Hallucinogen is an EP by Kelela, released on October 9, 2015 on Warp and Cherry Coffee Music.
Hallucinogen covers the beginning, middle, and end of a relationship in reverse chronological order.
Hallucinogen received acclaim from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 78, based on 9 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".
Anupa Mistry of Pitchfork Media praised the EP, stating, "If you consider that Kelela’s roots are in soul and R&B, the emotional side of her music makes sense. The mechanics of dance music might inspire feelings in listeners, but within the genre, overrun with the egos and opinions of "bro-teurs," her emotions are revolutionary. She is a transparent creator, unafraid of tainting the canvases of her mostly male collaborators with the imperfect, vulnerable contents of her brain and heart."
Max Mertens of Rolling Stone gave the EP a favorable review, stating, "More than simply a stopgap to tide fans over until her debut LP comes out, Hallucinogen is a fully-realized vision from an artist who's poised for a long and fruitful career." Adam Kivel of Consequence of Sound gave the EP a positive review, stating, "Hallucinogen shows Kelela’s remarkable confidence and strength through a fragility and willingness to admit faults and weaknesses."
