♫ Kelis – 22nd Century
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
Kelis has been in the news lately for more than her music. However, these two new tracks from her upcoming album, Flesh Tone are sure to redirect fans’ attention.
The first of the tracks is “22nd Century,” produced by Freeschool.
♫ Kelis – 4th of July
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
Next up is the DJ Ammo-produced song, “4th of July.” From the response that Kelis has gotten from her mixtape, the video and live performances of her current single, “Acapella,” fans are digging what Kelis will bring this time around on Flesh Tone, which will hit stores July 6th.
Kelis is a smart woman… these are all club bangers and will attract both serious party goers and will be played to death at the gay clubs. All that I’ve heard so far sound like real winners and are radio friendly. Good job if this is the direction she’s chosen; I think it’s a good move for her career. Techno-induced music seems to be the way right now.
I love every song, I’ve heard so far. Can’t wait till July 6th.
THAT PIC CREEPS ME OUT
@ WOW…LMFAOOOO.
Kelis is cool with me.
sidenote: I would rather look @ the KFC advertisement than these funny looking twins again. ewwww.
Luv ” Acapella ” , I`m just so glad that Kelis is back. She`s one of my favorite artists .
Eh. Is aight.
koo w me..she got her own swag, make that cake
AGREE @ 5STARCHICK
WHY THE TWINS LOOK LIKE IF RIHANNA AND CIARA HAD A BABY TOGETHER?
Lol @ 5 star chick and WOW those twins are ugly as hell and they are EVERYWHERE on the site lol. I’m feeling the new Kelis tho. It’s hot and she’s gonna sell.
^^^^ Roflmao!!
All Kelis’ music sounds alike this dance techno sound is boring after a few listens! This is that pill popping type garbage! 22nd Century and 4th of July is so repetitve the same lines over & over…BORING! Her voice is so raspy and dead sounding!
HOT!! THE MIXTAPE WAS HOT AND THOZ TWO R MONSTERS!!! KELIS IS THE ORIGINATOR HA!!! WISH HER MAJOR SUCCESS ITS DESERVED!!
@No Way Totally agree. 22nd Century is horrible, her voice sounds disgusting, its just the same lines over and over and it sounds like she has a speech impediment when she sings ‘we are the stars’ this just will not do Kelis. These songs are dreadful. So dreary and repetitive, I’d rather listen to whale song. Just awful. Its a shame I can’t un-listen it now…
Im feeling “4th of July” a little more than “22nd Century” But ya know im one of Kelis’ #1′s so I support her 100 percent!!! Can’t wait till the Album
Not my taste…
crakkin up @ ZACK #14…
Talkin bout’ he can’t un-listen to it now….. 2funny.
Im likin what im hearing from ms kelis these days!
LOVE
ME
SOME
KELIS
YOU GO KELIS
SHES SMART
THIS UP BEAT DANCE MUSIC WILL GO BIG IN EUROPE WHERE THE REAL MONEY IS
SO HAPPY SHE IS BACK
Most black people will not like this because its not “urban” enough, but the white audience are LOVING these songs.
Kelis bringing DANCE music, real DANCE music. Ignorant people just don’t know what to say on here, so they say dumb ass comments. As for the lyrics, yes they’re repetitive, but still catchy as hell.
There’s no other black female artist right now doing this type of music and Kelis is doing more than a great job pulling it off.
Do your thang mama!
and then people say riri cant sing….
co-sign @ 123
This girl sounds like she swallowed a frog. Lmao @ how people are always “urban” and “ignorant” for not liking Kelis. The bish can’t sing so I’ll be whatever word you want to call me. This is all garbage!
She was smart this time around…. her music is aimed at the right audience!
Cool tracks… but I can only listen to **bump, bump, bump**, the same repetitive beats for so long
how did she ever get a deal? I mean in real life WTF a mess a Hot Mess this chick is broke and she spen $$$ putting out this album. i wouldn’t even buy this on bootleg
@channelxonr: White people can give to sh!ts about whack a** Kelis. They did not care about her back in 1999 and they don’t care in 2010. The urban market sure don’t care about Kelis lack of vocal talent her middle age self needs to retire and stop trying to act young fresh and new because she couldn’t sing then and she sounds like a strangled cat now HORRIBLE to the 10th power. You are the ignorant one mad because people like talent and not garbage.
lmao co-sign @ Nike
@123
Rihanna CAN’T sing and thats FACT! Kelis is no powerhouse vocalist, but she definitely shits and piss all over Rihanna without even trying.
