Kelis has been M.I.A this year and with super dancentric album ‘Flesh Tone’ tanking horribly and sinking further without trace, she’s had time to reflect and brainstorm where she wants to go for the next album. The eclectic diva reveals to AllSaints Basement Sessions that she’ll be (independently) dropping her new album in the first quarter of the new year.

Not much is said about producers and the overall direction but in my opinion, she needs to go back to releasing kick-ass tunes like ‘Milkshake’ and ‘Bossy’. Kelis is also featured in Hunger magazine’s latest issue in new shots by Rankin, which you can check out below.
