New Single – Kelis Acapella
Kelis is back after a completely forgettable "greatest hits" era, and she's lighting up the charts in the UK with her amazing new David Guetta produced track "Acapella". This song is fantastic, not only does it have a unique and catchy beat, the vocals flow perfectly, and the lyrics are just magnificent.
The song revolves around Kelis' perception of her own life now that she is a mother. She sings that her world is now full of colour and new found light, and that her perspective on life feels a new clarity. "Acapella" has at this point in time, reached the top 5 in the UK despite a notably long absence from the music industry iin the past few years. It has graced the top 30 in Europe, and become a dance hit in the US. However it seems that only the UK has really embraced, and truly 'gotten' what Kelis is all about.
It's great to see a new mother actually coming up with a song about their experience of parenthood without trodding all over soggy, overused cliche's. Check out the music video below, leave a comment, tell us what you think of the song/video?
Rest assured that Acapella isn't a lone soldier, it has been assured from critics and fans alike that her upcoming album "Flesh Tones" will be packed full of dance hits, and we're not talking "crossover pop-dance" we're talking, actual, pure dance music at it's finest. Stay tuned in the next few days for a post with some leaked tracks from the album! This is definetly one to look out for!
The album, "Flesh Tones" will be in stores worldwide on the 17th of May, and is currently available for pre-order.
