Lyndsey Havens:Hey, I’m Lyndsey Havens here for Billboard News. And we’re here with a Grammy Award-winning artist Kali Uchis.
So we have two drops to talk about here and congratulations!
Kali Uchis:Thank you.
Lyndsey Havens:So excited for you. How have you been keeping this a secret? What’s been the hardest part of that?
Kali Uchis:I had to do some shows and I was on a Times list, I had to do a red carpet. That was really hard.
Lyndsey Havens:And then when the time does come, what are you most excited for about being a mom?
Kali Uchis:I don’t know. There’s so much to be excited for, honestly. So yeah, it’s hard to say just one thing.
Lyndsey Havens:You won’t know until it happens.
Kali Uchis:Yeah, exactly.
Lyndsey Havens:Your fourth album, Orquídeas, is now out. Congratulations. It’s all about the theme of the orchids that inspired this. How did you sort of land on that? And why was that flower like the proper embodiment?
Kali Uchis:Yeah, I feel like the flower for me, it always symbolizes timelessness, femininity, luxury, has an eerie mystical quality about it as well. And it’s also the national flower of Colombia. So for me it all tied in, and then I didn’t find out that I was pregnant until later in my rollout, but actually it’s also the flower of fertility. So it actually all came together perfectly.

Laufey:I knew I wanted the album to be called ‘Bewitched’ before I started writing any of the songs. I knew I wanted it to be a little bit more mature and I wanted it to be more confident. I think my first album was a little bit aloof, it’s very, you know, hopeless romantic. This second one, although it has elements of that, you know, I’ve experienced more with love. I’ve matured more. I think my writing has gotten better. Some of the references I put into my music, the classical references, especially, are so obvious that sometimes I get DMs or messages from my fans saying like, “Wait a minute, I was listening to Bach today and I found the beginning of ‘Everything I Know About Love.’” And I’m like, “Yep, you got it.” And I love that. I love spreading it in. I mean, I need to do a deep dive into the classical references in ‘Bewitched’ but there are so many. It feels very, very validating, especially in the category that I am in, you know, it’s all my heroes. It’s all legends, so getting to be a voice in that category is just incredible and especially with this album that I wrote at home, it’s just, it’s crazy. Taylor Swift was one of the first songwriters that I really, like songwriter artists, that I really resonated with. Every song while you’re listening, you can visually see what’s happening, and it turns into a little movie. And I think that’s something, though she has changed genres so many times, she’s always kept true to that. It’s always that Taylor Swift storytelling, that songwriting, that is the common denominator. That’s one thing I really want to do in my lifetime as a musician, and it’s inspired me greatly.
