New Song: Kelis – ‘Acapella’

kelis-acapella

Musical innovator Kelis is back with a new offering entitled ‘Acapella’. The track, which was produced by David Guetta, will be featured on her fifth studio album, due out early next year. The LP will feature productions from Burnz, DJ Ammo, Boys Noize, Diplo and Switch, and Free School.

Having purchased Kelis’ last album, ‘Kelis Was Here’, and thoroughly enjoyed almost every track, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t perplexed after listening to this song. However, there lies the beauty of Kelis! She is one of the few singers who constantly finds new ways of revolutionising their sound; never producing redundant material. A lot of singers (some of whom have great shoulder pads…) have emulated Kelis’ appeal over the years yet none have successfully captured her unique blend of R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop/Rock. I am definitely eager to here what else she is going to put forward.

Hit or Miss?

    i like it, i think that it will be a grower. I agree with sam she is one of the few artists that leaves u guessing where her style will go next. i loved Kelis was here my flat mate use to play in all the time esp AWWW S*** (what a tune). But sadly people wern’t feeling it that much.

    Sounds pop like or something the Caucasian people will love to death. Good crossover song for sure.

    I love this.
    Kelis is one of the most underrated artists today, but this jsut proves how original and fresh she can be.

    I’ve had this on repeat. ABSOLUTE GOLD.

    Kelis has always been too left-field to find huge success in the US, which is why I love her so much. Like all of her previous songs, this one’s obviously a grower… and I’m glad she’s taking a new direction. It’s smart to appeal to the European audiences- where she’s always been much more successful. Though she will always be the proto-Neptunes diva to me…

    I have a soft spot for the underdogs and , no doubt about it, Kelis is one those. I BOUGHT all her albums and I’ll purchase this one. Love the song and her voice.
