KEHLI is back with her fresh new single, 'Not OK,' which is a ballad in its nature, but is layered with bold and euphoric textures. Having already made a name for herself in the music industry with her previously releases 'Hypnotized,' 'Believe It,' 'Summer Lovin'' and her collaboration with Louis III on 'Ur So Cool,' the release of 'Not OK' marks her long-awaited return to the music scene.
KEHLI has become renowned for her warm and inviting approach to an alternative-pop sound. The production of the track also perfectly complements her beautiful vocals, with the two perfectly balancing one another out. There is no denying that her vocals are immensely powerful, but in this particular track, the emotion in her vocals is truly exemplified.
Here at The Lowdown, we had the chance to catch-up with KEHLI to talk to her about the new single. Keep reading to check out what she had to say!

"Altogether, the initial concept was started back in June, so nearly five months in the making."
Does the single have a personal representation?
