October 20, 2023—Grammy-winning artist
Kali Uchis unveils a new track, “
Te Mata,” today alongside a
Bethany Vargas-directed video—watch
here and listen
here. “Te Mata” is taken from her fourth LP and second Spanish-language album,
Orquídeas, set for release
January 12, 2024—pre-order/pre-save it
here.
Orquídeas features collaborations with some of the biggest names in Latin music including
Karol G,
Peso Pluma and
Rauw Alejandro as well as this summer’s global hit “
Muñekita” featuring Dominican dembow singer
El Alfa and
JT from
City Girls.
“The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” Uchis says. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.”
Uchis embarked on a completely sold-out, two-part headlining Red Moon In Venus Tour that wrapped earlier this month— which included stops at several iconic venues including a handful of arenas— performed on the mainstage at Coachella in April as well as Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina and Brazil and Estéreo Picnic in Colombia. She will officially finish this run of tour dates with a performance at Tyler, The Creator’s annual music festival Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.
Uchis’ latest album,
Red Moon In Venus, was released in March to widespread critical acclaim and became her first Top 10 charting album after debuting at
#4 on the
Billboard 200. The album has been featured on
Best Of 2023 lists from
Rolling Stone,
Pitchfork,
The Washington Post,
Complex,
Variety,
Billboard and more—listen
