On February 10, R&B singer and songwriter @kelela will drop ‘Raven,’ her first album in six years. As the music director for #TheArtIssue, she curated a playlist of celebratory tracks—like Jazmine Sullivan’s “Mascara” and “Clouds” by Hiroshi Yoshimura—that have provided a sense of catharsis for her and her friends. “He made so much incredible ambient music that I find so soothing and cozy,” she says of Yoshimura. “And sometimes, joy is just about feeling comforted.” Listen to her full playlist at the link in bio. —⁣ Photographer: @lucieroxxx Stylist: @anatolli Creative Director: @lauragenninger Entertainment Director: @angcutt Hair: @mideyahparkerhair Makeup: @raisaflowers Manicures: @nailglam Set Design: @jillcnicholls Text by: @themarshian @harpersbazaarus
