Kelis - Kelis Was Here album flac

Kelis Was Here is the fourth studio album by American singer Kelis. It was released August 22, 2006, by Jive Records. Originally titled The Puppeteer, the album features production by Bangladesh, Raphael Saadiq, Max Martin, Sean Garrett, and Scott Storch, among others, and also features collaborations with will. am, Nas, Cee-Lo, Too Short, and Spragga Benz. It is Kelis' first album not to feature longtime collaborators The Neptunes.

Her fourth, Kelis Was Here, again integrates enticing takes on ’70s soul with popping neo-electro cuts – the latter recalling mentors the Neptunes in their absence, a first for a Kelis album. am produces two songs, including What’s That Right There, which matches his obsession with female bodies (his own Black Eyed Peas’ My Humps ) with Kelis’ sly sass.

Ann Powers from the Los Angeles Times praised its eclectic music and said that it "mines a memory of R&B as the playground of individualists. Kelis Was Here debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with 58,000 copies sold in its first week, becoming Kelis' highest-peaking album on the chart to date

Kelis Was Here is a study in contradictions and a difficult nut to crack, an album whose appeals seem straightforward and yet are curiously hard to pin down. Having abandoned the Neptunes entirely in favour of a revolving cast of collaborators (Scott Storch, Will. Am, Shondrae, Raphael Saadiq), the r&b singer who proudly describes herself as the first girl to scream on a track rifles through a myriad of styles over the course of 70 minutes, haphazardly throwing everything at the wall, 1990s Prince album style

That milkshake song" ("Milkshake") brought Kelis to the mainstream for a couple months during 2003 and 2004. The singer's follow-up - Kelis Was Here, her fourth album - bears no retreads.

Album Kelis Was Here. There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star If it seems like I'm shining It's probably a reflection of something you already are I forget about myself sometime When there's so many other around When deep inside you feels darkest That is where I can always be found That is where. There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star I’ve been running and jumping But barely getting Getting over the bar I plan on being much more than I Am but that's in due time But until then I'm guilty And being humans my crime Just being human that is my crime. Being human that is my crime.
