Kelis is prepping for her big comeback after being silent for 4 years. Last year the edgy 34-year-old announced her upcoming album called Food, which will be produced by Dave Sitek, and released on UK indie label Ninja Tunem.
Earlier this week the singer revealed a new promotional photos with a new soulful look to her fans with a caption, “I know I have been a little silent on here lately, but I am back and excited to share one of my favorite photos from my album photo shoot.” Kelis is known for her loud funky fashion; in the shoot she tones it down with big hair and an artsy short dress with bold color prints. Responses to her photo have been significantly positive with over 5,000 likes and 170 shares.
Although she hasn’t release any new material yet since last year’s “Jerk Ribs” and “Been Given a Morning,” but Kelis is expected to perform new songs from her upcoming album at two big music festivals this year. She’ll be appearing first at the BBC Radio 6 Music festival in February and at Europe’s The Great Escape festival in May.
Kelis new album Food is scheduled for release on April 28 of this year, a press release described it as “a soul record that’s as raw and alternative as it is classic.” Hopefully we she receive positive responses on her album as she did on her promotional photo.
