On Monday (April 3), Kiana Ledé premiered her new single “Jealous,” a VRon-produced offering that features R&B peer Ella Mai. As the title suggests, the track sees both artists coming clean about their insecurities in regard to a non-monogamous relationship.
“See how all them girls look at you, but I carry your name for ya, so every time they see me, they gon’ see you, I ain’t gon’ tell you to drop them other women, but drop them other women, I never been jealous, but, right now, I’m jealous, but so damn invested, I ain’t gon’ tell you to make a commitment, should know what you’re missing, the rest ain’t my business, but right now, I’m jealous…”
Back in 2020, Ledé unveiled her debut studio LP, KIKI, a 17-song body of work with contributions from Ari Lennox, Lucky Daye, 6LACK, Moneybagg Yo, BIA, Col3trane, and Arin Ray. Months after its initial release, fans would receive a deluxe edition of KIKI with seven additional cuts and collaborations alongside Ant Clemons, Jacquees, and Gary Clark, Jr.
In a past interview with REVOLT, Ledé opened up about creating music and building her career since she was a child.
“I’m still young, so it’s a lot of learning and a lot of opinions,” she said. “When you have a big management team, myself, my producers, and a label, there’s so many people who are so involved — which is such a blessing. I really feel so lucky that everyone gives a f**k, but it’s also very scary because I have to sift through everything… It’s a little easier to sift through now. I’m stubborn, but in the best way possible when it comes to my career.”