Youtube Kelis’ acoustic live performances. Rihalien could never!
And so much hate towards Kelis is hilarious. Rihanna stans should be the last to talk about another artists music because all Rihanna-Herpes does is release wack ass music. She will never come for Kelis’ creativity, songwriting or vocals.
LMAO at Nike with the multiply names, co-signing with yourself. How pathetic can you be? Get a life! As a matter fact, just shoot yourself in the face. That would be one less low-life, hater in the world.
“Youtube Kelis’ acoustic live performances”…Lol at this statement! Youtube it for what she still sounds a f*cking mess! Mediocre singing for 2% of the times she has performed does not mean she is a great singer. Just because she sounded decent 2% out of the 100 times she has performed that does not excuse the terrible vocals she dispalys 99.8% of the time! Whack is whack and Kelis, as well as, others hold that title so she does not share it alone!
@30 aka Nike aka 123,
No one gives a fuck about your irrelevant opinion. You’re a bitter, upset Rihanna stan. I would be upset too if my fave sounded like a goat getting rape by a dog.
At the end of the day, Kelis will continue to make better music than your fave and all you can do is bring up sales, which i don’t give a fuck about.
Kelis is TRUE artist. No gimmick here. Stylish bitch with the attitude to match it.
Your posing ass favorite is a joke. Illuminati ass herpes smut.
CHECK MY LINE OUT @ mlewclothing.bigcartel.com more items to come. JUST A BROTHA WITH A DREAM! LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
#27 AMEN
rihanna could never! both are no powerhouse at all kelis’ voice is very deep but this girl’s visions & creativity r no jokes, girl never got the credists she deserved but she was the first to put the neptunes to the light real talk, she was one of the first to work with bangladesh back in 2006 before a milli or diva came, she had her own extravagant style & doesnt give a f of what u think, while I love riri but she is a pale copy of everyone in the game from gaga to beyonce to fefe dobson to grace jones to kelis!
Give credits where its due! yall r some morons, ignorant dumb fux! first stop the stereotype only hood ghetto rats only appreciate ‘urban’! it takes a real music lover no matter what race the person is to love the diversity! american ppl have lil taste real talk kelis is huge overseas and in europe, thats the damn reason she is releasin her stuff there she is number 5 already in the uk! her album is hot and theosngz r bangin! deal wit it
Kelis’ stans are ridiculous with the bullsh*t today. Kelis doesn’t sh!t or p!ss on anyone unless it’s during her xxx tape she made. In fact if anyone has an std it’s that raggedy wh0re b!tch. Kelis sounds like a man & looks like a fool. Rated R sh!ts on Kelis’ entire career! This b!tch is not original or epic. She is washed up and played out. What creativity? Coloring her hair like rainbow brite every other week doesn’t make her creative! FAIL.
I don’t like Kelis’ new style at all though I am a fan of her past work. These songs area all extremely repetitive with absolutely no replay value IMO.
Chile boo! Rihanna is a grammy winning artist with how many #1 hits? Kelis who?
LMAO@RI-RI HERPES STANS COMING HATING.
KELIS OWNS RIHANNA’S STYLE & LIFE.
TOO BAD SHE CANT ROCK IT LIKE KELIS.
RI-RI HERPES RATED WRECK ALBUM WAS HORRIBLE.
THE HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT COULDNT EVEN DEBUT NO. 1 AFTER HER WACK ASS ALBUM WAS 99 CENTS!
EVEN LYING ON 20/20 COULDNT EVEN DEBUT AT NO. 1.
SHES NOTHING BUT A PRODUCT, A GIMMICK, A FRAUD. SHES LIKE THE POOR MAN’S VERSION OF KELIS, BUT WITH A BIG WATER HEAD AND RETARDED AS HELL.
