Kelis has shown how deviating from the
norm can get you pegged falsely -- in
her case, as an extraterrestrial being
the Neptunes had beamed down from
another planet. Maybe the
orange-hair-and-body-paint photo on the
cover of Kaleidoscope didn't help. And
it's safe to say that none of her
contemporaries would've ever thought of
screaming something like "I hate you so
much right now -- uuuugh!" for the chorus
of a debut single. Otherwise, Kelis is
as down-to-earth as they come; she just
doesn't fit the mold of what has been
expected in a female R&B artist the
past few years (or ever). From a
commercial standpoint, this has worked to
a disadvantage: Wanderland, her second
album, wasn't even released in the U.S.
by Virgin, even though it was every bit
as fresh and rainbow-dappled as her debut.
Just before slipping completely out of
view, the Neptunes set her up with Star
Trak and dusted off Wanderland's
"Popular Thug" -- with Pusha T wiped
off in favor of new verses from new
fianc Nas -- for their Clones
compilation. That set the table for
Tasty, which actually involves less
Chad and Pharrell, who produce only five
tracks this time around; Dame Grease,
Dallas Austin, Raphael Saadiq,
Rockwilder, and Andre 3000 pick up most
of the production duties.
