Tight Ass Tuesday Tune Day


It's been a while since we heard Kelis on our radio's, particularly JJJ. She collaborated with Calvin Harris for his monster smash "Bounce"her dance angel and album "Flesh Tone" was not a high seller but it showed Kelis really doesn't need to just sit in the RnB barnyard her voice has range and she is spectacular, this was proved to me by seeing her at the last (maybe the last ever) Good Vibrations Festival.

Her set was magic and fans really lapped her up. Her career has been up ("Milkshake") and down ("Blindfold Me"), she is divorced to Nas, she has a child and has been a guest vocalist time and time again.

Today though her new tune, Jerk Ribs (yes weird title) is a grower, I didn't love it first airing but the second time, I thought hey I have followed her (and not in a Twitter way) since 1999 and "Caught Out There", this is again a different angel and I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of the album (so far titled "Food") is going to be like. This is produced by Dave Sitek (member and producer of TV on the Radio) so an indie vibe on this album?

RnB/Hip Hop to full on Dance to indie Dance? Go Kelis!