IN CONCLUSION,
EVERYONE KNOWS KELIS IS BETTER THAN RIHANNA. THAT SHOULDNT EVEN BE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
BETTER MUSIC, BETTER STYLE, TALENT AND CREATIVITY.
SHES NO TRENDSETTER LIKE KELIS, SHE WILL NEVER BE 1 .
KELIS AND THE REST OF THE INNOVATIVE ARTISTS LIKE M.I.A. AND GRACE JONES LAUGH AT ARTISTS LIKE RIHANNA CUZ SHES NOTHING BUT A COPYCAT, WITH NO STAGE PRESSENCE AND WEAK ASS MUSIC.
EVERYTHING RIHALIEN DOING NOW, KELIS DID IT AND DID IT BETTER.
SO CONTINUE TO HATE FUGLY, STD HAVING STANS.
UR FAVE IS A POSER!
maybe now the bitch can pay for her own costumes instead of milking nas for all he’s worth.
Lawd, how did rihanna name get in this post. They both can’t sing period.
WOW @ CHANNELXONR! But yet Rihanna is selling out world tours and performing for 35,000k fans at arenas across the world while Kelis old a$$ is performing at local clubs for 50 people LOL!
Kelis is the truth. These songs will be huge hits for her.
Why are people bringing up Rihtard in a Kelis post?
You’re dead on #1!..
I’m thinking that, this is the direction that a lot of celebs seem to be going..
These tracks of Kelis will definitely get play in the gay clubs and they both sound like party Techno kinda joints all around. Seems like the same thing that Usher is trying to do to with his new CD if any of you all have heard it. The joint he’s got with Will I Am, that OMG is poppy and he has a few others on there as well. Get ya paper peoples..can’t fault them for that…
@channelxonr OH please! We all know the only reason you stan for this played out b!tch is because you see yourself in her. I guess you are both nasty, bitter career-less whores. Ri-Ri didn’t debut at #1? Well honey I think you’d better wake up, at least Rihanna has #1s and platinum albums to show for yourself. Personally attacking other artists and their fans is just desperate.
Lets face it, Kelis can’t even bring a tranny to her yard now. Her time is over, thats why she got dropped and had to go running to Will.i.am for help. Furthermore what trends has Kelis set?? How many grammys does she have?? Exactly, you avoid Kelis’ failures by insulting other artists. She’s sh!t and you know she’s sh!t. And thats the truth of the matter.
I’m not the type for stan battling but Rihanna stans should be the last talk about other female artists when Rihanna is not even an artist. Platinum plaques, and awards don’t make up for her horrible voice and weak LATE style. Everything Rihanna is trying to do now, Kelis done it already 4 years ago and she did it better might I add. Kelis was the first to cut her hair and shave it off and everybody’s doing now.
As a matter of fact, Rihanna was copying off Beyonce in 2006 while Kelis was the only black female artist with the short asymmetrical haircut.
Rihanna’s late ass tried and looked a fool with her huge head. Shes not eccentric as Kelis because she doesn’t have the attitude to match it, shes no rocker chick like Kelis because Rihanna is a poser. Everything with Rihanna is forced and fake. She tries extremely hard at that. So advice to all you young Rihanna stans, Rihanna is not great.
Kelis released 4 CLASSIC albums (one the way), and NONE of Rihanna’s albums can come close to any of them. Kelis WRITES her own music, shes not a puppet, she doesnt have anyone telling her what to look, she has always been rebellious and she will continue setting trends in music & FASHION and Rihanna will continue to follow them.
FIRE!!! Can’t wait for Flesh Tone!!!
i like 22nd century up until the end, but love 4th of july, while i’m not a fan of this new direction shes goin in i think its a smart move, the only music thats selling now is dance and Adult contemporary r&b. i still think she should do a full album with raphael saadiq, her best songs were with him IMO.
4th of july is doooooooope! this gotta be the next single
dear rih-rih obsessed fans,
kelis would eat rihanna’s swag in her fuckin sleep. rihanna just doesn’t have anything real about her. what everyone loved about kelis was how genuine her unique-ness was…with rihanna you can TELL its packaged and sold that way. kelis was fuckin odd from the beginning which is why she is still the shit. whether her album flopped or not she still shittin on the world…and rihanna.
the end
Kelis will flop she has no Usher’s fan base or Rihanna’s fan base! She is and was always a FLOP! Dance Techno will not help her dead a** career! Kelis fans are delusional if they think that Techno will help her because as her fans stated she has done techno in the past and has still flopped numerous times!
