With her second single from the upcoming album ELLE IS FOR LOVE, KERI ELLE makes it clear: she’s no longer asking for space — she’s claiming it. “Move Over,” featuring longtime collaborator SHREDTVT, is a swaggering, sun-soaked anthem that pulses with confidence, conviction, and vintage soul.
Where her debut single Community offered warmth and connection, Move Over steps into a sharper light. The track draws deeply from the golden era of early 2000s R&B — think The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill or What’s the 411? — but KERI ELLE brings her own modern polish, infusing the song with bounce, hip-hop cadence, and a clarity of purpose. Her vocals walk the tightrope between velvet and steel: sultry in delivery, unshakable in intent.
KERI describes the inspiration behind the track as “no longer pacing myself in life to accommodate anyone else’s journey” — a sentiment that permeates every beat. It’s not just a personal affirmation; it’s a mantra for anyone tired of shrinking themselves for the comfort of others. SHREDTVT steps in with a verse that complements rather than competes — his grounded lyricism and cool-headed flow echo the track’s steady drive forward.
Born in Fernandina Beach, FL, and shaped by years abroad, KERI’s sound is as expansive as her life experience. Her church roots still hum beneath the surface, but it’s her global ear and genre-bending vision that make her current work stand out. Once known to many as CoCo Jones, she’s now stepping into her next chapter as KERI ELLE — with clearer purpose, deeper artistry, and a magnetic presence that can’t be overlooked.
“Move Over” is a thesis statement. A groove-heavy reminder that soul music still moves, still matters, and still has something to say.
