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.

Igual Que Un Ángel
Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven's her residence, y ella no se va a caer
They just can't reach her, princesita inalcanzable
Le rompieron el cora', pero nunca se la perdió, oh
Todos quieren plata, otros quieren fama
Un amor superficial
Pero ella quiere calma, no dañar su alma
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And it shows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And she knows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
Ya le juraron amor, y le fallaron
Ojitos secos de todo lo que lloraron
Pero ella no se rinde, sonríe aunque le duela
Porque personas como ella ya no quedan
Todos quieren plata, otros quieren fama
Un amor superficial
Pero ella quiere calma, no dañar su alma
Nunca se olvida de lo real
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And it shows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And she knows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
Uh, con esa actitud
Nadie la merece
El que la quiera, que rece
Porque ella es luz, ay, nada que ver
No está a tu alcance
La nena es un ángel
Todos quieren plata, otros quieren fama
Un amor superficial
Pero ella quiere calma, no dañar su alma
Nunca se olvida de lo real
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
Un corazón como el tuyo está en extinció-o-on
Heaven must have sent you, love
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And it shows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
La favorita de Dios, la favorita de Dios
And she knows
Sent from Heaven down to Earth
La favorita de Dios
La favorita de Dios
