HOT OR NOT: JACK SPLASH & KELIS – “IN THE FUTURE“
Check out this track from up-and-coming singer/producer Jack Splash featuring Kelis from his upcoming debut, Technology and Love Might Save Us All, which will hit stores September 1.
Sounds like a techno or electronic Prince track to me, but take a listen for yourself.

I LIKE IT.
The sound sounds like Kelis. Some techno, funky kinda sound. It’s decent…she’s a tad bit eclectic to me tho..
I cant listen to it here at work but with kelis on the track, it must be hot…. go kelis congrats on that baby boy…. get that money girl……
MY GIRL IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS WHACK ASS ALL HELL…STOP THE NON SENSE!!!!!!
KELIS SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS A NASAL INFECTION!!!!
when kelis sings “i need you right now”…she sounds like she has a stuffy nose! this song is too damn whack…they both sound stupid!
I THINK KELIS IS A VERY ARTISTIC PERSON BUT THIS SONG REALLY DOESN’T DO IT FOR ME
how dare you compare this to prince
as far as i know Jack Splash been around for a while now.Wouldn’t call him up and coming.Can’t hear this as my internet is slow but i like plant life and i like Kelis so i’m sure it’s some good eclectic, creative and DIFFERENT music.
I agree that Kelis is an artistic person but her artistic nature is not that GREAT…she is by far different but she is also a very MEDIOCRE singer and that is being kind! SORRY, but this song is HORRIBLE!
It’s not bad, (it’s better than the other one they submitted on singersroom.com) but there’s something about it that just doesn’t work for me. I mean, if you’re gonna do Prince, you have to go harder than that and I’m not sure he has the right chops for it. Never really been a Kelis fan and this doesn’t bring me on board. Nothing to get excited about overall.
its ok.
Sounds like Lovestoned by Justin Timberlake
Sounds like a fake Prince..lol..but I like it. Im a huge Kelis fan so I love her part in the song.
hahahah Kelis go to white boys! hahahahaha!
my nigggga Nas smart as fuc….! hahahahahahahahahha!!!!
i like kelis but this isn’t for me- don’t like it at all
This song is trash!!!!!!!!!!
Kelis said her new album will have a techno sound as well!!!!! This song right here is not a good look! I like some of Kelis’ music…but truthfully Kelis can not sing and her being artistic is just another way of saying she is not vocally gifted!
THIS SONG IS FREAKING HOT! I GUESS PEOPLE AREN’T FEELING IT BECAUSE ITS NOT “URBAN”. KELIS SOUNDS REAL SEXY ON THIS TOO. AND SHES NOT EVEN SINGING ON THIS SONG PEOPLE SO HOW COULD U PEOPLE SAY SHE CANNOT SING? YOUTUBE HER LIVE. SHES NO POWERHOUSE, BUT SHE DEFINITELY HAVE HER OWN STYLE OF SINGING AND SHE SOUNDS AMAZING!
KELIS IS BACK AND THIS IS NOT EVEN HER SONG SO PEOPLE STOP HATING.
@17
JACK SPLASH IS BLACK IDIOT.
FACT: KELIS DUMPED NAS
=)
THIS SONG IS THE WORST…KELIS CAN”T SING! SPLASH IS NO PRINCE!!!!!!! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO SONG IT IS THE SONG IS AWFUL!!!!!
This song is so not hot…and it has nothing to do with it not being “urban”! Kelis sang live on 106 & Park and sounded and danced like a damn FOOL! To youtube videos fron 1999 of her performing…does not help the fact that in 2006 and beyond Kelis still can’t sing!!!!!
@THAQUEEN
TO HATE ON KELIS WOULD BE POINTLESS…THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT HER THAT WOULD MAKE ANYONE HATE!
KELIS HAS ALOT A REASON 4 YALL TO HATE ON HER.
SHES A FASHION ICON, MUSICAL GENIUS, INNOVATOR, AMAZING SONGWRITER, BEAUTIFUL HUSKY VOICE AND MIGHT I ADD 55K A MONTH LOL.
