| | Kelis Was Here CD Kelis Discography of CDs
Kelis's distinctively sassy singing is the glue that holds it all together. The album's lead-off single, "Bossy," featuring veteran rapper Too $hort, provides plenty of chant-along, head-bouncing groove, as does "What's That Right There," which employs a classic P-funk sample. "Trilogy" shows off Kelis's skill with ballads, which is sadly underrepresented on KELIS WAS HERE, one of the album's few drawbacks. Nonetheless, the album holds up, delivering a potent dose of attitude-heavy, hip-hop-flavored, female-fronted urban soul and funk.
On the basis of her association with production superstars the Neptunes and her 2003 smash single "Milkshake," Kelis became one of contemporary R&B's hotter commodities, so the artist's third album, 2006's KELIS WAS HERE, was met with great anticipation. Fans certainly weren't left wanting for length or variety: there are 17 tracks (plus a Neptunes-produced bonus track) and a host of producers (including Scott Storch, Will.i.am, and Raphael Saadiq) lending their craft.
Spin (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]er most streamlined effort yet....[With] sleek slow jams..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "On the will.i.am-produced 'Till The Wheels Fall Off,' a slinky homage to early-'70s funk, Kelis sounds huskily terrific..." -- Grade: B
Q (p.143) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Kelis is blessed with a unique voice.....KELIS WAS HERE is chock-full of surreal soul diamonds."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.101) - 3 stars out of -- "There's plenty of quality material here, such as the vulnerable 'Appreciate Me', the cute 'Bossy' and unrepentant 'I'm A Handful'..."

Hailing from the heart of Manila, Philippines, the Philippine Violators have been cranking out great punk rock since 1984. Considered one of the "godfathers" of the original 1980's Philippines punk scene, they are one of the few bands from that bygone era who remain. As many US punk bands emerged from the disgruntled (yet oftentimes ...

$16.39
2 Awards & 2 Award NominationsEnter the Mysterious Land of Ancient Egypt.. Travel back in time to the days of the Pharaohs. Gale pulls no stops with this Fantastic Album.. She uses Water Canon Drums mixed with some of the most soothing flute playing and ancient Melodies you have ever heard.. One minute your hearing the Ancient Flutes and the next, your heart pounds to the massive drums and 180 piece orchestra that comes right out from the middle of the Sahara Desert. Totally Mesmerizing and Intoxictaing! This album has been used for meditating and body relaxation.It would seem that Ancient Egypt lives not only on cable TV (Discovery, TLC, History channel) but also in the world of music. Gale wrote and composed 3 of the most fantastic albums you will ever hear in regards to Egypt.This 3 album CD series is also playing as background music in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, Egypt.Maybe it is time for you New Age Music and Ancient Egyptian Lovers to take a good look at this fantastic piece of work.There is music and sounds that you have never heard on the albums that are masterfully blended in with the Traditional melodies. The music is Modern/contemporary with traditional melodies that span over 5,000 years.------Gale, I combed through a LOT of albums at CD Baby and bought about a dozen -- yours was a "solid to buy" even as I dithered about many others. Great blends, textures, and very clean, firm flow ofsound... I'm listening to it right now... You even have nuances in the phrasings -- that's rare withsynthesized music. Awesome! Looking forward to hearing this (Best of Gale, vol. 1) many times! (I really enjoy certain flavors of NewAge. Not the jazz wannabe sound, but do I love the "crystals & meditation" aural support.) I'll be back to CD Baby to find more of your stuff...recommending to friends... Blessings,- Felicia in Wash DC (celtic musician)The Homespun Ceilidh Band"I Love Yanni and Enigma as well as Enya, but Your Music Gale.. There is No Comparison. They can't do it like you do.. I am wearing out these Albums - Michael, ...
