I actually really like Kelis. I find her to be a breath of fresh air in the pop music industry, cause she takes chances with her sound and image and doesn't apologize for shit. Nobody has a voice like hers (though thin in parts, her husky tones are insane). Lately, Ms. Rogers has been planning a comeback of sorts, with rumored collaborations with Boyz Noize, Calvin Harris, Cee-Lo, and Crookers (which we've heard the product of), taking on a more dance and electronic oriented vibe. The alleged first single from this album, "Acapella", has been leaked by Kelis herself, and the result is a slinky jam produced by David Guetta.
Kelis - Acapella
I honestly hope for the best for her, because success in the US has been somewhat elusive (Bossy, Milkshake, Caught Out There...those aren't even her best songs). Collaborating to much success with Ol' Dirty Bastard, Busta Rhymes, N.E.R.D., and Richard X, she's made more of a name for herself in the UK, where "Lil Star" went to #3. She was also on the remix of Bjork's "Oceania" remix. 2010 might definately be the year of Kelis. Godspeed.
This is the single that should have been 2004.