HATERS GET OFF KELIS CLIT BECAUSE SHES AHEAD OF ALL THESE WACK GIRLS WHO TRY TO EMULATE HER STYLE AND TRY TO BE LIKE HER. SHES THE ORIGINAL.
@24 SHE WASNT EVEN SINGING ON THAT PERFORMANCE SO U FAIL TRYING TO PROVE YOUR POINT. YOUTUBE KELIS LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM HER TOURING OVERSEAS. THE GIRL CAN PUT ON A SHOW AND SHE DOESNT NEED ALL THAT DRAMATIC WACK ISH EITHER.
KELIS IS THE BADDEST WHETHER U HATEFUL, IGNORANT PPL LIKE IT OR NOT.
I don` t hate Kelis,but SOMEBODY has to tell it like it is,her voice sounds like a man`s.
She`s a golddigger,I`ve lost all respect for this financially broke fake no-talent, European wannabe chick, who is out to get Nas for his paper.She`s just like the way she was before she met Nas-IRREVELANT
Nas probably found out she was a phoney person.She really showed her true colors.After,putting on a front that she was a strong black woman.I`M IN DISBELIEF AND I think it is disgusting how she is trying to live off of Nas like a parasite and I really do believe that she has a mental problem because deepdown inside, Kelis wants to be white(European) she don`t want to black,and I truly wish Nas`s son well and I hope Nas gets joint custody.
I truly don`t dislike Kelis,but come on now,when she sings and if you hear her in interviews she sounds like a tranny,However I do like all the other things about her,her sense of fashion,etc,etc.,So disappointed that their marriage did not work out ,because Nas and Kelis were my two favorite artists,I knew that it would `nt last.It was too good to be true,but may God be with them both

Couldn’t have said it better! : )
I’AM ALSO DISAPPOINTED THAT THEIR MARRIAGE DID NOT WORK…BUT TRUTHFULLY THEY WERE MISMATCHED FROM THE START! I LIKE SOME OF KELIS’ SONGS BUT THE TRUTH IS SHE DOESN’T HAVE A GREAT VOICE AT ALL…HER STYLE IS DIFFERENT BUT NOT NECCESSARILY FLY! I CAN UNDERSTAND HER WANTING TO STAND OUT BUT SHE IS NOT WHAT I WOULD CALL AN ARTIST THAT HAS APPEAL. KELIS IS SOON TO BE 30 YEARS OLD AND I DON’T SEE HER SINGING OR ENTERTAINING ABILITY IMPROVING AT ALL! SHE WILL PROBABLY MAKE MORE MUSIC BUT SHE HAS NEVER REALLY BEEN A CHART STOPPER….MOST OF HER ALBUMS HAVE FLOPPED HERE IN THE US AND IN THE UK SHE NEVER EVEN WENT PLATINUM! HER BEST SELLING ALBUM WAS TASTY…6 YEARS AGO! KELIS IS ONE OF THOSE ARTISTS THAT YOU CALL DIFFERENT…BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW ARTISTS THAT FIT THAT CATEGORY TODAY AND THEY ARE MORE POPULAR AND APPEAL TO A BROADER AUDIENCE THAN KELIS
KELIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BIGGER IN THE EUROPE THAN IN THE U.S. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT? THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT HER OR HER MUSIC.
U PEOPLE ARE PATHETIC! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS WOMAN BUT YOU WANT TO JUDGE HER ON INACCURATE INFO FROM THESE BLOG SITES. STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ IDIOTS AND GET THE TRUE INFO. KELIS ISN’T A GOLD DIGGER, SHE WAS MARRIED TO NAS FOR 6 YEARS…NOT 6 MONTHS, NOT 6 DAYS. BUT 6 YEARS! NAS RUINED THE MARRIAGE BY CHEATING ON HER, BUT YOU PEOPLE DONT WANNA HEAR THAT. YA’LL RATHER BELIEVE THE FALSE ISH AND ACT LIKE NAS IS THE VICTIM WHEN CLEARLY HE’S NOT. ALSO, JUST BECAUSE KELIS DID WHAT MOST BLACK WOMAN ARE SCARED TO DO, FILE FOR DIVORCE ON THEIR CHEATING HUSBAND AND CHILD SUPPORT YALL WANNA HATE! KELIS DID IT AND SHE DESERVE EVERY PENNY! HE SHOULD’VE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HE DID BEFORE CHEATING ON HER.
