Kali Uchis Shares Heartfelt New Single “ILYSMIH” as She Prepares for Upcoming Album Sincerely

Kali Uchis is back to enchant listeners with her second single from the eagerly anticipated album Sincerely. Titled “ILYSMIH” and available to stream now, this lush track is notable for being one of the first musical offerings Uchis crafted after welcoming her son into the world. Closing out the 14-track album, “ILYSMIH” promises to encapsulate a moment of profound love and emotional introspection.

Co-produced by Dylan Wiggins and Josh Crocker, the song reflects Uchis’ journey into motherhood and her nuanced understanding of love and inner peace. In a heartfelt statement shared with the release, she expressed, “‘ILYSMIH’ is me sharing a piece of my heart with the world. Living a life that is rich in love and inner peace hasn’t come easy. I hope this song will find anyone who needs it.”

With an infectious melody and purposefully crafted lyrics, “ILYSMIH” promises to resonate deeply with fans who have followed Uchis on her artistic journey. As one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary R&B, her exploration of personal themes has continued to captivate audiences, and this latest offering is no exception.

Set to drop on May 9, Sincerely marks Uchis’ third studio album in as many years, following 2024’s acclaimed Orquídeas and last year’s Red Moon in Venus. This new chapter also represents her first collaboration with Capitol Records. Fans have already been treated to the album’s lead single, the vibrant “Sunshine & Rain…,” which was unveiled just last month.

Critics and listeners alike have eagerly anticipated Uchis’ return, especially after her 2024 album was featured in Pitchfork’s “The 50 Best Albums of 2024.” For those wanting to dive deeper into her artistry, Isabelia Herrera’s profile, “Welcome to Kali Uchis’ High-Femme Fantasy,” provides a revealing look at the singer’s creative evolution and personal insights.

With “ILYSMIH,” Kali Uchis showcases her incredible ability to translate her life experiences into song, inviting us all to experience the beauty and complexity of love. As we count down the days to Sincerely, let her new single be a reminder of the richness of vulnerability in music. Listen to “ILYSMIH” below, and prepare to be swept away by Uchis’ enchanting sound and genuine spirit.
