Oakland, CA – Kehlani’s hit single “Folded” is getting a major boost with the release of “Folded Homage,” an EP featuring remixes by six R&B icons from the ’90s and ’00s: Toni Braxton, Brandy, Ne-Yo, JoJo, Tank, and Mario. The original track, a Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hit, is a modern take on classic R&B, and these remixes amplify that homage.

Each artist brings their signature style to the song, offering advice and perspectives on love and relationships. Toni Braxton offers “big sister” guidance, while JoJo shares her own experiences with heartbreak. Mario directly responds to Kehlani’s lyrics, creating a conversational feel. Tank completely reimagines the song with new verses and a reworked instrumental. Brandy adds her signature vocal harmonies, creating a lush and layered soundscape. Ne-Yo channels the original’s longing for reconciliation with his smooth vocals.

Billboard has published a ranking of each remix, praising Tank’s bold reimagining, Brandy’s vocal arrangements, and Mario’s chemistry with Kehlani.

This EP is a celebration of R&B, bridging generations and showcasing the enduring appeal of the genre. While Kehlani is already teasing her next single, “Out the Window,” “Folded Homage” offers a fresh and exciting take on her hit song.
