Kelis Does Promo Shoot

Check out the new Hollywood promotional picture for Kelis forthcoming album "Fleshtones". The "I Hate You So Much Right Now" singer has received a glowing endorsement from Black Eyed Peas front-man Will.i.am, who also signed her to his Will.i.Am Music Group imprint over at Interscope.
Speaking to VIBE and he said had this to say:

“Kelis has always been a best kept secret. The cool people know Kelis. But the majority of people just know ‘Milkshake.’ If Kelis were fashion she would be a girl’s favorite pair of shoes or a coat…high fashion. I would like Kelis to show she’s an international sensation. She can be big. A lot of people think big is being on the radio or that being big is having a show in London, France and sometimes Japan. But that ain’t international…that’s just three countries. The Black Eyed Peas are big; the Black Eyed Peas are international. I think Kelis can be that big. As big as the Peas.

Her new single "Acapella" is not the business is not that bad of a song, and could grow on me easily, though I haven't heard it in the club yet. Which is a good and bad thing. The fact that I haven't heard it speaks volumes of it's popularity. However sometime a song that does nothing on the radio can translate in the club and take on a whole new life. And I'm sure if I heard it drunk in the club, I'd love it.

I'm feeling the weirdness of the picture, and let me tell you why. What Kelis did back in the day was weird, however now years later Rihanna seems to be doing the same thing and it seems edgy and high fashion. And now Kelis is gonna hopefully do it again. And working with Will can't hurt at all...


Just In Case You Haven't Herd The Single Either, Here It Is...
