Finally, after announcing the release of her album last December and sharing ‘Rumble‘ (which just got remixed by Breach FYI) in February, we’re now able to stream Kelis’ entire ‘Food’ in full before its release on Ninja Tune April 22.

Entirely produced by Dave Sitek (founder of TV On The Radio and producer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars and Foals amongst others), her new album is a homecoming for Kelis: a soul record that’s as raw and alternative as it is classic. ‘Food’ is a startling combination of Kelis’ most frank and vulnerable vocals to date, and Sitek’s inimitable sonic imprint. Littered with transcendent, Spector-esque lift, warm bottom ends and vast depth, the music is the perfect backdrop for Kelis’ unique voice. The latter has only improved with time and experience, and the album candidly explores pain, happiness and everything in between.

The whole thing is streaming in full via NPR – head there now!
