Kali Uchis will be releasing her next album, Orquídeas, in January 2024, the singer announced in a post on social media, Wednesday. The project will see Uchis singing in Spanish. The announcement comes following the release of “Muñekita,” which features El Alfa and City Girls’ JT. Uchis also shared her third studio album, Red Moon in Venus, earlier this year.
“The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” the Colombian-American singer said in a statement. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to re-define the way we look at Latinas in music.” Prior to the announcement, Uchis shared a short video teaser on social media while hinting at a fourth studio album being in the works.
