Are You Feeling It?: Acapella by Kelis
Ms. Bossy herself is back with her first single from her upcoming album. The song is entitled Acapella — and it is described as a “electro-club-banger”. We adore Kelis and we are happy to see her back.
Clutchettes and gents – are you feeling Acapella?

Loading ...Kelis’ Message To Her Fans
“Well, walking through the streets of NY this summer…I use the term walking loosely…I was extremely pregnant and probably doing more of a very slow creep down each humid sticky block…people had so much to say to me. You know us New Yorkers don’t ever keep anything to ourselves…I was asked if I would ever put another album out. I suppose people assumed after the baby and divorce and all the time I took off (went to culinary school during my break which was amazing and another conversation) that it would be on to motherhood for me. And well that’s true…as I lay here with my perfect little won ton now writing you all this message. My answer was always the same. “Soon come guys” ;) and so here we are. My album is pretty much done. I signed a new deal and I’m madly in love with life and ready to share something with you. My song is called “Acapella” and I wrote it with love and life in mind. I hope that it finds you well and that you love it, cause honestly I do! Muah!”
- Kelis
“P.S. to all the people who have stuck around and supported me all these years do know that I sincerely feel you and love you! We did this all together”

WOW! So unexpected!! She is finally back!!
Looooooove this!
Her voice is so fluid
can’t wait for the album
kelis is amazing.can`t wait for the alblum:)
Honey loves it!!!!
Song is okay. After seeing that photo, I would like to see the video to add some imagery to this. Its a nice transition from “I’m Bossy” and I’m glad she’s back!
Its a club song, which is something I can’t listen to on a daily basis. Its okay.
i like it because i can dig the dance songs with vocals, and its not heavy on my ears
@ Shani Anona ur comment just made me look at the image of Kelis again
and I just noticed the skulls for what I thought were just miscellaneous colors of gold.
I just think that image has an interesting vibration.
Just wanted to put that out there.
=)
Not mad at it. Never been a big club fan but I’ve always appreciated Kelis’ alternative sensibilities.
I wish this damn song was acapella.
