With 'Community', KERI ELLE delivers a fierce, soulful anthem for anyone reclaiming their voice and worth.
With her latest single ‘Community’, the rising R&B/soul artist KERI ELLE delivers an unflinching declaration of self-worth, wrapped in rich vocals, slick production, and raw emotional honesty. It’s the newest highlight from her bold, 13-track album Elle Is For Love, and a certified standout in both sound and message.
Written in a flash of inspiration by her husband, after hearing a beat from producer Epik The Dawn on the way home, ‘Community’ was recorded by KERI the same night, layered with her signature vocal arrangements and a whole lot of attitude. “It’s my ‘you’ve got me fucked up’ song,” she says without hesitation. “Sometimes you need to say it like that.”
Fusing classic R&B and soul with a gritty hip-hop edge, ‘Community’ doesn’t hold back. Its infectious hook and sharp lyricism speak to anyone who’s ever had enough and is finally ready to walk away, stand tall, or set the record straight. Whether the track ends with a playful “you’ve got the wrong one” or its more explicit version, the message lands the same: this is self-love in full voice.
