Kelis has long since been associated with food ever since she sang about her frothy beverage bring all the boys to the yard 10 years ago (yes, it charted in Dec 2003!!). Since then the R&B singer has retrained as a chef. Now back to music and her new album Food has a song for Breakfast, she sings about Friday Fish Fry and even serves up a Cobbler. With a track list like that it would have been foolish of me not to feature Kelis - Food on my blog. Food references aside, it's a great album and well worth a listen.
The Guardian manage to spoon in as many food related adjectives in their
review of the album but in my own words this is a saucy album, a brilliant record that grabbed me from the first listen with songs that feel familiar but fresh at the same time. The old school soulful and jazzy R&B vibes result in a timeless sound. Much less milkshake and more rich espresso.
