Kali Uchis surprised her fans with the unexpected release of “ILYSMIH,” her new single. The emotional touch most people recognized came from the song’s sentimental lyrics.

However, what most fans did not expect was the shocking laugh that drove people to both emotional and rational responses.

The soft laugh of her and Don Toliver’s child can be heard at the end of the song, sparking wonderful reactions from listeners.

This new Kali Uchis release ILYSIMH comes from her new album Sincerely which is set to drop on 9th May.
