Kelela has returned with ‘Washed Away’, her first original single since she released her debut album, 2017’s ‘Take Me Apart’.‘Washed Away’ is an airy, slow-moving cut that foregrounds her impassioned vocal delivery with woozy, gliding synths. “I love a banger, but for the first point of contact out of my hiatus, it felt more honest to lead with an ambient heart-check,” she explained in an accompanying statement.The song arrives alongside a video directed by Yasser Abubeker, which sees Kelela in the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia.
