"Kelis performs "Jerk Ribs" on Letterman, & it's"


  

          

not so good. Is it just me or does her voice sound off? Maybe she's coming off another show & she just needs a few days rest, but I'm a little less excited for her concert in DC coming up.

Anybody listen to her knew album yet? I liked Jerk Ribs when it dropped but haven't really kept up with the other songs that came out.

for her SXSW show.

Kelis also got raves on allmusic.com for the new album

Streaming on NPR last week

The producer Dave Sitek is from TV on the radio - who still have some pull in today's music scene


that's more than a connected lawyer

She's signed to Ninja Tune a UK label.

"Kelis Is Here" came out in 2006
"Flesh Tone" came out in 2010.

The backing vocalists pulled her back into this performance during the chorus.

She needs to really thank them for that.

Whew.

what truly good singers actually sound like... we haven't seen any, consistently,
in a really long time.
It's as if the art of singing is being lost in alotta circles.

I agree for the most part but Jill Scott can sang. She's almost always
on point so it hasn't been that long since we heard a great singer.

But yeah, Kelis was never a great singer. I wouldn't even call her a good singer. She's just okay. That's like the only downside to her new album. Her voice ain't built to carry them type of tracks. Her voice worked with Chad & P because it wasn't traditional R&B.

16. "She was in another key at the beginning. It's because there isn't"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

any pitched instrument playing at the beginning except the bass, and it's much harder for a singer to pick up the correct key from just hearing the bass player without any keyboards/guitar as a pitch reference. She may have not had the bass up high enough in her in ear monitors as well.

Regardless, that's the type of think that should have easily been picked up in either rehearsal or soundcheck - often with something like that they will have another track going just to the singer's ears that has a keyboard part or something in it where she can pick up the correct key. Or at a minimum have the keyboard player play a chord as a reference before the audio goes live.

I've been listening to "Jerk Ribs" for about a year now & it
reminds me so much of Fela & Afrobeat. Kelis sounds & looks amazing.
