Should the industry need require a reference for cool, relevant and refreshingly human – they can look up Mama Kelis circa Flesh Tone. It has been interesting to watch Kelis come full circle from being the irreverent youth circa ‘Caught Out There’ to now, the bold artiste in a league of her own. See tracks like: ‘Brave’ (“I’m not ashamed of winning, but it wasn’t that way in the beginning”) and the down-to-earth ode to her newborn, ‘Song For The Baby’ (“I never sugar-coat any life lessons for you, ’cause I wanna make you equipped for the best”). Having said that, it is the more personal songs rendering Flesh Tone in a deeper dimension that takes our listening experience to new levels of satisfaction. The euphoric lead single ‘Acapella’ and ‘4th of July (Fireworks)’ present themselves as potential roof-raisers even if the Australian club scene has yet to embrace them. Where the call was put out for emancipatory songs, she had also delivered with ‘Emancipate’ and ‘Scream’ – both prime examples of Flesh Tone at its most carnal. Uber beat makers David Guetta, Benny Benassi and her new label boss, Will.i.Am weave a seamless electro soundscape connected by “segues” but you’d be hard-pressed to find many obvious club anthems here. There was a time when the ‘Milkshake’ mama bored us witless with generic crunk’n’b stylings but after taking a two-year recess where she trained to be a chef, Kelis is back with a new sound.įlesh Tone is the game changer Kelis needed: a futuristic dance record without the gimmicky lyrics. I am grateful for the powers that be for getting Kelis her groove back.
