Kehlani‘s hit single “Folded” has had us in a chokehold all summer long, and Brandy definitely agrees. The Vocal Bible stamped the song with her signature tone by sharing a new version of “Folded” Thursday (Sept. 18).
“While I’m busy getting ready for the ALMOST SOLD OUT ‘THE BOY IS MINE TOUR,’ I took a little break from rehearsal to hop on the hottest song of the summer—my lil sis @kehlani ‘FOLDED,” Brandy wrote on Instagram underneath a black-and-white video of herself recording her vocals next to none other than a laundry basket. “Adding some Brandy sauce to the mix feels so special because Kehlani is truly like my little sister, and I love her so much.”
Outside of their collab IG post, Kehlani shared a separate reflection on having “my MUVA of ALLL muvas” hop on her record. “This is the reason i know how how to use my voice this is still who i study, who i reference, who i consider to be my absolute #1. when she reached out saying she just wanted to play with Folded… i think i sat there for like 10 minutes speechless,’ they wrote. “it’s one thing for the world to love what you made and it’s another for your idols to reach back. with the highest most deep respect and honor for all you have given me, us, the world… i LOVE you Ms Brandy Norwood thank you a million billion times over and they not gon know what hit em @brandy #Folded BRANDY SAID ITS THE SONG OF THE SUMMER GON HEAD NA.”