YOU HATE ON KELIS ALL U WANT, BUT SHE IS STILL THE BADDEST!
@32
JUST BECAUSE KELIS DOESNT SOUND LIKE THE TYPICAL R&B SINGER DOESNT MAKE HER A BAD SINGER. YOU SOUND STUPID FIRST OF ALL. KELIS HAS NEVER BEEN THE ONE WHO TRIED TO BE A TYPICAL R&B SINGER. SHE IS NO POWERHOUSE SINGER BUT THE GIRL CAN DO ALOT WITH HER VOICE. ALSO, KELIS “TASTY” ALBUM SOLD 2 MILLION WW THANKS TO 1 SINGLE, “MILKSHAKE” SO YOUR INFO IS FALSE. ALL THESE SO CALLED “DIFFERENT” ARTISTS NOWADAYS ARE GENERIC AND WATERED DOWN POSERS THAT RECORD LABELS CREATE. NONE OF THEM ARE AUTHENTIC AND AMAZING LIKE KELIS. THIS WOMAN CAN DO ANY AND EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC AND PULL IT OFF EFFORTLESSLY. MIGHT I ADD SHES A TRENDSETTER, THESE LATE R&B/POP GIRLS ARE STILL BITING HER 2006 LOOK NOW IN 2009. NOW TELL WHAT OTHER FEMALE ARTIST CAN DO THAT? NONE! KELIS IS AHEAD OF HER TIME.
@THAQWEEN you are going hard for Kelis…LMAO!!!!! You have got to be her # 1 fan…you need to save you energy so you can rally up more Kelis supports for here next album won’t FLOP!
Let’s face it coloring your hair multi-colors and dressing different does not make you a fashion icon or a star. There are many women who dress like Kelis in the world of Harlem and in Europe! Kelis copies her style from others just like everyone else… Kelis is no originator! What awards has Kelis won for her amazing song writing…LOL? What credible source labeled Kelis as a musical genius…LOL? The only thing Kelis may get some credit for is her sense of fashion….but she is not the designer of what she wears…so she can’t possibly get credit for what she didn’t design! The designer made mass production of the clothing that Kelis wears so anyone and everyone can “emulate” that style! Yes, Kelis has performed overseas and I’ve watched her YouTube performance and she doesn’t sound awful but she still is no humming bird and her voice is still deep and not that great at all!
KELIS IS THE REASON WHY THESE GIRLS CHANGED THEIR STYLE. NO OTHER BLACK FEMALE ARTIST WAS DOING WAT SHE WAS DOING FASHION WISE OR MUSIC WISE UNTIL SHE CAME ALONG. ITS FUNNY HOW PEOPLE TRY SO HARD TO DISCREDIT KELIS, BUT CREDIT PUPPETS LIKE RIHANNA, WHO SWAGGER JACKS KELIS’S STYLE BIG TIME AND DOESNT HAVE NO SENSE OF STYLE. ALL THESE R&B GIRLS ARE LATE AND ARE ALL DOING NOW WHAT KELIS DID YEARS AGO! RIHANNA, KEYSHIA COLE, CHRISETTE MICHELE, CASSIE, KERI HILSON AND ETC. WHEN KELIS CUT HER HAIR ALL THESE CHICKS WERE ROCKING BLONDE LONG HAIR.
@36 YOU SEEM VERY MISINFORMED ABOUT KELIS BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU ARE STATING IS INVALID.
KELIS HAS WON NUMEROUS AWARDS OVERSEAS. KELIS IS ALSO MATTHEW WILLIAMSON’S FASHION MUSE. KELIS ISN’T A LABEL WHORE AND SHE CAN ROCK ANYTHING AND MAKE IT LOOK FLY.
