▐▓█▌▓ ▓▐█▓▌
▐██▌▌ ▐▐██▌
▐█▓▌ Long awaited Kelis album called "Tasty", featuring the hit ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ single "Milkshake". Guests spots from Nas, Andre 3000 from ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Outkast, and Raphael Saadiq. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ It's just under two years since we first got a chance to ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ step into Kelis' world. Her debut album, Kaleidoscope, was a ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ landmark record of psychedelic sci-fi soul that moved in an ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ orbit all its own. When you take the generosity of spirit ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ and higher love of vintage Stevie Wonder, give it the space ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ age treatment of production superheroes The Neptunes, and ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ add a born superstar barely out of her teens, you've got ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ something very special indeed. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Last year, this something very special secured three Top 40 ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ hits (Caught Out There, Good Stuff and Get Along With You), ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ and cleaned up on the awards circuit, scooping the Brit for ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Best International Newcomer, the Q award for Best video ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ (Caught Out There) and the NME gong for best R&B Singer. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Kelis remembers: "As an artist you learn how to make the ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ business, but all you really want is respect for your work. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ The fact that it happened at the first go around is kind of ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ amazing. It was a surprise that anyone listened at all!" ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ They'll be listening again to Wanderland. Even more fearless ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ than Kaleidoscope, it again rewrites the script, flinging ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ the purest soul to the furthest sonic reaches. Pharrell ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Williams describes it as "Retro-pop. Year 3000. But retro. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ That doesn't make sense, but that's how we are." ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Complimenting PharrellÆs portrayal of their sound and style, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Kelis herself sheds light on the titleÆs significance: ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ "We're all wandering in this world searching for something, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ and this is my search." ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Kelis' search began in Harlem, New York in 1980. The ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ daughter of Pentecostal Minister Kenneth, and children's ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ clothes designer Iveliss (hence Ke-lis), Kelis Rogers was ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ always as individual as her name. The youngest of three ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ daughters, she began travelling across America with her ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ father (also a jazz saxophonist) to sing at his sermons, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ while soaking up the classic soul her mother played. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ With a defiantly independent streak, it is no surprise Kelis ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ didn't fit in at her predominately white Upper East Side ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ private school. At 13, she was already looking elsewhere, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ becoming a model on the covers of fashion and teen ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ magazines. A year later she enrolled in LaGuardia, the ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ performing arts school immortalised in the movie, Fame. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Her first proper venture into music was a girl group called ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ BLU (Black Ladies United), which didn't last long, but ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ procured the ears of hip-hop producer Goldfinghaz, who gave ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ her a spot on the second album by RZA side project, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Gravediggaz. Leaving home at 16, she struck out on her own. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ It wasn't easy at first, but two years later she met ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Virginia Beach production duo Pharrell Williams and Chad ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Hugo, aka the Neptunes, and subsequently landed a deal with ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Virgin Records. Her first foray into the music worldÆs ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ center stage on Ol' Dirty Bastard's delirious hit Got Your ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Money, a single which turned out to be the anthem of its ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ time, set the stage for her first full length album, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Kaleidoscope. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Even in the context of a golden age for cutting edge R&B, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ Kelis stood out from the crowd thanks to her sheer ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ originality. A modern soul singer who attracts the attention ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ of U2 and Moby, sings the praises of Basement Jaxx and Muse, ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ defines her own image without using stylists, and has fresh ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ and witty opinions to spare, all without throwing tantrums ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ in hotel rooms, is not your usual off-the-peg vixen. ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ In the many months since KelisÆ distinct image made the ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ world do a double take, this multi-talented phenom has ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ certainly remained busy. "There are a lot of things that ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ have happened, but I don't even know where to start," she ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ laughs. It's all one big blur. But this year things have ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ finally settled down. Now it's more about dealing with ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ situations rather than being surprised by them." Dealing ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ with these situations has allowed her to leave her mark in ▐▓█▌
▐█▓▌ all circles of the world. ▐▓█▌
