Jonathan’s Pick of the Week
Having first caught our attention with her recent mixtape – Por Vida – Virginia’s Kali Uchis has returned with a brand new music video for her song Rush. Directed by creative duo WIISSA and Uchis herself, it channels plenty of Quentin Tarantino-like vibes. Plus, the artist has also recently lent her self-proclaimed “lowrider soul” vocals to Tyler, The Creator for a track on his new album, while she will make her way over to the UK next week for a couple of sold-out London dates.
