Looking For R & B Producer - Ref Track - Folded By kehlani

Project Overview

I’m looking for an experienced R&B producer to collaborate on an original song inspired by the emotion, groove, and intimacy of “Folded” by Kehlani. The goal is a modern, soulful R&B record that feels personal, understated, and emotionally honest.

This track should feel like a quiet moment of truth — restrained, smooth, and deeply felt rather than overproduced.

Closing

I’m looking to build something that feels timeless, intimate, and honest — a record that sits with the listener rather than demands attention. If “Folded” resonates with your production style, I’d love to collaborate.
