Oakland, California superstar Kehlani has released one of the best songs of the year; arguably decade, titled “wish I never.” Serving as a notable song on her impeccable new album blue water road, the track masterfully samples Slick Rick’s classic “Children’s Story” record. With Co-production from Pop Wansel and Rogét Chahayed, “wish i never” immediately kicks off in stunning modern R&B fashion. Kehlani dazzles over the elite instrumental with a variety of upbeat flows in order to emphatically speak from a regretful storytelling lens. From start to finish my head was nodding to the ridiculous amount of bounce this offering has, as it maintains a fast-paced rhythm while simultaneously aligning with Kehlani’s varied vocal speeds. I truly am at a loss of words with how creative and brilliant this song is, which is just one of the many standouts on blue water road. Listen to “wish i never” below!
