acclaimed debut project, Take Me Apart, Kelela has now returned with a new video for her album standout-cut, “Blue Light.” Directed by Helmi, the sultry single receives a surreal, yet alien-like visual interpretation that made its world premiere earlier today on national television via BET. This following her stunning live cover of Sade’s “Like a Tattoo” during a recent visit to BBC Radio 1’s “Piano Sessions.”

Meanwhile, Kelela’s ‘Take Me Apart’ world tour just kicked off last week and the tour is already off to a strong start with nearly all of the stops currently being sold out. Check out the remaining cities and dates on the official flyer and also revisit her debut Take Me Apart album now via Apple Music.
