Kali Uchis Taps Ravyn Lenae for Doo-Wop-Inspired Single ‘Cry About It!’

Kali Uchis^[1] has shared a new single, “Cry About It!” featuring Ravyn Lenae^[2]. The track heralds Uchis’ upcoming Sincerely: P.S. deluxe album, out Sept. 26 via Capitol Records.

The doo-wop-inspired ballad sees Uchis crooning, “Too bad, so sad, you should cry about it/ Llora, llora, hasta que ya te deje de doler/ Too bad, so sad, go cry about it.” Lenae adds her vocals to the chorus. The duo appeared on The Tonight Show^[3] to showcase the single live shortly before dropping the track.

Sincerely: P.S. is a follow-up to Uchis’ most recent LP, Sincerely^[4], which dropped in May. The singer announced Sincerely in March^[5] with a witchy video she dropped on social media as well as letter she e-mailed to her fans.

“I know I’ve been distant, but we’ll each other again sooner than you think,” she promised. In the letter she explained that she would now be signed to Capitol Records following their merger with Interscope. She added that she is still working with the same team behind her last two albums, Red Moon in Venus and Orquídeas. “Thank you all for the well-intentioned wishes on this journey, and thank you to my team,” she said in the letter. “I have boundless gratitude for my silent ascent throughout the years and am very much looking forward to what’s next.”

Uchis recently kicked off^[6] her first headlining arena tour. The tour marks Uchis’ biggest to date, traversing 24 cities and stopping at major venues like the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, and Madison Square Garden in New York. It is set to wrap up in late September in in Los Angeles. The trek features Thee Sacred Souls^[7], the 11-piece soul band from San Diego, joining the singer across all dates.
