It's safe to say that after her nasty divorce from Nas, Kelis kinda tore her drawers with, oh, everyone. In recent years she's become more known for drama than for her music. Now 10 years in the game, she's trying to claw her way back into everyone's good graces with some new music to remind us all why we fell for this quirky cool chick with the big pink-blonde hair in the first place. However, she misses the mark with "Acapella," the first single that hit the net today via her website from her as-yet-untitled fifth album dropping next spring. Whereas I love the lyrics and I'm all for people reinventing themselves, the music is not exactly my cup of chai. Produced by David Guetta, this is way too techno/industrial/girl-get-your-glowsticks for my tastes. Call me when someone does a soulful house remix, perhaps. For this to be Kelis' comeback record, she needed to come better than this.
