Kelela's second album Raven is a certifiable masterpiece of future R&B. The title track begins with Kelela's voice engulfed in a sea of atmospheric synths, her husky tones inverting the traditional notion of ravens as a harboring of death, making it a cry for rebirth. The song builds slowly, with the synths becoming more insistent, buttressed by icy piano chords, before erupting into jungle breakbeats.
