Pittsburgh artist KELS has released a new single, "OMW" (an acronym for "on my way"), and the song is the perfect showcase for her sultry vocals, honed by her background in jazz training. The influence of jazz greats is palpable in her performance, and will surely give listeners something a little different to enjoy.
"OMW" is a song about KELS glowing up, evident in the lyrics below:
“I can’t tell you what I know but
If you see me laying low
It's probably cuz I’m bout to explode
You never know
I’m on my way
Yeah I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Believe me when I say”
The origins of the song are surprising, KELS found the beat for the tune on TikTok:
Since we last covered her single “No Lie” back in April, Kels has really bloomed, performing all across Pittsburgh and amassing fans. She even recently released music videos for "OMW" and "No Lie." The former, directed and edited by Casey Harewood and CHP Studios, finds the singer/songwriter playfully romping through the city, primarily Downtown. Watch the new video below:
