The stylistic range of left-field pop artist Kali Uchis is reflected in the variety of her collaborators – an extensive genre-crossing list that includes Tyler, the Creator, Gorillaz, Daniel Caesar, Juanes, and BadBadNotGood. A singer, songwriter, and producer, as well as a video director, Uchis truly arrived on her own with the self-released Por Vida (2015), an EP that led to a deal with Virgin EMI. By the time Uchis released her lively debut full-length, the Top Five Billboard R&B/hip-hop hit Isolation (2018), she had already been nominated for Grammy awards through her featured appearances on Daniel Caesar's "Get You" and Juanes' "El Ratico."
Kali Uchis experienced the majority of her upbringing in Virginia and also spent time in her parents' native Colombia. As a teenager growing up in Alexandria, just south of Washington, D.C., she learned to play piano and saxophone and also developed a deep interest in visual arts. Her recorded debut was made in 2012 with the self-released mixtape Drunken Babble. Within three years, she had several singles to her credit, including "Know What I Want" and "Lottery," typically promoted with videos she directed, as well as collaborations with Snoop Dogg, GoldLink, Tyler, the Creator, and Major Lazer. Following the 2015 independent release of Por Vida, a free digital-download EP with tracks produced by Diplo, Kaytranada, and Tyler, Uchis started releasing her material through major-label Virgin EMI. A DJ Dahi-tweaked version of Por Vida's "Ridin Round," issued that November after a move to Los Angeles, was the artist's first single for the major label. "Only Girl," a relaxed Kaytranada production featuring Vince Staples and the Internet's Steve Lacy, followed in April 2016. She was also featured that year on Daniel Caesar's "Get You."
Throughout 2017, Uchis added to her discography of featured appearances via tracks by Juanes, Gorillaz, Tyler, Bootsy Collins, and Miguel, and she previewed her debut album with the singles "Tyrant" (featuring Jorja Smith) and "Nuestro Planeta" (featuring Reykon). By the end of the year, "Get You" had been nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best R&B Performance, and Juanes' "El Ratico" made Uchis a Latin Grammy nominee when it was up for Record of the Year. January 2018 saw the release of the BadBadNotGood-produced single "After the Storm" (featuring Tyler and Bootsy). Uchis released her debut album, Isolation, three months later. It debuted at number 32 on the Billboard 200 and entered the R&B/hip-hop chart at number four.

Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se me daña la cabeza
Me acerco, todo me tiembla
Ahora tengo la certeza (Rudeboyz)
Que no se me han quitado las ganas
Despertar contigo en las mañanas
Pero voy buscando tu mirada
Y tus ojos baby, no me dicen nada
Hola, ¿me recuerdas?
Era yo a la que tanto querías
Dame esta noche entera
Que seamos solo tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Solo tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Te veo diferente
Andando con otra gente
Amigos que no conozco
Ahora pareces otro
Dime por qué has cambiado tanto
No ves, te estás engañando
Yo conozco en realidad quien eres
Lo sé, todavía me quieres
Hola, ¿me recuerdas?
Jurabas amarme de por vida
Dime, si podemos pretender que
Solo somos tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Solo tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Solo tú y yo, oh
No digas que no
Solo tú y yo, oh oh
Solo tú y yo, oh oh
Solo tú y yo, oh
No digas que no
Solo tú y yo, oh oh
Solo tú y yo, oh oh (Yo soy Reykon, el líder)
Baby, vamos a poner los puntos claros
Dices que me notas raro y no es así
Me hiciste fama de perro y que a todas se lo hundo
Después de que te mostré los secretos de mi mundo
No fue así (no fue así)
Dime si no fue así (no fue así)
Imagínate
Que estamos en otro planeta
Que tus amigas no se metan
Tal vez así lo podamos hacer
Solo tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Oh oh oh oh (aquí en nuestro planeta)
Solo tú y yo, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh (Yo soy Reykon, el lider)
Oh oh oh oh (Con Kali Uchis)
Solo tú y yo
Solo tú y yo (Rudeboyz)
The first verse of "Nuestro Planeta" by Kali Uchis, featuring Reykon, talks about being near the person they desire and how it makes them feel. The lyrics mention the fluttering feeling they have when they get close to this person, and how they long to wake up next to them every morning. However, despite their desire for this person, they feel like they are not receiving the same energy in return. They are seeking validation from the person they desire, and their eyes do not reveal any information about how they feel. The chorus emphasizes the desire for the two of them to be alone and together, and the repetition of "aquí en nuestro planeta" ("here on our planet") underscores their longing for an exclusive, idyllic relationship.
The second verse of the song shows a change in mood, with Kali Uchis expressing confusion and frustration with the person they desire. They see the person they desire with other friends they do not know, and it seems that they have changed their entire personality. Kali Uchis wants to know why this person has changed so much and is not being true to themselves. She believes that deep down, they still want the same things they did before, but something is preventing them from reaching out to Kali Uchis. The bridge of the song sees Reykon stepping up to speak to the person Kali has been singing about, explaining that he does not understand why the person is behaving this way, but that he wants to be with Kali Uchis and only her. He longs for them to be together, without interference from anyone else.
