I was randomly reading Pharrell’s blog today and peeped his post about Kelis’ video “Get Along With You”. He said: Kelis might have been a little early in her career to pull this off but she should still get credit, it was a great video! So true, and I should mention that was my jam back in the day.

KELIS – THE HITS will feature a 14-song overview of her career. Pick up a copy on March 11th via Star Trak/Jive/Legacy.

For the most part on the show, so far, the girls have been in Diddy’s good graces. Their recording process is going well and it seems as though Dollhouse is set for a March 18th release! That’s right around the corner.
