Kelis

Thank HELL it's not like Flesh Tone - I mean, I understand that she has a massive fanbase in the UK, but that doesn't mean you have to go all europop on us. :lol:

I love her first 3 CDs(own them), was kinda okay with the 4th, and just would not pick up the 5th... Food though, I might have to try out.
 
I loved "Flesh Tone"...saw her live on that tour with Robyn and she was amazing!

Just in case anyone wants to catch it...she had a special air on The Cooking Channel last night called "Saucy & Sweet"! It was nice to see her putting her chef skills to work!
 
Kelis - Jerk Ribs (Mount Kimbie remix)

I really love this remix...

 
^I LOVED it for about the first minute... and then it just went to being too "trippy", and not in a cool trip-hop Morcheeba/Portishead sort of way...
 
I was curious when I have read that she is going retro-soul or something along those lines but in reality the album is just awful. It sounds like the songs are leftovers from Pharrel´s album which also is pretty boring..
 
^Ugh... I didn't want to agree with you, but...

The new album is quite a few shades of boring and uninspired, save for a scant few tracks(Change and Dreamer, and of course Jerk Ribs and Rumble). On a whole, its missing a whole lot Kelis' signature flavor and sassy wit. Unlike Bossy, where she REALLY tries to shake the Neptunes' backing with mixed results, this album kind of sounds like she wasn't trying all that hard, if at all. I mean, if you're going for soul... where is the soul? I'm not expecting Jill Scott from her(one of the things I LOVED about Kelis is that you can tell she has the heart of a rebel in her music), but give something... something more than this.

I don't see myself listening to this again.
 
I would LOVE to see her live!

Here's a great write up:

Kelis review – 'Dazzling and distinctive classic-soul style'

Kelis is thriving, demonstrating an instinctive, symbiotic relationship with her band that's reminiscent of Erykah Badu
5 out of 5

There's intimate, and there's being able to see individual beads of sweat on a singer's face as she performs under studio lights in a 100-capacity sweatbox. "I need ice-cold water," pants Kelis during the call-and-response climax of Friday Fish Fry, one of the highlights of her latest album, Food. A flash of amusement passes across her face as she realises the line has never sounded more real than now.

The atmosphere matches the music, anyway. Food, which Kelis performs in full, is a steamy heatwave of an album that places her firmly in the lineage of classic soul while possessing enough personality to avoid being in thrall to the past. Tonight, its magnificently detailed arrangements are brought to life by her superb 11-piece band: from backing vocalists and a vigorous horn section to the Gandalf-haired drummer, each plays a starring role. Kelis herself demonstrates an instinctive, symbiotic relationship with them that's reminiscent of another R&B great, Erykah Badu, as she ebbs and flows with the music, drawing out hypnotic mantras on Runner, breaking the tension of Biscuits'n'Gravy's circular keyboard motif with impeccable timing, interrupting the cowbell-propelled, loose-limbed groove of Cobbler with Minnie Ripertonesque high notes.
