Kali Uchis' 'Orquídeas Parte 2' introduces a collection of demos

As a long-time follower of Kali Uchis’ musical journey, I find myself both intrigued and impressed by her upcoming project “Orquídeas Parte 2”. The Colombian-born singer has always had a unique ability to seamlessly traverse between English and Spanish, creating a rich tapestry of sound that resonates with audiences worldwide.


Kali Uchis accessorized with flowers around her neck and behind her ear, unveiled her upcoming project “Orquídeas Parte 2” on Instagram reels last week. This second installment, set to release this Friday, is a compilation of demos from her previous album that includes a Kaytranada remix of “Young Rich & in Love.”

In the reveal video, a lively rendition of “Young Rich & in Love” by the Colombian singer can be heard as she moves playfully within a living room. With an intimate approach to the fish-eye camera, Uchis shakes her body rhythmically to the revamped, drum-heavy adaptation of her earlier soulful song. This left some of her fans questioning if the project would be a remix album or just the Kaytranada single.

On Tuesday, Uchis shared on her Instagram story that “Orquídeas parte 2” isn’t a remix project but rather demo versions of her songs for her fans (Kuchis), along with the Kaytra remix.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’ve been captivated by the artistic journey of Uchis, an artist who skillfully navigates the English and Spanish-speaking markets. Her unique style often blends English and Spanish, but “Orquídeas,” unveiled in January, marks her second full-fledged foray into the Spanish realm of music. This album has certainly left a lasting impression on me!

In an interview with The Times this year, Uchi mentioned that shifting among languages and being so multifaceted as an artist can be quite draining, almost like putting in extra hours at work.

The 14-song album marked her return to the realm of Latin music following the worldwide acclaim of “Telepatia.” Notable artists within the genre, such as Peso Pluma in “Igual que un Ángel” and Karol G in “Labios Mordidos,” are among its contributors.

Despite having already released four studio albums, a mixtape, and numerous EPs, Uchis referred to himself as a “new artist” when speaking to the Latin Market.

Upon her comeback to the Spanish market, Uchis’ partnership with Peso Pluma garnered widespread acceptance, as their collaboration climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. Moreover, “Orquídeas” marked her initial No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums. As per earlier reports, the album launch resulted in Uchis enjoying her biggest streaming week for an LP to date.

Apart from her triumphant return to Latin music, she also became a mother to a baby boy with rapper Don Toliver in March. The impending launch of “Orquídeas parte 2” indicates that she’s showing no signs of letting up on her momentum.

In my previous statements, I mentioned that I often recall within myself how much more resilient I am compared to those who aim to undermine me. This realization is what truly matters most for me.
