Official Video: Kelis - Brave

Brave is the fourth single off Kelis' latest studio album Flesh Tone.

This video reminds me of Alanis' Head Over Feet.

On the video, Kelis bleached her hair, donned a much fairer skin against a white backdrop making her look like a white woman. Although I cannot decipher the message of the video, I think she still rocked the video! Brave is one of the three songs I love about Flesh Tone. In my opinion though, she could have made a much heavier impact video - the kind like Scream or 4th of July (Fireworks) have.

Here's the MV:

Official Video: Kelis - Scream

Kelis releases a video for her third single Scream. I have always thought that Kelis has a very strong artistic mind that even during this post-GaGa era, she still manage to stand out.

The song was in collaboration with David Guetta; and we all know what that means -- it's a treat for all dance/electronica lovers. With Guetta's signature sounds and Kelis' husky meets soothing voice, this is one great track off her album.

The music video has a 3-D version which can be found over on her website. One of the coolest videos I have ever watched and the outfits are fabulous!

Enjoy it!

Official Video: Kelis - 4th of July (Fireworks)

Kelis' second single 4th of July (Fireworks) video deserves fireworks for its beauty and fierceness. In the video, Kelis muses for each of the 4 elements (Earth, Water, Win and Fire)

I am so loving the styling, the make-up, the wardrobe! Her ensemble all have one common theme - Flesh Tone. The fierce outfits are the ones she was wearing at the desert (earth) and in the a pool (water). I also like the red laser lights background and her Beats headphones! 

Let me know your thoughts.

Album Review: Kelis - Flesh Tone

It didn't come as a surprise to me that Kelis is now on the bandwagon of R&B artists crossing-over to the Electro-Dance genre along with Kelly Rowland, Flo-rida, etc. Thanks to the influence of world's renowned Dance/Electro-pop DJs David Guetta and Benny Bennassi. 

Flesh Tone is Kelis' 5th studio album and the 1st having an synthpop electro dance genre. This 9-track album is pure electro goodness mastered by Guetta, Bennassi and John Baptiste.

Each track is a clear representation of the producer. You can easily recognise a Guetta track from a Bennassi track. Kelis' voice fits this genre so perfectly that it compliments the bashing electro-synths with her deep, cool voice. 

This album has produced 1 Billboard and UK Dance Chart #1 - Acapella - which is the song dedicated by Kelis to her new-born son. The first single also garnered multiple critical acclamations. The second single 4th of July (Fireworks) is also slowly climbing up the global dance charts in both US and EU markets. 

Personally, my favorite tracks in the album are 4th of July (Fireworks) and Brave. Both tracks are rich in electro-synths intertwined in Kelis' cold, soothing voice.
