The house/pop track "4th of July," produced by DJ Ammo, is an emotive electro-dance track and the follow-up to her first single, "Acapella," hit No.1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Highly recommended for your work-outs, your parties, or your summer soundtracks! There’s loads of wonderful, colorful imagery to be found here, including some steamy fire scenes, gorgeous desert shots, and killer laser light displays. It's just different, cool beats and Kelis' vocals are hot.
The 30-year-old Grammy-nominated singer wearing a gold-colored dress while strutting her way on the desert and features her performing in front of fireworks among other scenes. She looks stunning as she walks around in the desert in luxurious gowns in the clip. which was co-directed by the R&B singer herself, John "Rankin" Waddell and Nicole Ehrlich in the outside of Los Angeles. It is described as a "spectacular array of visual stimulation seeing Kelis play dynamically upon the four elements of the universe."
Yes, The R&B mama has never been one to hold her tongue, but this time she's really going off in the video for "4th of July (Fireworks)." The video depicts Kelis playing dynamically upon the four natural elements (Earth, wind, water and fire), and shows her and her unique fashion sense through a room filled with fiery flames. For an album often described by the singer as "carnal," the video certainly helps to add more fuel to the fire. By the way, Kelis will tour with Robyn on the "All Hearts" tour o promote the album starting July 23.

Kelis Out Of Fashion In Her New "Acapella" Video

R&B artist Kelis premiered a music video for the apparent lead single "Acapella" from her fifth studio album "Flesh Tone," Kelis' first album in nearly four years, will arrive overseas on May 17 and is slated to hit U.S. shores in June. The song is a departure from her past singles in that it is a dance/electronica track rather than hip hop, produced by David Guetta, about her son, Knight. The track, wrote it with love and life in singer's mind, which has topped on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart!
Kelis and David Guetta is an odd pairing. With the rising profile of club producer David Guetta, Harlem-bred vocalist Kelis jumped on board, yet has managed to record a track that sounds both timely and reasonably novel. "Acapella" is a smooth, Donna Summer-style track with Kelis as an icy electro queen, a robotic embrace of house's metronomic bliss. Kelis' chameleonic adaptation to the times exemplifies her artistic flexibility, that she knows how to adjust to a changing pop world without losing her ability to stand out, to make her competition seem banal. "Acapella" displays Kelis' seemingly preternatural understanding of pop history, the dynamics at play in today's pop music, and ironically, a sense of personality in frozen performance.
The single has received a positive reception. Pitchfork Media gave the song a positive review, saying: "'Acapella' is a smooth, Donna Summer-style track with Kelis as an icy electro queen, a robotic embrace of house's metronomic bliss." About.com's "Dance Music" section reviewed the track favorably, calling the song "majestic" and named it its "Song of the Day". Entertainment Weekly called the song a "feathery dance-floor delight" and placed the song on its "The MustList" for 2010 whilst Billboard magazine added the song to its 2010's "Best Bits" listing.
Grammy-nominated singer Kelis is known for setting trends, but the fashionista won't be flaunting any avant-garde threads in her new music video. The singer shot the video for her David Guetta-produced single "Acapella" in the first week of March, with a British production team consisting of portrait and fashion photographer John "Rankin" Waddell and musical director Chris Cottam. Kelis wanted to go in a different direction after seeing an abundance of fashion in today's music videos. "I think everything is over-fashioned up that it just becomes uninteresting, and when every artist has access to every designer and vice versa, it's no longer exciting or fun."
