In September 2021, Saleka released her debut single “Clarity” to immediate acclaim. Refinery29 said Saleka “calls upon the sounds of the R&B greats for her soulful debut, sounding every bit like the legends that she's closely studied for years.” In December, she released “Mr. Incredible,” a moving single about coping with a partner’s unwillingness to communicate. “The soulful chorus neatly subverts the Disney/Pixar character’s tagline, and positions Saleka as an R&B talent to watch in 2021,” Billboard wrote of the track. “Saleka’s distinct R&B sensibility and musician’s ear for keys changes come through in droves on this track,” V Magazine added.
In February, Saleka released “Graffiti,” a single Vogue called “potent” and “powerful.” Shortly after, she shared “The Sky Cries” which was utilized in Apple TV’s show SERVANT. M. Night Shyamalan, who is executive producer of the show, also directed the video for “The Sky Cries” which was premiered by Rolling Stone. In July, she released “Remain,” which came as part of the soundtrack to the Universal Pictures film Old. Most recently, Saleka shared her powerful protest song, “How Many,” and announced that her full-length debut album 'Seance' is due out on April 8, 2022.
