R&B star Kehlani has officially confirmed that her next studio album is on the way, thanks to a charming intervention from her own five-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi Parrish Young-White. The reveal took place during an adorable Billboard Family interview where Adeya, playing the role of journalist, expertly pressed her mother for details on her next musical project.
When Adeya innocently asked her mom if she was “working on a new album,” Kehlani—who previously tried to keep the news quiet—couldn’t help but smile and confirm the timeline. The Grammy-nominated artist stated clearly: “You know I’m working on a new album, girl. It’s coming next year.” This new project, which follows 2024’s acclaimed Crash LP, is scheduled for release in 2026.
The singer further revealed that Adeya is not just a motivator but an active participant, playfully referring to her daughter as the project’s “creative director.” Kehlani mentioned that her daughter has played a “significant role” in the upcoming album, echoing a previous statement that Adeya had sung on a track and that nothing is released without her approval.
In addition to the album news, Kehlani also teased a snippet of a potential new single, “Out the Window.” The mother-daughter chat provides a heartwarming start to the new album cycle, with fans now eagerly awaiting the tracklist and official release date for the 2026 project, which promises to carry Adeya’s stamp of approval.