@LOL
SELL OR NOT, THE ALBUM WILL BE BETTER THAN RIHANNA’S WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY FOR DANG SURE.
“..FANBASE LIKE RIHANNA” BUT WASN’T HER RATED RETARDED ALBUM WAS $1.00 ON AMAZON BECAUSE IT WASNT SELLING!!!?
WHO WANTS A FANBASE LIKE THAT WHEN THE FANS DON’T EVEN BUY THE ALBUM. HAHAHAHA!
COME CORRECT HUNNIE!
RIHANNA IS NOTHING BUT A SINGLE ARTIST AND THATS NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT.
I love Kelis and I hope she does well on these new ventures. These two songs are hot though I’m pretty sure most narrow-minded black folks will disagree. If it ain’t an ass shaking or sexual song, they ain’t trying to hear it.
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[_www. A G E R O M A N C E com_]—a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends
“narrow-minded black folks” “If it ain’t an ass shaking or sexual song, they ain’t trying to hear it.”
^^^^Kelis’ little fans must be some of the dumbest mfers to grace the earth because Kelis must be one of the “narrow minded black folks” you are talking about because Kelis being the garbage entertainer that she is has “shaking” her a** in her one hit “MILKSHAKE” wonder video and she has displayed her sexual attributes on more than one occasion during performances, magazines and videos such as “Bossy!” Kelis is no different from the “narrow minded black folks” you claim will disagree with the two hot a** garbage singles posted on this page! In case Kelis and her fans have forgotten Kelis is a woman of color her damn self born and raised in the urban city of Harlem, NY so you can stop with all the “urban “and “black folks” gibberish!
I miss the old kelis with pharell this sounds awful kelis should be ashamed she is better then this u are not going to get over by dressing crazy I want hear the get along with you kelis point blank. And she also needs to take note of that song and let nas see his son.
I like the beginning of 22 Century. And I like 4th of July. They remind me of the house that was played when I lived overseas. Yeah, the twins in the background are very scary.
Looooooooove the new Kelis tracks.
@FRAN
KILL URSELF.
KELIS IS NOT A TYPICAL BLACK FEMALE ARTIST. JUST BECAUSE MILKSHAKE WAS MAINSTREAM DOESNT MEAN ITS TYPICAL. THE LYRICS WERE CLEVER, NOT CORNY AND THE SONG MATCHED THE VIDEO. JUST BECAUSE SHE PULLED OFF SEXY DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING. KELIS IS THAT CHICK AND A SMART CHICK AT THAT. SHE DOESNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT FAME EITHER. SHES HERE TO MAKE MUSIC, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SHE LOVE AND TOUR. U DUMB N!GGAS THINK EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A STAR, WHEN CLEARLY THATS NOT THE CASE.
I like 4th of july….. I think it can be a big hit in the world like when love takes over by kelly rowland
Since most people in America don’t appreciate her work, maybe she should release her music in Europe and see what happens. Her sound fits their whole steez better anyway. Folk over here want Gaga and Rihanna, and they don’t seem to have room for anything else, so she would be better off over there. Euro dollars are more valuable anyway. This is what I would tell her if I was her business manager.
hhhmmm… i like 4th of July… agree with #56..
@44 AMEN
Those songs will GLOW when summer comes! I can already picture clubbers on Ibiza beaches shaking on it and myself too
Accapella is not my favorite but it’s already No5 in UK.
22th century is a pure BOMB!!! Love the handclaps at the end of the song.
4th of july is a good song too !
The beginning of the song reminds me of ”finest dreams”.
Kelis stole anything!
She’s an explorer and really enjoys music making!
This new direction is a new experimentation and it sounds great
I would have liked to hear a song with Andre 3000 like Millionaire but oh well…
can’t wait til Flesh Tone Drops
Kelis will “take you high” this summer
Welcome back Girl !
