Kelis
releases her new single 'Lil Star' on February 19th. The track was produced by Cee-Lo (Gnarls
Barkley) and also features him on guest vocals.
Kelis's fourth album, 'Kelis Was Here', is a
passionate window into her moods, tastes and emotions. Part of it encompasses dealing with life’s
darker moments. Her new single, the
soulful and pensive 'Lil Star', features Kelis singing about the time when she
has self-doubt, giving fans a look at her vulnerable side. “I can’t be confident and bold and obnoxious
all the time,” Kelis says. “What kind of
person would I be? I’m a human being and
I have other sides, too. I’m not always
secure and I’m not always confident. I
have moments where I get self-conscious.”
Many
artists strive to be innovative. Kelis
does it naturally. Whether it was giving
early production from the Neptunes extra bite with her sassy vocals, screaming
on a scorned lover on her breakthrough “Caught Out There” single, teasing
potential suitors on the sly “Milkshake” or causing heads to turn with her
forward-thinking fashion sense, Kelis has always been in her own league, a
singer and entertainer that others look to for inspiration.
