Phoenix-raised and Los Angeles-based artist Kiana Ledé has teamed up with Ella Mai for her catchy and confessional new single, “Jealous” via The Heavy Group/Republic Records. Carried by delicate acoustic guitar and intimate vocals, the track, which notably arrives on Kiana’s birthday, finds her reflecting on her insecurities. Meanwhile, fellow 21st century R&B force of nature Ella Mai pulls up with a quotable cameo of her own as their voices melt into a hypnotic harmony.
The last time we heard from Kiana was the fan favorite “Irresponsible” last fall. It has piled up millions of streams worldwide. Beyond plugs from REVOLT and more, UPROXX summed it up best as “heartfelt and painful.” It’s just the beginning of her next era. Stay tuned for a whole lot more from Kiana Ledé in 2023.
