And weвЂ™re going to start to grow everything.вЂќ So I felt like, you know what, letвЂ™s do a farm. I decided yeah, well how do I do that in staying with who I am and in the realm of control that I like to have. вЂњI need a space where I can actually be creative and I can do this on a daily basis.

вЂњIn this past year IвЂ™ve kinda felt like I need a restaurant,вЂќ she started. The вЂњBossyвЂќ singer and chef, 38, announced in the latest podcast for вЂњThe Founder HourвЂќ that sheвЂ™s purchased a farm to push her brand forward. вЂњI know I donвЂ™t look it but I can cook,вЂќ she croons, and based on this 13-course banquet of authentic, rustic food/music, she really can.KelisвЂ™ slow take over of the food world just got a big boost. Despite the fact that the little hints of 1950s soundtrack-like horns offer the most pastiche parts, this contrast to the Kelis we have become accustomed to is a brave yet believable effort.

While the rest of the food labelled tracks range from the rhythmic (вЂњCobblerвЂќ) to a Country-influenced to-and-fro between male and female lines (вЂњI need ice cold water,вЂќ вЂњShe needs ice cold water,вЂќ during вЂњFriday Fish FryвЂќ) and an idea of how a still-simple second draft of Neneh CherryвЂ™s Blank Project may have sounded (вЂњBiscuits nвЂ™ GravyвЂќ), вЂњFloydвЂќ may be the highlight. вЂњChangeвЂќ begins with an even stalker, yet instantly dramatic beat, which soon bubbles over with dramatic Spanish-influenced interludes and a powerful chorus of вЂњYou canвЂ™t escape the grips of desire.вЂќ ItвЂ™s KelisвЂ™ most theatrical performance since her guest role as the leopard on Duran DuranвЂ™s вЂњThe Man Who Stole A LeopardвЂќ (2010) and is a delicious blend of brass and grit. вЂњRunninвЂ™вЂќ (written about how Kelis вЂњbecame a runner to escape the fameвЂќ) highlight how hers is the sort of voice that can be at its most believable during those honest, pain-fuelled moments when it cracks and breaks. But perhaps the chef puts it best herself, with a chorus of вЂњThis is the real thing with words.вЂќ Follow-up (and second single) вЂњJerk RibsвЂќ is equally successful with the sound, layering the now familiar elements over a gentle, hip-hop-like, jerking (for use of a better word) loop, with a soaring chorus about how it вЂњfeels just like it should.вЂќ Lyrically, itвЂ™s a million miles away from the вЂњI hate you so much right now!вЂќ artist we were first introduced to, but this new collection offers upbeat moments that will segue perfectly during live sets between вЂњTrick MeвЂќ and вЂњAcapellaвЂќ.Д®ven when tracks are slowed down, momentum is kept up through classic, subtle funk elements and hints of gospel-music playing behind. вЂњHey guys! Are you hungry? My Mom made foodвЂќ KelisвЂ™ son Knight announces, introducing listeners to the home-cooked collection via recipes passed down through the ages, and given a modern twist. Simple beats introduce KelisвЂ™ trademark vocals, giving them a bigger share of the stage than they might be used to, after more often being used to hiding behind big beats and deep bass.

Kicking off with вЂњBreakfastвЂќ (not only the most important meal of the day but, arguably, the most important track on an LP) the musical theme is clear.

Reportedly written with influences from the records her parents played while growing up, the album (produced by TV On The RadioвЂ™s Dave Sitek) successfully gives another dynamic to an already diverse portfolio, without ever sounding like a tribute or nostalgic, novelty record. So she literally can teach you her вЂњdamn right, better than yoursвЂќ recipes, but true to her word, she will have to charge.ДЄs for Food, the album on the whole itвЂ™s a soul record, built around blasts of brass and soundtrack-like orchestral moments, and appears to be Kelis at her most honest, her most homely and her most reflective. Following the release of Tasty, Kelis graduated as a saucier, hosted her own cookery show ( Saucy & Sweet on The Cookery Channel), previewed a sauce line called вЂњFeastвЂќ вЂ“ as well as a clothing line called вЂњCakeвЂќ вЂ“ and has been working on a recipe book for some time. Music and food have gone hand-in-hand for Kelis вЂ“ not only with the release of вЂњMilkshakeвЂќ (over a decade ago) вЂ“ but through various other projects.

вЂњIf music be the food of love,вЂќ as Duke Orsino delivers during ShakespeareвЂ™s Twelfth Night, вЂњplay on.вЂќ Or, to look at the relationship from a slightly more modern angle: вЂњJust get the perfect blend, plus what you have withinвЂќ (Kelis, вЂњMilkshakeвЂќ).
