After a long hold over, Kelis has announced the release of her next studio album, currently titled FOOD. Due this September (2013), the forthcoming opus will follow 2010's Flesh Tone and will be led by the Dave Sitek-produced first offering, "Jerk Ribs." On the groovy tune, Nas' ex-wife is in a good place that "feels right."
Last year, Kelis' management announced that she was in the studio with producers Skream, BURNS, Tom Neville, Dan Black and Caspa.

Kelis has been a staple in the music industry since her 1999 debut album, Kaleidoscope. Now, with anticipation building for months, she is finally ready to unveil her newest project: a brand new album set to be released in September of this year. Fans around the world are thrilled at the prospect of hearing fresh material from one of R&B’s most treasured stars. This article will explore what we know so far about Kelis’ upcoming release and why it promises to be an exciting event for those who have followed her career from its humble beginnings.
Since exploding onto the scene two decades ago, Kelis has gone on to become one of pop culture’s most beloved artists. She brought something unique and unforgettable to listeners everywhere, fusing together elements of soulful R&B with innovative hip-hop production. Her acclaimed fifth studio album Food was released back in 2014 and earned her Grammy nominations along with numerous other awards. And now after five long years without any new releases (save for a few singles here and there) fans can rest assured that they’ll soon get their hands on some fresh Kelis material!
The announcement came as somewhat of a surprise but nevertheless left many excited – especially considering that the singer recently dropped hints via social media which alluded to having completed work on a secret project. It appears that time spent honing her craft over these past few years has paid off; all signs point towards this being another classic Kelis record full of energy and emotion like only she can deliver it.
Overview Of Artist’s Career
She’s been in the music industry since 1998, and Kelis has seen her fair share of success. From her Grammy-nominated hit “Milkshake” to her more recent collaboration with Skrillex on “Holla Holla,” she’s showcased a wide range of talents throughout her career. Now, after months of anticipation, Kelis is set to release her ninth studio album this September.
Kelis’ journey started when she was signed to Virgin Records at just 17 years old. At that time, she had already written and recorded songs for many popular artists such as Total and Nas. After securing a deal with Virgin Records, Kelis released her debut album Kaleidoscope in 1999 – an R&B/pop record that featured singles like “Caught Out There” and “Good Stuff.” The album earned positive reviews from critics upon its release and peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Since then, Kelis has gone on to have six more successful albums under different labels including Star Trak Entertainment (owned by Pharrell Williams) and Ninja Tune. Her last studio album Food was released in 2014 via Ninja Tune; it received critical acclaim for its blend of soulful pop-fuelled sounds infused with jazz elements. Now, five years later, fans are eagerly awaiting what else the artist has up her sleeve with this upcoming project.
Details Of Upcoming Album
With the anticipation growing, Kelis has finally revealed details about her upcoming album. Set to be released on September 28th this year, it is set to feature an eclectic mix of sounds and styles. Drawing from a variety of genres including pop, hip-hop, R&B, soul and jazz – Kelis looks to create something that’s unique yet familiar at the same time.
The album will also include collaborations with some of music’s biggest names such as Skrillex and Diplo who have previously worked with artists like Drake and Justin Bieber. This gives fans an indication of what they can expect from the project: high quality production combined with Kelis’ signature voice. With a talented team behind it, there’s no doubt that this record will be one for the books.
In addition to its musicality, the new album promises to take listeners on an emotional journey through its lyrics and themes. From love songs to inspirational messages of hope – each song offers something different but still manages to fit into the overall soundscape that Kelis has created. Fans are sure to be impressed by this latest offering; all signs point towards another successful release in 2019 for artist Kelis Rogers!
