It's a pace further away from the massive hit song that, more than a decade later, refuses to go down. If it’s sauce that Kelis makes, Food is the kind of stuff worth slathering on every meal. Instead of playing her position and exploring with futuristic interpretations, Kelis tips her hat to the past with a palette that revels in soul, doo-wop and layered girl-group harmonies. Food isn’t a calculated move to maintain chart status it’s an album that just sounds and feels good, regardless of time and place. The result is songs that we'd never have expected from the singer.
KELIS FOOD SONGS TV
In flipping her sound once again, she found an unlikely partnership with indie/art-rocker Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio fame) and the 13-piece band that came with him. Whether she was screaming about how much she hates you, spearheading the shift toward a new R&B sound or diving into the world of electronic dance music, Kelis has never been one to sound subdued or stagnant.Īt 34 years old - post divorce, contract liberation and since becoming a mother - Kelis is beyond the point of trying to fit into any box that the industry has tried to squash her into, whether it was a label with misgivings or a radio station that couldn't figure out where she belonged. Since her first blip on the radar in 1999 as the hook singer on Ol' Dirty Bastard's " Got Your Money," Kelis' work has run the gamut of musical experimentation her approach has been nothing less than bombastic. For Kelis Rogers, R&B's resident provocateur, Food - her first album since 2010's dance-heavy Flesh Tone - is the embodiment of what she has always contended as an artist: that she can't be molded to fit inside one genre - one flavor, one dish, one cuisine. At base, it's sustenance, and at its most complex, like when it appears in song, it can evoke nostalgia, carnal desires and comfort. Food is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Kelis, released on April 18, 2014, becoming her first album released under Ninja Tune Records. It's the connective tissue between families, communities and cultures. Jerk Ribs Video from Kelis album Food - released 21 April 2014 on Ninja Tune.
