Telepatía is a sultry, bilingual fantasy where Kali Uchis proves that distance can’t tame desire. Singing in both Spanish and English, the Colombian-American artist imagines a love so intense it leaps across time zones, travels faster than a private jet, and crackles under a full moon even when her bed is empty. She flirts with the idea that she and her lover can “make love by telepathy,” trading thoughts, breaths, and melodies while miles apart, their minds buzzing like an open phone line that never goes silent.
Beneath its airy pop beat, the song celebrates a deeper connection: a romantic chemistry that’s equal parts sensual and psychic. Kali paints vivid scenes of what she’d do if they were face-to-face, yet confidently reminds us that passion lives in imagination too. It’s playful, empowered, and irresistibly catchy—an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt sparks fly through a screen and believed that love can travel on the same wavelength as a song.
