"We can find solace in the fact that we have to go through the bad stuff to truly get to the good," says Uchis of the track. "Just because you're losing at the moment doesn't mean you've lost yet. The storm may be scary now but it's how your flowers bloom later, and paradise is just beyond the rainbow."

Kali also features on Tyler's critically acclaimed new album Flower Boy.
Uchis is nominated for a 2017 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance for her collaboration with Daniel Caesar, "Get You," and was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Record of the Year for her song with Juanes, "El Ratico."

Following her first-ever, sold out headline tour last fall, Uchis is currently touring North America with Lana Del Rey with dates in Newark, Philadelphia, Nashville, Austin and beyond. Uchis will play additional headline dates in Chicago, Sacramento and Oakland this spring, as well as this year's Coachella.
