Kehlani, Lose My Wife | Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈

In the 85^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “Lose My Wife” performed by Kehlani.

Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E 🏳️‍🌈! Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 85^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “Lose My Wife” performed by Kehlani.

Oh, really, Kehlani (Kehlani Parrish) 👀? They continue in the pre-chorus of “Lose My Wife”, “So when I get home / I give you what you want / I’ve been wildin’ out tonight / I might lose my wife tonight.” The chorus from the 13^th and final track from their 2024 album, CRASH, confirms the risks taken, including “I might lose my life.” Damn, ‘Lani! Parrish penned “Lose My Wife” with Darius Dixson and producer Jack Ro (Jack Rochon).

From the jump, “Lose My Wife” is a certified, surefire vibe.  The guitar accompaniment is perfect fuel for the fire. Kehlani sings with a beautiful, expressive, ear-catching tone. Their upper register (falsetto-like) is splendid.  They get great support from the background vocals.  Previously mentioned, the titular lyric (the catchline) and pre-chorus/chorus are memorable.  The melodies are tuneful. During the verse, Kehlani is delivers memorable, rhythmic lyrics and melodies. They admit their wrongs, including “And I’ve been dancin’ on my homegirls / Throwin’ ass on a few strangers / I been being way too friendly / It’s a part of my love language.” Ooh-wee!  But, Kehlani knows that they have to make it up: “I ain’t even kiss her on the mouth / You should know it’s yours without a doubt / You won’t ever catch me crashin’ out.” All told, the semi-infidelity-driven “Lose My Wife” is a marvelous closer on CRASH as well as another fab addition to the LGBTQ+ catalog.
