Kali Uchis’s latest album, Sincerely, and the tour that follows it are dedicated in part to her mother, who passed away shortly after Uchis became a mom herself. This emotional juxtaposition of life and loss deeply influenced her songwriting and stage presence.
On stage, Uchis often pauses to reflect, introducing tracks with stories about her upbringing and her mother’s influence on her career. “She taught me how to love without fear,” she told one crowd. “This tour is for her.”
Fans have praised the rawness of her live shows, which feature visuals inspired by family photos and spoken-word segments that highlight the beauty of generational love.
