Song For the Baby: Inspiring, sweet and groovy track dedicated to son Knight. Brave is as the lyrics say “super strong!”

Will definitely tear up the dancefloors & spawn many remixes.Įmancipate: Empowering and anthemic dance track urging the listener to “emancipate yourself!” And that I will…BRB!īrave: Lyrically Kelis gets incredibly personal on this track which is backed by an incredible pounding beat. Scream: Amazing track, production-wise sounds like it’s already been remixed. Home: I’d describe this as a dark-pop dance track.Īcapella: Flesh Tone’s lead single, using music as a metaphor for a nondescript relationship. Kelis purrs “You draw me in, everytime I think I’m free you win” before fading into 22nd CenturyĢ2nd Century: Lyrically & thematically reminiscent of Kaleidescope in which Kelis was infatuated with the future/outerspace.Ĥth of July (Fireworks): Kelis shows off her unique vocal range in this track wh ile the beat makes it nearly impossible to not want to dance. Be sure to purchase your own copy upon it’s release! The album is out on May 17th Worldwide but unfortunately for Canada and the US we have to wait until July 6th. Flesh Tone is to Kelis as Ray of Light was to Madonna, an album of self-discovery and empowerment amidst an amazing yet chaotic dance party.Īlthough the album boasts only 9 tracks, there is absolutely no lag or weak moments on Flesh Tone, with tracks bleeding into the next to create a non-stop dance party. It’s no secret that Kelis has had her personal life aired out in the press over the past few years, but rather than explain herself she has presented us with an awesome new dance record. Hence today’s First Impression Review of the album. Of the songs performed, the tracks that stood out to me were 22nd Century and Brave but last night the album leaked.

Last month I had the opportunity to see Kelis test out material from Flesh Tone at New York’s Santos Party House.
