    "comment": "“Idea 1” is Kelela’s first original track since the 2023 \"Raven\" era.\n--\n  In a press release, Kelela said the song is about “what it feels like to exist in this climate—the weight of being expected to witness, absorb, and speak truth at a time when the world feels like it’s unraveling. That’s a particular kind of burden Black women know intimately. This song doesn’t offer answers, it just refuses to look away. \n--\nSee the official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2IpeDPmjFo",
