It's been almost two years since Kehlani [1] released a full-length project, but
their third studio album, "Blue Water Road," is finally here. The Grammy-nominated singer announced their new project on March 24 and shared a statement about the story behind it, noting that "Blue Water Road" is "a destination in my mind." They added, "I'm giving everyone access. It's an emotional journey, a sexual journey, and a spiritual journey. To me, the album is like a glass house. It's light, transparent, and the sun is shining right through it."

Ahead of the album's release, Kehlani dropped three singles: "Altar," "Little Story," and "Up at Night" featuring Justin Bieber. The 13-track project is executive produced by Pop Wansel and includes other features from Blxst, Syd, Jessie Reyez, Thundercat, and Ambré.

Along with "Blue Water Road"'s release, Kehlani has also debuted a three-part docuseries of the same name. They announced the special project on April 21 via Twitter [2], just a week before their album's release. "[E]xcited to share something that means a lot to me. I took honey shot productions on a road trip to experience the music in nature and reflect on some important aspects of my journey so far," she tweeted. "[W]e filmed the whole trip and created a 3 part mini doc." The first two episodes of the docuseries are available now on YouTube.

Kehlani released their previous album, "It Was Good Until It Wasn't," [3] in May 2020. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, but the R&B album was snubbed [4] by the 2021 Grammy nominations [5], provoking outrage from fans. However, in a now-deleted Instagram post, Kehlani assured fans that they don't need awards: "we had a #2 overall album and #1 rnb album. i have a lot of fans wondering where certain accolades or acknowledgments are for me but i need y'all to know that YALL listening to and loving the music is what matters to me the most."
