Kali Uchis Drops Off “ORQUIDEAS PARTE 2” That Includes Four New Demos

by

Alexandria, Virginia resident of Colombian descent, Kali Uchis, put out one of her most substantial releases of her career at the beginning of 2024 with ORQUIDEAS. It’s a record that hears her plunge more into her Spanish roots with just a few instances of her English coming out. Fans and critics were still digging it, including us. So much so that the album was widely acclaimed and sold 31,000 copies in its first week. Vinyl sales were the catalyst, with over 20,000 customers accounting for that number. That led Kali to achieving the largest week for a Spanish-language album on vinyl in the modern era. Because of all of that success, Kali Uchis is giving her Kuchis (her fanbase), a PARTE 2 of ORQUIDEAS.

Compared to the original version, this “deluxe” edition includes four new tracks, which according to the LA Times are a set of demos. So, that means there are now 18 songs instead of 14. They kick in after “Heladito”, the second to last track. After that, you get titles such as “Adicto”, “Young Rich & In Love – KAYTRANADA Remix”, “Simple”, “Como Debe Ser”. Fans were assuming this PARTE 2 was going to a remix LP of sorts. However, Kali shut that down. “Isee people saying Orquídeas parte 2 is a remix project its notttt… Its Orquídeas demos for my Kuchis along with the Kaytra remix”. That’s still more than enough for us to revisit this stellar project and it should be for you too.

Kali Uchis has being enjoying mommy life alongside her partner and fellow musician Don Toliver. Back in March, the couple welcomed their baby boy into the world.

In June, Kali Uchis treated supporters to “Never Be Yours,” an oldie but goodie from the vault. But next week, the “Labios Mordido” singer is set to drop a new full musical offering. On Instagram, Kali Uchis announced her next album, Orquídeas Parte 2, along with its official release date.

“Orquídeas Parte 2 next Friday 8/9 💋,” she wrote.

The forthcoming body of work is the follow-up to Kali Uchis’ critically acclaimed, album Orquídeas, that hit streaming platforms in January.

The second half of the post’s caption provided a nugget of information about what fans should expect. “Young, Rich & In Love – The Kaytranada version,” she wrote. In the clip, followers got a taste of the infectious remix.

But don’t for a second think Orquídeas Parte 2 is just a bunch of electronic round-ups of past releases. In the comment section, fans asked for clarity about the upcoming project’s sound.

“Wait, is this gonna be various remixes or just this song,” asked a follower.

“This remix and some brand-new songs, hunny,” replied Kali Uchis.

Kali Uchis has a never-ending well of creative works, or so it appears. The “Moonlight” singer thought she fed her fans’ appetite in January with the release of her latest album, Orquídeas.

But, it turns out, she didn’t. Now, Kali Uchis is back from maternity leave to share the track, “Never Be Yours.” To some, the moody Josh Crocker-produced song may appear to be new. However, Kali Uchis’ day one fans will tell you it is actually an oldie but goodie.

If the lyrics, “Hello Kitty, why the long face? / You keep on standin’, standin’, standin’ in the same place / New coupons, riding in the Chevrolet with big bass / You’re deep on talkin’, talkin’ ’bout how we all lack taste / Beamer, Bentley / Make me, spend me / Nеw chain, you changed / Here’s your rеceipt,” don’t spark a flashback, you must have missed her appearance on the Kinda Neat podcast.

Back in 2014, Kali Uchis performed the record live for the show. The clip has since racked up over twenty-four million views on YouTube. With a snippet of the song currently gaining steam on TikTok, she decided to officially release the record across music platforms, starting with Kali Uchis’ official YouTube page.

Kali Uchis is one of this generation’s most consistent artists. The sheer volume of music that pours out of her is pretty astounding. What is even more remarkable is that her sonic creativity spans two languages. Last year, she flexed her vocal abilities in English on Red Moon In Venus. This year, on Orquídeas, she will do it all again, but in Spanish.

In a statement, she discussed the delicate inspiration behind the forthcoming project. “The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” she said. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful, and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.”

Kali Uchis And Karol G’s Seductive ‘Labios Mordidos’ Video Involves Bikinis, An MMA Fight, And A Pool Party

by

Kali Uchis and Karol G told us this was coming, but it’s even better than we imagined. Last month, Uchis revealed the tracklist for her forthcoming album, Orquídeas, including “Labios Mordidos” featuring Karol G. At the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on November 19, Karol G performed a portion of the unreleased song, and earlier this week, Uchis confirmed its impending arrival.

This morning, November 24, “Labios Mordidos” is here in all its reggaeton glory. In the accompanying video, Karol G and Uchis pull up to a mansion in a chrome pink tour bus. They strut inside and lead a dance party, involving an indoor halfpipe and lots of bikinis. Around the one-minute mark, it cuts to Uchis singing in the middle of an octagon. She remains untouched and unfazed despite a full-blown MMA fight occurring around her.

The vibes are mellower out by the pool, where some women twerk and others splash in the pool. Uchis confidently delivers titillating lines like “Your girlfriend goes crazy when I arrive” and “Tonight, I’m a lesbian” (as translated from Spanish to English by Genius). By the end, Karol G and Uchis walk slowly away from a fiery explosion. Which, fitting.

“LABIOS MORDIDOS OUT NOW for your holidays ft @karolg,” Uchis captioned an Instagram video (roughly translated from Spanish to English). “thank you very much for being part of this project my beautiful queen and thank you to all the people that made this video possible with love and dedication.”

This January, Uchis shared her plan to release two albums — one primarily English and one primarily Spanish — in 2023. In early March, she dropped Red Moon In Venus, and she will hold up the second half of her promise on January 12, 2024 with the arrival of Orquídeas.

Watch the “Labios Mordidos” video above.

Kali Uchis Gladly Plays The Role Of The Villain On Her New Single, ‘Te Mata’

by

Kali Uchis continues to be a certified hitmaker — in both English and Spanish. Tonight (October 20), Uchis has shared “Te Mata,” the latest single from her upcoming Spanish album, Orquídeas.

“Te Mata” features Uchis finding happiness after a breakup — to the chagrin of her ex. Still, if this makes her the villain in his story, she will happily bear that title — even if it kills him.

The song is entirely sung in Spanish, with Uchis on the chorus doubling down on living for herself, and herself only.

“Well that’s already over, that’s not me anymore / I’m finally happy, my days are no longer gray / I finally realized that I deserve much more / and that kills you,” sings Uchis.

Orquídeas marks Uchis’ fourth studio album, and her second within the course of a year. It will arrive after a promise she made to fans, that she would release one English album and one Spanish album within this year-long timeframe. Earlier this year, she released Red Moon In Venus, which contained the hit single, “I Wish You Roses.”

“Te Mata” follows Uchis’ hit single, “Muñekita,” which features fellow Latin artist, El Alfa, as well as City Girls rapper JT.

You can listen to “Te Mata” above.

Earlier this year, Kali Uchis teased that she had two albums in the works — one in English, and one in Spanish. She dropped her English-language third studio album Red Moon In Venus this past February. This coming January, she will release her fourth studio album, the Spanish-language Orquídeas.

Uchis revealed the album’s title and cover art today, after previously releasing the single “Muñekita” featuring El Alfa and JT of City Girls back in August. As of now, this is the only song she has released from the album. However, she has been teasing new music via social media over the course of the past few days.

When making the album, Uchis was inspired by her Colombian roots and upbringing.

“The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” Uchis said in a statement. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to re-define the way we look at Latinas in music.”