ABOUT HER VOICE, KELIS HAS A DEEP RASPY VOICE, AS WELL AS TONI BRAXTON, ANITA BAKER, SARAH VAUGHN AND ETC. SO THEY ARE ALL BAD SINGERS AS WELL JUST BECAUSE THEIR VOICE AREN’T LIKE TYPICAL HIGH PITCHED FEMALE BLACK ARTISTS? YOU SOUND REAL IGNORANT . THINK BEFORE YOU POST UTTERLY B.S.
wow @ the post above mee…
i do agree Kelis has always been
original and ppl do tend to not
give her credit….
anywhoo i think the song is
AIIGHT…its border line but then
its borderline whack to me…
i def. wanna hear more frm
her tho…
FeFe Dobson n Kelis are coming back…
Rihannas running scared!
@THAQWEEN…I KNOW YOU ARE NOT COMPARING KELIS TO ANITA BAKER, TONI BRAXTON OR SARAH VAUGHN…LOL! YOU ARE TRULY A CRAZY BAT CASE….THESE WOMEN MAKE KELIS SOUND LIKE A DEAD HORSE! KELIS…WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME CLASS AS ANITA, TONI OR SARAH!!!!
ya’ll are haters kelis is the ish her music is so0o original listen to her earlier music back when she was with star trek i love an artist that follows their own beat. how is she a gold digger, jus because shes makin nas pay $55k in child support! i agree $55k a month is crazy but thats the lifestyle they live. I dont know the insight on their relationship but if a husband is unfaithful then he shall pay the price! Its cheaper to keep her! haha
@40
ANOTHER MISINFORMED HATER.
YOUTUBE KELIS “GET ALONG WITH YOU” LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM MTV UK, KELIS’ “MARATHON” AND KELIS “BRASS IN POCKET”. THIS GIRL HAS A BEAUTIFUL HAUNTING RASPY VOICE. SHE DOESNT SHOWCASE IT MUCH, BUT SHE HAS ONE!
NOW KICK ROCKS!
Somebody that truly truly cares about Kelis,should pull her aside and say baby,it`s not Nas or the FANS,IT`S YOU ! Because her style of music EuroTechno is played out,it went out in the 80`s,it is a non-traditional movement and style of music that does not appeal to the masses of people,.it is admirable that she wants to be ecletic and different,but with a new baby,at some point she has to be a realist,the sales of her albums are so bad that her record label dropped her,This girl is obsessed with being European.Please Kelis call Professor Skip Gates,because just like you he too thought he was white until he got a rude wake-up call when that white police officer arrested him in his own home,reminding him that he is black.
i’m glad Kelis got some fans she will need the support to make some money for her broke ass!!! Rihanna, Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys, Keri Hilson, Ciara ect are all more successfull than Kelis has ever been! Kelis is a 30 year old who reached her career peak in 2003 with TASTY…10 years in the game and her ass is BROKE! Well, for all those who supposedly copied Kelis style they made a better career off of her than Kelis did trying to be original…LMAO!!!! So CONGRATS to KELIS…she made more artists more successful off of her supposed original creativity than she did for herself!!!!
I don`t want no chick with a deep raspy voice that is deeper than mine.We might be asleep in the bed one night ,and she might be talking in her sleep and wake me up with her baritone voice and I might think that a man,broke into our apartment.Kelis is an attractive girl,but I can`t get past her deep voice,it`s not feminine at all
Why does the 1 or 2 fans that Kelis has cheering for her on this site keep mentioning Nas paying Kelis 55k! I think they are misinformed about the reality of that 55k…but I’ll let them figure that out! Her fans are happy that Kelis has some money for them to brag about now…THANKS TO NAS! While Beyonce who is married to Jay-z and has her own money and Rihanna who has several major endorsements has her own money and all Kelis gets is the opportunity to walk a cat walk once a year and a one time commercial deal with FORD…which FLOPPED!!!!!! Kelis is and will continue to be a NON-BOSSY artist! She dissed the Neptunes…and called them bad business men ! But it’s her ass who is broke after a 10 year caeer…now that’s SO NOT BOSSY!!!!
KELIS HAS THE HATERS MAD AS HELL!
WHY? BECAUSE SHE IS THE BADDEST BOSS CHICK IN THE GAME.
