SOMETHING OLD
Kelis s artistry goes so much deeper.
Flesh Tone, from 2010, is one of the most rewarding full-lengths from American pop s early Obama Era Euro-club fixation (David Guetta, Boyz Noise, Benassi Bros, and Will.i.am produce). Less hedonistic than the genre s norm, these songs carry themselves with grace and dignity and tackle themes as personal as the birth of her first child over some of the steeliest robo-music money can buy.
