As someone who went through the quarter-life crisis (it’s documented well in my music), I’m here for anyone who’s expressing their own doubts and insecurities about that awkward phase through music. Atlanta’s Kelechi is doing just that with “Flowers,” the intro to his upcoming QLC project. Through some lush harmonies and philosophizing, Kelechi encapsulates the fears of being a young Black man in a world where “everybody wanna go to heaven, but nobody wanna die.” The ending, without spoilers, is a bit jarring, compared to the happier (read: more-optimistic) tones of the rest of the song, and sets up the album to be a pretty wild ride. Check out “Flowers” below, be on the lookout for QLC, and support dope music in all its forms.