THE CHICK RIHANNA WANTS TO BE SO BADLY, THE ONE BEYONCE HAS BEEN COPYING FOR YEARS AND THESE OTHER WACK R&B CHICKS.
NONE OF THESE GIRLS ARE AS CREATIVE OR AS INNOVATIVE AS KELIS. THEY ALL MAY SALE MORE THAN HER BECAUSE THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY THE LABEL, WHICH I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT.
BUT KELIS WILL ALWAYS BE ABOVE THEM ALL WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC AND FASHION AND THAT’S FACT!
WHY THESE IGNORANT PEOPLE KEEP SAYING SHE WANTS TO BE EUROPEAN? KELIS HAS BEEN DOING DANCE/EURO TYPE TRACKS SINCE 2000! JUST BECAUSE THESE CHICKS ARE NOW DOING IT, KELIS ISN’T THE ONE TO FOLLOW TRENDS. SHE’S BEEN THERE AND SHES DOING IT AGAIN ON A FEATURE. NONE OF THESE LATE R&B CHICKS WILL NEVER BE AS BAD AS KELIS…NEVER! THEY’RE ALL BALD HEADED WITH DIRTY LACEFRONTS & TOUPEES, WITH LATE LAME STYLE.
WATCH WHEN KELIS DROPS HER NEW MUSIC ON HER NEW MAJOR RECORD LABEL LATER ON THIS YEAR. U GIRLS WILL BE MORE MAD! LOL LOL
@ThAQWEEN…WE WILL BE WATCHING ANOTHER FLOP…LOL!!!!
WATCH WHEN KELIS DROPS HER NEW MUSIC ON HER NEW MAJOR RECORD LABEL LATER ON THIS YEAR….SHE WILL FLOP AGAIN! RIHANNA WILL SALE, BEYONCE WILL SALE AND KELIS WILL CONTINUE TOO FLOP!!!!!
HEY THAQWEEN…ALL WE WILL BE WATCHING IS ANOTHER MAJOR LABEL DROP KELIS YET AGAIN WHEN HER NEW ALBUM FLOPS!
Hot record.
Bossy is a state of mind, an attitude if you must, and NOT what’s in your bank account.
^^^^WELL KELIS ATTITUDE AND STATE OF MIND IS BROKE!!!!!!
I’M NOT MAD AT KELIS FOR GETTING $55,000/MONTH FROM NAS. THESE RAPPERS ARE ALWAYS BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE AND THEY’RE BALLING AND ALL THAT. SO IF YOU GOT IT LIKE THAT THEN WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Kelis is right back in the same position she was before she met NAS,WHICH IS BROKE and living in a roach infested tiny apartment that`s located by a loud subway station,in Harlem. She ain`t got two good quarters to rub together,except to run to the judge crying about how she don`t sell enough records to make any money and that`s why she can`t keep her broke golddiggin hands out of Nas`s pockets.She better go to the ATM machine and try to withdraw that last 2 dollars that is left in her bank account.
Kelis is right back in the same position she was before she met Nas,which is broke.,and living in a tiny roach infested apartment in Harlem.She can`t keep her golddiggin hands out of Nas`s pockets because she don`t sell enough records to support herself.Nas is not a bank.She better go to the ATM machine and try to withdraw that last 2 dollars in her bank account
This song is ill! I think critics on this blog need to be told not to hate what they cannot yet understand. It is new and original material and it is dope!!!
That female demon would die to have kelis ‘s originality and creativity or just her style. Look how she tried too hard to be “fierce”. Sorry it aint workin on her.When it comes to kelis, its all natural.
@KEISHA
JUST BECAUSE YOU LIVING LIKE THAT DOESN’T MEAN KELIS IS.
KELIS HAS BEEN LIVING THE LAVISH LIFE SINCE 1999. DON’T ENVY HER BECAUSE SHES GETTING WHAT U CANT EVEN MAKE IN A YEAR…55K AND BECAUSE SHE PRETTIER THAN YOU.
ITS ALWAYS UGLY JEALOUS BLACK WOMAN WHO WANNA HATE SO BAD. GET A LIFE.
Sounds like some early 80′s Prince! I like it. Love that beat!
ewww, this is bullshit.
