Sincerely is the love letter everyone secretly hopes to receive, sealed with candle wax, scented with nostalgia, and sung from a cathedral deep inside a lover's heart. Every track feels like a slow dance in a dream. Uchis doesn’t just make you listen, she makes you feel something deep.
This album is a love letter to longing, devotion, and self-forgiveness, drenched in reverb and nostalgia like a perfume. Every time you take the letter out and breath it in, the feelings come right back in technicolor.
Sincerely, is the kind of album that invites listeners to float inside its echo chamber, where every note feels suspended in heart-shaped fog and every lyric unfurls like a vow written by candlelight. The album title is apt, considering how it feels like a handwritten note etched on Kali’s heart.
This album casts a spell on the listener. Each track floats seamlessly into the next, expertly crafted to entrance you. Kali’s soft-yet-intense emotional confessions grab your attention (and your heart), locking you in a choke hold of emotions. For some unused to intense emotions, it could feel claustrophobic. Perhaps that’s why they engineered such cavernous reverb? Regardless, the polarity of this album is mesmerizing and keeps you seated.
Sincerely, is dreamcore pop at its best, with elements of R&B soul, 1950s rockabilly, 1980s love ballads, and 2010s synthwave. With tracks clocking in at 5 minutes and blending together for a cohesive listen, Sincerely, in 2025 feels like a revelation. An album so out of its time that it feels timeless. With how it buries into your soul on repeat listens, it may just be.
Fans of dreamcore aesthetics and artists like Lana Del Rey, Cocteau Twins, and Portishead will find familiarity here. But Uchis’ tone remains distinctly her own, simultaneously extraterrestrial and tenderly human. It’s as if she built a sonic cathedral out of silk, incense, and heartbreak, letting her voice echo through it until every crevice glows with devotion.
“Devotion” is the operative word here. With lyrics like “Heaven on earth may fade away; But you and I are forever to stay in love; 'Cause I don't care about much anymore, it's just us; The way that you are is fascinating; You and I are forever to stay in love” Kali can’t get more “sincere”. If you’ve ever felt this kind of devotion from a lover before, it can be the most intoxicating experience in the world. When it’s gone, you endure the world’s longest hangover that no amount of comfort food can satiate.
On the flipside to this intense devotion is a flash of danger. “Territorial” and “Daggers!” inject love’s darker undercurrents beneath the pastel surfaces, and Kali never shies away from exploring jealousy, protection, or grief.
By the time “Sunshine & Rain” and “ILYSMIH” close the album, the listener feels as though they’ve traversed a love story that’s healed itself midair. Kali’s voice rising like angelic vapor as she sings to her newborn child, the final note dissolving somewhere between lullaby and ascension.
Sincerely, is not an album for everybody and that’s okay. However, if you ever want to briefly brush against a love so deep and vulnerable that it makes you want to protect and nurture it, even watch it blossom in your mind for approximately 51 minutes, give this album a spin.
When Gehlee said in a Weverse Live that this album was her recent fave, I had to check it out. She's got great taste in music, and has exposed me to amazing artists I'd never have heard otherwise. This album really threw me for an emotional loop, rekindling that spark in me to feel intense passion for another person. Sometimes we get locked in our grind and numb that part of ourselves that's yearning for our "other half". Not numb in a negative way, just coasting the love highway in cruise control. But you can fall asleep, coast forever, and miss your exit. As dreamy as it is, this album woke me up.
