ALBUM REVIEW: Kali Uchis' heart aflutter on 'Red Moon in Venus' (RIFF)

Full of woozy synths that shift tones lower and lower, melodic bass and sharp electronic percussion, the album does much more than set the mood; it serves you ...

The sensual “Moonlight,” the latest single, is the closest Red Moon in Venus comes to a title track and sets up album closer “Happy Now”—an upbeat pop song! The album then returns to candlelight territory on “Endlessly” but detours into revenge territory on “Moral Conscious,” a spacey jam where Kali Uchis sings about karma coming for someone who’s transgressed. “Not Too Late” then leads into the album’s second half highlights: “Blue” is accented by a lonely saxophone and Uchis’ hushed spoken-word delivery that contrasts her evocative singing. That’s followed by another highlight in “Fantasy,” featuring rapper Don Toliver, which kicks off the song with a warbling croon over detuned piano strokes before Uchis joins in for the duet. The latter tune is especially a jam, picking up the pace temporarily. While the song is unique from the preceding one, highlighted by twinkling organ keys and funky bass, it feels like a continuation; opening a new door after letting one shut.

Kali Uchis, “Red Moon in Venus” (FLOOD Magazine)

The neo-soul artist's non-linear third LP covers a range of relatable emotions tied to the life cycle of a relationship.

On Red Moon in Venus, Kali Uchis plays with themes of love and heartache that aren’t necessarily new, but she makes them feel new by stringing them altogether in a non-chronological way. Walker and Uchis, on the other hand, together ooze raw femininity in all of its glory and power. Her song with Summer Walker, “Deserve Me,” has a similar energy in that both vocalists seem to be taking their power back after heartbreak.
