Kelis

  • Flesh Tone
  • Interscope

Kelis's sci-fi-inflected R&B was always too weird for North American audiences, which is why, Milkshake aside, she's far bigger in Europe. Now Kelis is returning the favour by going for full-on Euro-disco. Teaming up with popular house producers and her new label boss, Will.I.Am, Kelis is invading clubland - where her outsize personality towers over the genre's largely generic divas. These beats may not win mainstream converts - this electronic music is more traditional than Lady Gaga's arty dance-pop - but Kelis's bold about-face boasts enough anthems to bring the club kids into her yard.
