"Blindfold Me" Video Review

From the sexy songstress that brought us tunes such as booty-shaking Milkshake and angry Caught Out Here comes a new daring album, which shows off the singer’s vocal talents while combining them with various different styles. Kelis Was Here takes you on a mammoth 18-track roller-coaster, stopping the listener off at the dancehall stop, through to pumping base lines and occasionally setting you down on a rhythm & blues porch.

The album starts off with an Intro, in which Kelis gets back to her roots, showcasing her raspy gospel tones and making clear that the rest of the album will not be like the monotone, saccharine tones heard in many female singers’ R&B tracks. With the help of hubby Nas, she launches into her next song Blindfold Me and is joined by various rap veterans, including Smoke in Aww Sh**!.

The second half of Kelis’ roller-coaster ride takes us through mellower and more soulful tracks in which the diva’s sultry tones are at their best, with gospel-influenced Appreciate Me a marvellous showcase of her talent.

Her third album, Kelis Was Here, is the first not to have any songs produced by The Neptunes and sees the singer not choosing one different turn but deciding instead to meander through a host of different music styles, which highlight the fact that Ms Rogers is no bootylicious Beyonce or boring Ashante, but a greater talent, who is not afraid to be alternative and experiment.
