Cool as Milkshake - Music - www.theage.com.au This is the world of Kelis Rogers, a world where musical genres collide, where simple words such as "milkshake" take on gloriously obscene meanings, and where having the world's purveyors of fashion and music follow your lead is apparently unintentional. It's when Kelis talks about her fiance, her knitting or girlfriends ("We go shopping or go to clubs") that it becomes apparent that she's just a typical 24-year-old obsessed with music and clothes who thinks she's a little bit more fashionable than everyone else. In a move that was a massive setback for Rogers, Virgin America asked her to re-record the album. www.theage.com.au /articles/2004/07/08/1089000284526.html?oneclick=true   (947 words)

Print Article: Shaken, not stirred Kelis (pronounced Kuh-leese) carries on as though someone she's not interested in is trying to pick her up. It's when Kelis talks about her fiance, her knitting dexterity or what she does with her girlfriends - "we go shopping or go to clubs"- that it becomes apparent it's not her pop-star status that imbues her with her attitude. Kelis can't stay away from music, even outside her own recordings and tours. www.smh.com.au /cgi-bin/common/popupPrintArticle.pl?path=/articles/2004/07/15/1089694475568.html   (712 words)

Rock On The Net: Kelis Kelis (Rogers) hails from New York City and was born August 21, 1980. Kelis, born to a Puerto Rican and Chinese mother and African-American father, began her singing aspirations as a child with the Girl's Choir of Harlem. Kelis persisted, with graduating high school and continuing to focus on a music career, and was soon introduced to The Neptunes which eventually led to a record deal with Virgin Records in 1998. www.rockonthenet.com /artists-k/kelis.htm   (387 words)

The Scotsman - S2 Friday - A matter of taste Kelis Rogers is an R&B misfit, always slightly out of step with her soul sisters. Kelis was their protégé from her late teens and, when she first made herself known via the shrill woman-scorned rant, Caught Out There, it was difficult to miss her apartment-trashing presence, staring out at you from beneath a dayglo shock of hair and from behind a pair of colourful sunglasses. Without that transatlantic presence, Kelis found herself neglected in favour of the Alicias and Christinas of the pop world who are able to present diversity within safe, commercial parameters. thescotsman.scotsman.com /s2.cfm?id=1359052003   (593 words)

Telegraph Arts Tonic for the charts Kelis has never been easy to pigeonhole and, like her regular producers the Neptunes (aka NERD), prefers to dart between musical styles, with her albums ricocheting between everything from smooth soul to jagged rock. Kelis, on the however, dignifies the occasion with a six-song set featuring her full backing band. It is a surprise, then, to be informed on our arrival at her hotel suite that Kelis (it rhymes with "police") is in the middle of a knitting lesson. www.telegraph.co.uk /arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2004/05/13/bmkel13.xml   (948 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Tasty [Edited] - Kelis at Epinions.com Kelis Rogers might be better known as the beautiful girlfriend of Hip-Hop’s biggest hypocrite Nas (can never resist a good jab at good old Nasir Jones), but her talents are strong enough that it’s a bit surprising that she hasn’t experienced more success than she has. Kelis has a down to earth, round the way girl aura about her and that’s partially one of the reasons that I’ve always been drawn to her music. On her 1999 debut, the oft-overlooked “Kaleidoscope”, Kelis was aligned with the musical powers of The Neptunes, which was perhaps one of their first breaks as producers before they took over the entire music world and called it their own. www.epinions.com /content_121902501508   (829 words)

Independent Online Edition > Interviews Kelis admits she felt "scared to death" suddenly to find herself label-less and yesterday's pop news. Tasty is an album that smiles with quiet vindication - vindication that tasted all the more sweet when, having heard the record, The Neptunes signed Kelis to their Arista-backed Star Trak label. With The Neptunes too busy conquering the pop globe to take sole production reins again (they worked on only a handful of the new tracks) Kelis was, for the first time in her career, forced to take control of her album's sound. enjoyment.independent.co.uk /music/interviews/article59233.ece   (1841 words)

