What is the sound of the next decade? Kelis knows!

Kelis is one of those popstars, isn’t she?  She drifts between obscurity and genre-defining anthems like “Milkshake”.  In going through my top albums of the past 10 years, I’ve been listening to a bit of Kelis recently, wondering where she’s been for the past few years, so it was no wonder she would reappear out of the blue with something jaw-dropping.

That’s the thing with Kelis – those big songs, they always sound so… new.  So as we enter a new era, I’d like to know what she thinks it’s going to sound like.  Perhaps it’ll be a distortion heavy disco number, like her new song “Acapella“.  This is seriously fantastic – it’s part Kylie’s Fever album, part Klaxons nu-rave and part Donna Summer.

I know, right?  Oh and shout out to her new gold sparkly logo.  Delish.
