Kelela has introduced a new digital avatar and announced a world tour, marking a fresh chapter in her career. The avatar, created in collaboration with digital artists, represents a fusion of her musical identity and futuristic aesthetics.
Collaboration with PinkPantheress
In an interview, Kelela confirmed working with PinkPantheress on a new track. “It was a natural fit,” she said. “We share a love for experimental pop.” The collaboration is expected to drop later this year.

The tour, set to begin in autumn 2026, will span North America, Europe, and Asia. Kelela described the show as “an immersive experience” combining music, visuals, and the avatar. “I want fans to feel like they’re inside my world,” she added.
Impact on her musical direction
Kelela’s new avatar reflects her evolving artistry, blending R&B with electronic and avant-garde elements. The upcoming album, due in 2027, will explore themes of identity and technology. According to her, “the avatar is a tool to express parts of myself that words can’t capture.”
