Bonita Jalane Releases Soul-Stirring New Album Kept Kissing Frogs — A Sonic Journey of Healing and Self-Love

Acclaimed soul artist Bonita Jalane has officially released her deeply personal and genre-blending album, Kept Kissing Frogs, available now on all major streaming platforms via UnitedMasters: Listen Here.

Kept Kissing Frogs is more than an album, it’s a musical memoir. With each track, Jalane unpacks the emotional weight of heartbreak, resilience, and rediscovery, delivered through a lush fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, and hip-hop.

Kept Kissing Frogs is my healing in harmony — a sonic journal of the love I gave, the lessons I learned, and the power I found in choosing myself. Every track is a step toward forgiveness, freedom, and finally, flying,” says Jalane.

Bonita’s signature velvety vocals, poetic storytelling, and raw vulnerability have earned her critical acclaim — including her recent induction into the Recording Academy Class of 2025 and the Best Female Vocalist award at the ACE Honors. With Kept Kissing Frogs, she solidifies her position as a voice for emotional truth and empowerment in contemporary R&B.

Standout Tracks Include

  • “Fast Cars” – A metaphorical joyride through toxic love and the crash that follows.
  • “Nah Son” – A confident anthem of boundaries and self-worth.
  • “So High” – A euphoric blend of jazz and soul that captures the lightness of moving on.
  • “Gratitude” – A reflective thank-you to the heartbreaks that led to growth.
  • “Brooklyn” – A soulful homage to Jalane’s roots and the strength they gave her.
  • “I Love Myself” – The triumphant closer and heart of the album’s message.

With Kept Kissing Frogs, Bonita Jalane invites listeners into her transformation — where the pain becomes poetry, and every frog kissed leads to deeper self-love.
