Harlem-born singer Kelis first appeared on the musical radar with her 1999 anthem of anger "Caught Out There." Though Kelis' road to stardom has been paved with bumps and record label drama, her new album shows her anger has subsided and her goal now is to make provocative funk music. Tasty is filled with sultry, grinding R joints and gritty hip-hop beats and features innovators like Andre 3000 of OutKast, Raphael Saadiq, her partner-in-crime Nas and white hot production team The Neptunes. The ubiquitous track "Milkshake" features a stripped down sound and her humorous take on life as a girl in the modern world while the new single "Trick Me" is a take-no-prisoners reggae flavored track that is Kelis at her best ? edgy, playful and full of fire. Every track on Tasty is ready to be blasted from cruising cars and club systems. All hail Kelis, the new queen of the party jam.
