Rising star Keilene has released “Moi,” the latest single from her highly anticipated debut EP Of Course. In this new track, the singer-songwriter takes a surprising yet welcome departure from her usual hard-hitting sound, infusing a smooth reggae vibe that reflects her Caribbean heritage. With its mellow rhythms and infectious melodies, “Moi” is an anthem of self-love and introspection, offering listeners a new dimension of her evolving artistry.
The song’s lyrics dive deep into themes of self-discovery, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves. Keilene has said, “I wanted to create something that you can vibe out to by yourself. It’s about embracing who you are and finding joy in your own company.” Her voice, as evocative as ever, seamlessly blends with the song’s laid-back instrumental, inviting a sense of tranquility and personal reflection.
Keilene’s roots in Puerto Rico are woven into the fabric of her music, and “Moi” is no exception. Growing up in a diverse culture and a family rich in musical influences has sparked her curiosity about a variety of genres. She shared, “My family listened to a wide variety of music, which fascinated me and shaped my eclectic taste. My cultural background has taught me to take pride in this diversity, and I truly appreciate the unique experiences that come with being multicultural.”
Despite its breezy sound, the creation of “Moi” was no easy feat. Keilene recalls the journey of crafting the track: “’Moi’ has taken me a long time to create because of the many aspects involved in the song. Initially, it was quite different, but I knew it needed to be more original and impactful. I went back to the drawing board to redefine what the song meant, alongside the beat. I wanted to make it edgier, and I’m finally proud of what I’ve created—something I’m truly passionate about and excited to share.”
