KERI ELLE ‘MOVE OVER’ - A Bold Reintroduction with Vintage Soul Swagger

KERI ELLE’s “Move Over” doesn’t ask for space—it takes it, with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly who she is. The second single off her highly anticipated album ELLE IS FOR LOVE, this track sees the genre-blending artist stepping into her power with undeniable charisma and groove. Trading the tenderness of her previous single “Community” for a more assertive energy, KERI makes it clear: she’s not waiting around for permission anymore.

Musically, “Move Over” channels the golden age of early 2000s R&B while adding sharp hip-hop edges and a glossy, modern pop sheen. It’s soulful, bold, and luxuriously textured, with KERI’s vocals gliding between sultry verses and a hook that lingers long after the final beat. She balances vintage warmth with a razor-sharp sense of now—think Lauryn Hill’s edge meets H.E.R.’s melodic flow, all wrapped in the cinematic polish of a modern-day classic.

Lyrically, the track is a fearless declaration of self-prioritization. KERI's decision to stop dimming her light for the sake of others is both personal and universally resonant, especially for women carving their own paths. Her line, “I no longer wanted to pace myself to accommodate anyone else’s journey,” hits like an emotional rally cry. It’s liberation set to a beat.

Adding further punch is a dynamic guest verse from SHREDTVT, whose motivational lyricism and grounded delivery bring a complementary energy. Their chemistry, built over years of collaboration, feels effortless—SHREDTVT doesn’t just drop in for a feature, he amplifies the track’s message with soulful precision and emotional heft.

“Move Over” is more than a standout single—it’s a statement. With this track, KERI ELLE solidifies herself as a defining voice in a new wave of R&B, one unafraid to be vulnerable, stylish, and loudly herself. Get out of the way—KERI isn’t just moving, she’s arriving.
