Crucially, Kelis doesn't feel like she's using drums as a strainer-filter for all the messy emotion of R&B.

i don't think she's copied her, merely that they appear to be mining similar territory. fan of both ftr.

Just pulled out wanderland again. Haven't listened to it in years and it drives me nuts that they've yanked all the stuff from it from youtube on copyright grounds, which is insane because its like you didn't even release the album in the states! why won't you just let people hear it!
start-to-finish one of my favorite albums still. other albums and artists probably have better individual tracks. but it has a consistency of vision and an overall structure that just knocks me out. Also this is probably my favorite period of neptunes productions. another buried kelis/neptunes classic circa about the same period is Royce Da 5'9"'s Make This Run. love how the production feels looped and regular and super-electronic but simultaneously sort of subtly evolves over the course of the tracks with a subtly organic feel. its like it keeps time with my breathing. and the imagery with the wings is just next level.

the intro on junkie is so playful.

the futurism/conscious stuff in little suzie especially, its like the direct predecessor to janelle monae. i wonder how different kelis' career could have been if this was a hit in the states.

I just heard the last part of a great interview w/ Kelis on the broadcast of the "BBC World Service" (for either March 4 or 5, I would guess)
anyone know where I can find the rest of it? google is no help.

One of these, maybe? Kelis seems to have been on BBC Radio a lot in the past couple of days.http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/iplayer/?q=kelis

solid jam
by all accounts Nas was a terrible husband and his story of their relationship on "Bye Baby" is probably a load of bullshit, but this image stuck with me:

https://pitchfork.com/news/kelis-says-she-wasnt-told-beyonce-sampled-her-on-renaissance/
“Milkshake” is interpolated on Beyonce's “Energy.” When she heard the song was sampled, Kelis likened it to “theft.” She is not listed as one of the producers, composers, or lyricists on the sampled song and has previously discussed the terms of her early contract.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 29 July 2022 11:32 (one year ago) link
It's the delivery of the lines "On stage, rockin', I'm star crazy, Cocoa flow like 1980's" using the flow from the Milkshake hook that's in question? used to be a commonplace and benign thing to make references like that
maybe I'm not hearing it right
― corrs unplugged, Friday, 29 July 2022 11:42 (one year ago) link
Kelis thinks she should have gotten a songwriting credit for "Milkshake" long ago, but acknowledges she signed a contract then. So since there's a credit on the B album to the Neptunes for the "interpolation" she thinks she should have been credited as well. But yeah that used to be commonplace to make melodic references like that.

So she's dating Bill Murray. Huh.

I don't have any actual opinion about Kelis dating Bill Murray, I just thought it was interesting in a "pictures of famous people you wouldn't expect together" way.
