Kelis Was Here
“The r&b singer returns with her fourth album and first without regular collaborators the Neptunes, teaming instead with a revolving cast that includes Scott Storch, Will.I.Am, Shondrae, and Raphael Saadiq.”

“Focusing more than ever on dance music with an album the flows like a DJ set, the left-field R&B diva has made her most consistent record in years.”
Tasty
“When you've been the house chanteuse for The Neptunes for the past five years, you'd expect to have enjoyed a more fruitful career than one lived by poor Kelis. The charismatic vocalist is (was?) the perfect voice for Star Trak's sci-fi disco, and should rightfully be a household name by now.

“Art-pop pioneer Kelis has never been more soulful or more intimate than she is on her sixth album. The singer steps out of the EDM rocket she rode on her last LP, 2010's Flesh Tone, in favor of more earthly pleasures – equating food with sex in a way that would make George Costanza drool. Kelis pines for "that tall drink of water" over a Link Wray rumble and hopes you can make it to "Breakfast" on”
Flesh Tone
“Kelis doesn’t shake much milk on her first record in four years. Instead, she brings it to a slow boil. Flesh Tone is a foray into the percolating house, moody electro and hard trance grooves that pump up airplane-hangar-size Euro clubs. She’s always had an impressionistic vision of R&B, but this isn’t just a curveball […]”
