When Kelela debuted with Cut 4 Me, she solidified an experimental bass movement into something that felt human, as if a team of extraterrestrial scientists finally made contact. The mixtape was welded by a group of producers from UK imprint Night Slugs and their L.A. sister label Fade to Mind who bent elements of drum’n’bass, dubstep, techno, grime, and footwork into sparse soundtracks for the club underground. Kelela was the skeleton key to the crew’s disparate styles, a siren who could unlock a matrix of synths, shattering glass, and sputtering bass to reveal the soul hiding in the pauses between. It’s rare when something is both so clearly reflective of its time and predictive of the future, and Cut 4 Me was just that. –Puja Patel

当Kelela的首张专辑⟪Cut 4 Me⟫亮相时，她把实验性质的贝斯和弦编排得富有人味，仿佛一群外星科学家们终于在宇宙中取得了联系。这张混音带由英国厂牌Night Slugs和其洛杉矶姐妹厂牌Fade to Mind联合制作。制作人们融合了鼓打贝斯、回响贝斯、铁克诺、车库饶舌、footwork等元素，让稀稀疏疏的单曲成了地下俱乐部的背景歌单。Kelela是制作团队中的骨干，是高歌的塞壬——带领我们解开繁复的合成音，打碎玻璃，在喷溅的贝斯间隙领悟到音乐的灵魂。一张专辑很少能在反思当下的同时预言未来，但⟪Cut 4 Me⟫显然做到了这点。
