Album: Food
The always quality-consistant, but unpredictable Kelis is returning with her sixth studio album Food in late April. The album has been completely produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio who co-wrote every track on the album (save for one) with Kelis and Todd Simon. First single "Jerk Ribs" is a funky, soulful, groovy little track that shows quite the departure from her last effort, 2010's dance-heavy Flesh Tone... which I loved.
The album is apparently a throwback to vintage soul and gospel-like organs paired with modern electronic flourishes for "a sound that's rootsy without ever being self-consciously retro," says producer Sitek. Upcoming second single "Rumble" best highlights this sound with jazzy horns and Kelis' powerful delivery.
While I would have been plenty happy with a Flesh Tone pt. 2, that's not the type of artist Kelis is. She's arguably never made the same record twice, setting her apart from many of her contemporaries.
Enjoy.
