You Should Be Here

Kehlani has been compared to Tinashe and other alt-R&B singers, but a closer comparison is Frank Ocean. Kehlani, along with right-hand-man producer Jahaan Sweet, shares Ocean’s auteuristic vision and plainspoken eloquence. You Should Be Here’s dynamism and generosity is something to be amazed by, especially considering Kehlani is all of 19 years old.

When Kehlani was fronting the Oakland band Poplyfe during the sixth season of America's Got Talent, judge Piers Morgan informed the young singer, "I don't think you need the group."
