The party’s in full swing. Kehlani just dropped the music video for “Back and Forth,” her electrifying single featuring the iconic Missy Elliott, pulled from the 2x GRAMMY-winning star’s chart-topping self-titled album ‘Kehlani’. Directed by Director X, the clip unfolds inside a vibrant house party, pairing Kehlani’s soulful vulnerability with Missy Elliott’s unmatched charisma, plus a surprise appearance from R&B legend Monica.

The video lands on a wave of momentum. ‘Kehlani’ debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 equivalent album units, the biggest debut for an R&B album by a woman this year. It topped the R&B Albums chart and marked her fourth top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, her third to crack the top 5.

Behind it all sits the juggernaut “Folded,” which earned Kehlani two GRAMMY Awards this year for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. The track holds the record for longest-running No. 1 in Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay history, sitting at the top for 17 weeks and counting, now certified 2x Platinum.

There’s more on the horizon. The Kehlani World Tour, presented by Live Nation, runs 41 dates and kicks off August 6th in Minneapolis at The Armory before sweeping across North America through an October 4th finale in San Francisco. Special guests Durand Bernarr, Isaia Huron, TheARTI$t, and WASEEL join on select dates. The run then crosses to Europe and the UK from November 29th through December 10th, with Odeal and WASEEL supporting throughout. Kehlani holds her place as one of the defining voices in modern R&B.
