Kelela

Kelela returns to Paris with new avatar, her third studio album, and a live show conceived as a journey through her zones of friction between R&B, electronic, rock and alternative music. From Cut 4 Me in 2013 through the albums Take Me Apart and Raven, she has been shaping a language of tensions and counterpoints, where intimate emotions, political concerns and a taste for experimentation intertwine. Her live project In The Blue Light extended this vein on stage, refining a play of shadows and textures that lets club and ballad converse.

On October 27, 2026 at the Élysée Montmartre, Kelela presents new avatar in concert, with songs that probe the rage of Black women, joy as resource and resistance, a Gotham City–style dystopia, misogynoir and romantic tension. Supple voice, meticulously measured rhythmic architectures, synth layers that open and then tighten: the set promises continuous movement, between pulse and weightlessness. After her appearance at the Trianon in 2023, she returns to place a new piece in her sonic puzzle, between upfront immediacy and slowed vertigo.
