Unleashing a slew of the biggest musical names from the continent, as well as British electronic pop band CLEAN BANDIT on Tuesday 24 May–today the festival announces its second international addition to the #JWxRTD 2022 bill-universally beloved R&B and neo-soul force KEHLANI.
Regarded as one of the leaders of the contemporary R&B garde, Kehlani’s repertoire, at just27 years-old, is something to marvel at.
