KERI ELLE wastes no time asserting her voice in 2025. Her latest single “Move Over”, is a high-energy, groove-forward statement of confidence and creative power, which we premiere here at LOCK.
A sharp contrast to the introspective vulnerability of the lead single “Community,” this track shows a different side of the artist 0 fierce, vibrant, and entirely in control.
Built around a rich, nostalgic R&B palette, “Move Over” evokes the soul-drenched sound of the early 2000s with a fresh modern gloss. KERI’s voice moves effortlessly through the track – flirtatious in one moment, commanding the next – blending melodic warmth with lyrical bite. There’s a clarity to her performance, a sense that she knows exactly what she wants to say, and how to say it.
The addition of SHREDTVT – a longtime collaborator and trusted creative partner – grounds the track further. His verse adds substance without overshadowing KERI’s lead. His delivery is crisp, emotionally aware, and thematically aligned with the track’s empowering message. The chemistry between them is tangible, a testament to years of collaboration and shared artistic vision.
What makes “Move Over” so compelling is its seamless blending of eras and genres. There’s the silky R&B foundation, punctuated by hip-hop textures and a pop-ready hook, wrapped in a Marvin Gaye-inspired musicality. It’s a sonic love letter to the greats, while still being unmistakably KERI ELLE — bold, polished, and unapologetically self-assured.
Formerly known as CoCo Jones, KERI ELLE’s evolution is in full bloom. With ELLE IS FOR LOVE, she continues her trajectory as a genre-blurring artist who can navigate soulful ballads and infectious bangers with equal precision. “Move Over” is an entrance, a warning, and a celebration all at once.
In a musical landscape yearning for authenticity and presence, KERI ELLE delivers both – with rhythm, heart, and undeniable star power.
