Taking apart 'Take Me Apart' by Kelela

Aural Fixation

05-05-2021 • 1 hora

Over the past six cycles of Aural Fixation, we have discussed many artists who have either eluded to their queerness without directly acknowledging it, or generated a vast queer fanbase without actually being qard qarrrying queers themselves. However sometimes there are artists that we deeply revere who just so happen to be out and proud, which makes our hearts burst because it means that we can fast track them straight to the front of the queue.

Enter stage left, Kelela whose debut album Take Me Apart is a delicious blend of R&B, electronic and garage music. Scroll down to the Personal Life section on her Wikipedia and... BINGO! "Kelela openly identifies as queer." You're in, toots!

In this episode, Andy and Drew discuss not only Kelela's 2017 debut but also the follow up TAKE ME A_PART, THE REMIXES and pontificate on post break-up enlightenment, the loaded pressure of "black excellence" and the sound of high heels click-clacking through a multi-story car park.

Our big gay thanks to Anthony Garvin and the team at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney. Don't forget our companion playlist on Spotify.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land this podcast episode was recorded on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
