Kelis - C/D

i'm on the tennis court this morning and what pops into my head but BOSSY! so random, playing tennis with that video in mind.

I always thought it was cruel of her to dye her poodle green in that video. At least you weren't playing tennis with "Blindfold Me" video in mind. That would've been weird.

Know what's a great song? Help Me, the track she did with Timo Maas some years back.

"Milskahe" bridge = best bridge EVAH
Kills me every time.

"Help Me" is classic and more people should know about it. Sadly, this chick's career is kinda dead. I've been a fan (moreso of her persona) since day one and hoped that one day she would make a real masterpiece of an album front to back, but I don't see it happening. Wanderland was the closest she came, imo. I hope the future proves me rong.

kaleidoscope is so freakin good

Is Kelis still single? Kelis, call me!

holy donna summer! digging it.

Is this an actual Kelis single or some kind of collab-o? The production reminds me of Stephan Bodzin circa 2006/2007.

It's good.

I wonder whether if she (or whoever) came up with the lyrics to the chorus ("Before you my whole life was a cappella...") before or after hearing the breakdown.

No clue, but it's good to have her back. I quite like this. While Kelis Was Here never grew on me the way I wanted it to, Kaleidoscope and Wanderland are 00s classics.

I remember Patrick Wolf tweeting something a couple of months back about getting to write/produce a track or two with Kelis for her new album. Curious to see what came of that.

this was produced by david guetta. i'm not 100% on it.

wkiw david guetta

I read that it was a Guetta track, and it sounds like him, although I like it a GREAT deal more than most of the stuff he's put out this year. I'm not sure if that's because he's reigned himself in from the tackier side of things, of if it's due to what Kelis brings to the table. Probably both.

Kelis meets PETA.

hahahaha

(avoid the comments, obv)

(avoid the comments, obv) is good advice for 98% of blogs.

Underpaid minorities picking your vegetables, now that's fine for you right? Please, fight for their rights. How about the poverty in the communities of brown people around the world.

Kind of misses that fact that you can campaign for human rights *and* animal rights without any contradiction?

That rebuttal misses the point she's making, namely that time spent campaigning for animal rights is time you could have spent campaigning for human rights.

the one-up in the more worthy cause dept. is usually used by people who support no cause other then 'look at how cynical and world-weary I am.' still, she is hot and I like her :)

It's also made by people who really really really hate PETA.

the time spent writing whiney myspace blogs is time that could have been spent campaigning for women's rights

or buying fur, or appearing in music videos, etc, etc, etc.

I know, right?

there are days when BOSSY is the best song in the world

not in my world!

I really like Acapella. Despite it being a DG produced track.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

song/video are so incredible

i like the video but not the song v much - it's nearly v affecting but misses the mark a bit. part of this is david guetta being a fucking dreadful producer. i don't really think the vocal really fits the beat tbh.

I have a kinda begrudging respect for DG. You can do way worse for bald-faced mersh-house.

and this beat is grrrrreat

the harmonies on this are v Amerie

Dope tune! The vocals have a nice, airy and timeless dance pop quality, it's nothing like the Kelis stuff I've heard previously. And the beat is like something that could've come out on Harthouse in 1995... That's not a bad thing, though, but I was kinda surprised how retro it sounds. If 90s are becoming trendy again, then this surely a sign of that? You could've played that tune to me blind and claimed it was from 1996, and I would've had no problem believing that.

amazing video

man, cool video. (though maybe the costumes work less well toward the end.)

have been loving that track for months - happy it will be a single! way better than the other new shit that's leaked.

song = david guetta can eat a dick

video = kelis stunting on minaj

beat is dope imo

Waiting for a decent remix over here. Glad this exists though.

her new stuff isn't all produced by guetta is it?

can't believe people on here swoon over this cliche pop-occult pagan costume gemstone wolves nature soil shit every single fucking time any bint chances her arm. SO OVER. it was bad enough on the lolguilera mystery thread!

Eh? I thought the video was nice enough, but the song would be good regardless of what's in the video.

I mean, I don't think people in this thread are giving props to "Acappella" just because of the video.

The twitchy dead baby feet costume is too crepey. (And even when she does turn around and you see live babby, it then becomes a case of gal has big hips, that must hurt the kid to have his legs spread like that.)

song was enjoyable but i've already forgotten it. huskies <3 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

pop-occult pagan costume gemstone wolves nature soil shit

haha. but i really think this video is a particularly good example of this aesthetic. great colours man...

welcome back to the land of sexy, Kelis

Also why do people hate David Guetta so much? Is he too obvious or something, aka "the William Orbit Effect"?

This song is really nice. Video looks like something Björk would have made in her heyday... a very good thing.
