From The Vault: Kelis – ‘Get Along With You’

Published: Sunday 22nd Nov 2009 by Sam

This week’s classic From The Vault video is Kelis‘ year 2000 clip for ‘Get Along With You’, which was lifted from her debut ‘Kaleidoscope’. Directed by Paul Hunter, this video really ushered the emergence of the alternate, left-field Kelis that we grew to know and love. While the former Ms Nas’ industry contemporaries were churning out the same ol’, same ol’, she hit us with this this deep, multi-layered take on the song’s underlying message – how someone’s love and the need to “get along with them” is more substantial than material possessions and even the world itself. Awesome video! I need me some new Kelis ASAP.

Tidbit: Did this remind anyone else of ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’?

    i am so happy for her, she does not get the credit she deserves, everyone slept on her last album can’t wait until she drops another one.

    Innovator..something Rihanna will NEVER be.
    Kelis has never been the type of artist to be something shes not. She has always been honest with her music and her style. Risk taker. Shes the reason why girls like Rihanna want to be edgy.
    Kelis coming back in 2010 full force. Beware!

    I wish she’d reunite with the Neptunes. They worked magnificently together.

    I used to be crazy about that song; I still love it to this day, and her debut is one of the best ever. I can’t wait for her new material!
