Por Vida is the debut EP that introduced the world to Kali Uchis’s kaleidoscopic sound — a genre-blending mix of dreamy pop, soul, R&B, and vintage flair. Released in 2015, the project is a self-assured and stylish showcase of her artistry, with production credits from heavy-hitters like Tyler, The Creator, Kaytranada, and BADBADNOTGOOD.
With a voice that floats effortlessly between honeyed croons and smoky whispers, Uchis delivers songs full of romantic longing, personal growth, and independence. Por Vida feels timeless, fusing 60s doo-wop vibes, futuristic beats, and introspective lyrics into a cohesive, nostalgic-yet-modern experience.
The EP established Uchis not just as a vocalist, but as a visionary with a clear aesthetic — bold, vintage, and unapologetically her own. Por Vida set the tone for everything that would follow, and remains a beloved early gem in her discography.
