We all kind of knew that Kelis was rather away with the fairies. However, the Milkshake chanteuse opens her new set by welcoming her audience to the 22nd century.
Apart from being 90 years ahead of everyone else, musically the hue of Fleshtone is only futuristic in that it relies upon 70s disco, and especially that from Giorgio Moroder’s Munich Music Machine as inspiration. This is not a bad thing. Far from it.
The nine song set borrows and steals from DeeDee Jackson’s Automatic Lover, Space’s Magic Fly and copiously from I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trouper.
This great retro-European sounding set is a huge departure from her horrors of yesteryear.
