Khamari - To Dry a Tear (2025)
To Dry a Tear finds Khamari navigating emotional complexity with both vulnerability and composure, framing feelings of love, regret and self-discovery through lush, genre-blurring production.
He blends traditional R&B warmth (inspired by artists like Stevie Wonder and D’Angelo) with alternative textures and live instrumentation to create subtle depth and sonic richness.
Lyrically the album explores trust, loneliness, ambition and the struggle to connect — tracks like “Head in a Jar” and “Lonely in the Jungle” convey both raw emotion and introspective storytelling.
Production wise, Khamari is more confident and hands-on than before, using guitars, keys and ambient touches to expand beyond simple R&B frameworks.
In sum, To Dry a Tear is a sophisticated sophomore effort that rewards thoughtful listening — emotionally resonant, musically rich and clearly a step forward for Khamari.
