Kali Uchis shows off her edginess with a full spectrum of emotion in her latest music video for “Sunshine & Rain.” Directed by Zach Apo Tsang and shot in Mexico City, the visual is a masterclass in character play.
Uchis shapeshifts through multiple personas, from Lead Anchor and Weather Girl to the cheeky Drizzle Lynn and sultry Wendy Wave, as she forecasts more than just storms. Drenched in surreal color, the video feels like flipping through a dreamy late-night broadcast where love and longing dominate the forecast.
“Sunshine & Rain” officially launched the rollout for Uchis’ fifth studio album, Sincerely, set to release on May 9. The track is a mesmerizing, soulful ballad wrapped in a lush, ambient production. Her voice glides over the melody with that signature breathy, emotive delivery, layering vulnerability and strength in equal measure.
“This record is about embracing a life of enjoyment despite the world or your circumstances… an existential piece focusing on the vulnerability and romanticism of life,” states Uchis.
The release follows two recent major collaborations: d4vd’s “Crashing,” and JENNIE’s “Damn Right,” featuring Childish Gambino. And in a full-circle moment, Uchis appeared on stage with JENNIE this past weekend at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, presenting her with the Global Force Award.
