Kelis shows Jimmy Kimmel her 'Acapella' live - watch now!

Kelis' new track has been banging around for months now, but it seems that all her efforts (ie showing up at a club or two) have paid off, as she finally gets to hear MUSIC LEGEND JIMMY KIMMEL say that she has a "number one dance single."  *confetti*

Then she performs.  And it is good.  But we can't help fearing that this single performance may usher back in the era of happy-hardcore and glowsticks and lasers and neon and ecstasy and candy necklaces (necklaci?) that was SO GOOD when it happened the first time but SO BAD the morning after and EVEN WORSE each and every morning after that. 



Aside from being hellbent on ushering in a pop culture era of doom, Kelis has turned into quite the little performer, hasn't she?

Kelis shows us her big, bulging 'Acapella' in new video

We gave you a preview of the 'Acapella' video the other day, and many of you thought it could either go HORRIBLY WRONG or be the VIDEO THAT SAVES POP.  Luckily for everyone, the clip tends heavily toward the latter.  There's a sort of Avatar thing at the beginning then a sort of Mummy Returns thing then a bit of writhing in a dress like Kylie would do and then everything ends in a desert. 

And it is good.



The album, 'Flesh Tones' is out this summer (maybe June 22 but we're not really sure)

Kelis teases us with her 'Acapella' vid - watch now!

We've already gone on and on about how Kelis's new single, and in fact her whole new sound, is AMAZING and will CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER so we'll spare you that whole bit again.  Instead we'll just say that the song 'Acapella' deserves a very good video, and if this teaser clip is anything to go by, that's what it got.  In it there is NEON and COMPUTER GENERATED THINGS and STUFF THAT FLASHES IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC and because of all of these things is ACCEPTABLE. 



The full video debuts in a couple days, and we can't wait.  We're still calling sound of the summer for this bad boy. 

Kelis has unexpectedly become a HUGE GAY DIVA - watch the video now

So when we heard 'Acapella' a few months back we knew Kelis was going for a....different market... than she was in her previous work.  A rave-up anthem with soaring vocals and tight harmonies, it was worlds away from anything she had done before, but somehow fit her to a tee. 

Well if this video is anything to go by, she is well on her way to ruling the gay scene in a big way with her new album.  As weird as it might sound, we're predicting the sound of the summer to be the new Kelis album.  Remember, you heard it here first. 

Here's Kelis at Club 57 in NYC to promote her forthcoming album 'Flesh Tones.'  Don't let the dodgy video or crap sound put you off - look at the hat, the outfit, the dancing, and tell me she doesn't 'get it.'



"Flesh Tones" is out May 4

Kelis celebrates '4th of July' on new leaked track - listen now

So another track has leaked from Kelis' upcoming dance album.  If you recall, we posted 'Acapella,' an absolutely brilliant club track that made us super duper excited about the whole project. 


Now there's this, and while the quality isn't the best, the whole sound of the project is shaping up to be pretty damn great, don't you think?
