Over the last few years Kelis has had her share of ups-and-downs in the music world, you'd agree. Everyone remembers her hot debut Caught Out There (off her album Kaleidoscope) and her mega smash hit Milkshake (off her album Tasty); but sadly, Kelis seems to be forgotten in some places on this earth with her recent delivery - the Flesh Tone album.
Don't get me wrong, we love Kelis' earlier stuff. Caught Out There was an anthem for a whole range of genres with the "I hate you so much right now" lyrics being screamed from a variety of gay boys and indie-pop junkies alike.
The same with Milkshake - it was heard on the lips of anyone and everyone who wanted you to know that they brought their milkshake to the yard. I know I certainly brought mine, hell yeah.
But let's talk Flesh Tone. Written and produced by David Guetta with help from Benny Benassi, Tocadisco, Jean Baptiste and Boys Noize; you'd wonder what could possible go wrong. Apparently, a lot!
I'm talking about what should have been a mega smash here people! What's wrong with the world - THIS SONG IS AMAZING.
Anyway.
Acapella was followed with 4th of July (Fireworks), and as of now, Scream. Both are great tracks, however the "rumoured" forth single, Brave, is what I'm waiting for.
Short summary - the album is an ass-moving, leg-shaking, heart-thumping, smile-making must for anyone wanting to pump more than Shania Twain when they're running around vacuuming half naked (it works for me anyway). Do yourselves a favour and buy it.
You can watch the video for Scream below. And, if you're really up for it, it also comes in a 3D version on Kelis' VEVO page on YouTube.
Enjoy my people. Much love.
