Billboard Previews "Flesh Tone"
Billboard.com published a preview of Kelis’ forthcoming album, “Flesh Tone,” and though there are no clips, two track titles are revealed!
Following a tumultuous year that included a highly publicized divorce from rapper Nas, the birth of her first child and numerous family court hearings, Kelis is finally back with a new label home, a new album and a new sound.
Now signed to Interscope Records through will.i.am Music Group, she premiered the single “Acapella”-her first new material since 2006’s “Kelis Was Here”-online in November. On the track, produced by David Guetta and inspired by her son, the New York-raised singer/songwriter takes her hip-hop-driven style in a more electronic/dance direction.
Other songs on the anticipated eight-song project include “4th of July,” produced by DJ Ammo; “Kids,” inspired by homosexual clubgoers; the acoustic-guitar based “Carefree American,” produced by Jean Baptiste; and “Alive,” helmed by Diplo. Kelis is currently in the studio with label head Will.i.am.
There are also rumors swirling that the album is set to be released sometime in April! We’ll confirm OR deny that in a later post.
Stay tuned for the latest Kelis news!
