Stop what you’re doing! Kelis just leaked her new, David Guetta produced, electro-club-banger “Acapella” on Twitter (@IAmKelis). The singer is back with a new sound, a new look, and even a new label (more on that later…) Check out the song and a personal message to her fans below.
“Acapella” (Produced by David Guetta)
Kelis’ Message To Her Fans
“Well, walking through the streets of NY this summer…I use the term walking loosely…I was extremely pregnant and probably doing more of a very slow creep down each humid sticky block…people had so much to say to me. You know us New Yorkers don’t ever keep anything to ourselves…I was asked if I would ever put another album out. I suppose people assumed after the baby and divorce and all the time I took off (went to culinary school during my break which was amazing and another conversation) that it would be on to motherhood for me. And well that’s true…as I lay here with my perfect little won ton now writing you all this message. My answer was always the same. “Soon come guys” ;) and so here we are. My album is pretty much done. I signed a new deal and I’m madly in love with life and ready to share something with you. My song is called “Acapella” and I wrote it with love and life in mind. I hope that it finds you well and that you love it, cause honestly I do! Muah!”
-Kelis
“P.S. to all the people who have stuck around and supported me all these years do know that I sincerely feel you and love you! We did this all together”
I heart Kelis. Love the makeup, like the song, hate the hair.
The song is awesome and will definitely be a hit outside of the United States where Kelis is actually very much adored.
Pop radio may pick it up here but R n’ B won’t.
It is a killer song however- I had it on repeat and it just gets better with each listen.
I also think it is about her child- though some may think it is an ode to a lover or someone.
You also said Video Phone with Gaga would be a top 10 hit and I have to hear it on pop radio, and it hasn’t even made it into the top 50 at R&B.
@miss june.
that’s b/c the video phone remix hasn’t been sent to radio. they only released to itunes today! i doubt they’re sending for adds at radio!
@ MISS JUNE
I also said the Commodores would get back together… who knew – lol.
LOVE Kelis.
And I actually love this song. I miss her husky haunting voice. LOVE HER.
“I also said the Commodores would get back together… who knew – lol”
I loved when Darius said that in Love Jones!
Anyways, I’m a big Kelis fan so, I’ma always support. “Acapella” I likes lots!! Yay Kelis!!!
Don’t really care for the song, was this really a stop what your doing moment?
I love Kelis! I love the song! Please get a new hairstylist because the one you have have some serious issues…I think he/she is stuck in the 80′s…LOL
LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!! I will be supporting!
Honestly I am not Kelis’ intended audience, I’m a real R&B fan (TOni Braxton/Mariah Carey/Melonie Fiona/Lil Mo/Jazziman Sullivan type true Rthymn and blues) however, I will say that for her fans I believe she put out a song that they will love and I’m happy for her. I know she’s been through a lot, and I’m very happy for her that she is continuing to make music, but most importantly that she actually took time off to go to school for something she was passionate about (cooking! I still am learning myself…in my momma’s kitchen lol) But anyway, I really appreciate how authentic she is. She seems to have a really personal approach with her fans. And even though her music really isn’t my taste, her personality is DEFINITELY something I am a fan of :-) Aunthenticity in the entertainment industry is a dying breed….I wish her much success in all her endeavors.
song sucks and Kelis can’t sing. period.
oh yeah and her son is so adorable!
Good for her, Kelis got it…