Kelis - Kelis Rogers - Kelis Rogers Hip Hop Kelis is hell on wheels, throwing the Sex Pistols and Tina Turner into a blender for a look and sound that pushes the boundaries of hip-hop, giving it a shot of fresh energy it hasn't had since Lauryn Hill. When Kelis' latest, Wanderland, was released in the UK, she was hand-picked by Bono to open for U2. The daughter of a jazz saxophonist and a member of the Harlem Girls Choir, Kelis, 22, has grown up to be one part R&B singer and three parts diva-in-training. www.playboy.com /arts-entertainment/wov/kelis   (252 words)

WANDERLAND // A KELIS FANSITE SINCE 0CT 01//A NIQICAKE CREATION Kelis Rogers is no overnight star, the young Harlem woman has been involved in music all her life. Kelis remembers: "As an artist you learn how to make the business, but all you really want is respect for your work. Her father was a jazz musician and she has played violin for fourteen years, saxophone for four and sang a variety of music including opera with the Girls Choir of Harlem for seven years......... www.geocities.com /niqij/bio.html   (1246 words)

Kelis - Tasty Kelis Rogers must have been saying a lot of prayers because reading the credits to Tasty is like reading a who's who of R&B and hip hop. Still, two weak songs on an album of 14 is a good effort but, with a voice like the one Kelis possesses, coupled with her fantastic team of writers and producers, Tasty couldn't fail to be a strong album. Aged just 19, Kelis sprung onto the scene in 1999 like a full speed tornado with the manic anthem Caught Out There in which she shouted, "I hate you so much right now!" with enough bad-ass attitude to make 50 Cent look like Ronan Keating. www.musicomh.com /albums/kelis.htm   (613 words)

breath of life » KELIS / “Young, Fresh N’ New” And in Kelis’ case, brought up middle class, in Harlem, the youngest of three daughters born to a former jazz musician turned Pentacostal minister and a bi-racial (Chinese and Puerto Rican) fashion designer of children’s clothing, the etiology of her demons/desires is most certainly not the result of material deprivation. As a child, Kelis sang in her church choir as well as the Girl’s Choir of Harlem, and played violin, piano and saxophone while attending a prestigious private school on Manhattan& stodgy Upper East Side. One day I hope to hear a classic record from Kelis, a record that tells us at the deepest level where Kelis is coming from, where she’s at, and, sincerely, where she hopes to go. www.kalamu.com /bol/2005/07/03/kelis-young-fresh-n-new   (1786 words)

Guardian Kelis Rogers finishes her speech, thanks the audience and launches into a demented cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, anomalous to the last.

Her just deserts Until last year, 24-year-old Kelis Rogers was hailed as one of the leading voices in the neo-soul or natural RandB movement pretty much everywhere in the world -- except for her native country. Thanks to "Milkshake," Kelis has finally arrived on the U.S. pop charts, and at long last she's getting a measure of the attention she deserves. The frizzy-haired singer is touring as the opening act for Britney Spears, including a show that stops at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont tonight. www.jimdero.com /News2004/Mar19Kelis.htm   (903 words)

New York Daily News - Entertainment - Jim Farber: Kelis cracks it Four years ago, Kelis Rogers looked like she had the goods to give contemporary R&B just the shakeup it needs. In the meantime, Kelis wangled her way off the label and onto the new imprint, Star Trak, run by her old benefactors, the Neptunes. Kelis' next album, "Wanderland," wasn't even released in this country, due to a messy corporate shuffle at her record company, Virgin. www.nydailynews.com /entertainment/story/147606p-130308c.html   (694 words)

Kelis News R&B beauty Kelis was forced to exit the stage at this past weekend's V Festival in England - after nearly 5,000 fans tried to enter the full-to-capacity tent she was playing in.

Amazon.ca: Tasty [Explicit Lyrics]: Music Kelis shows her rap style again, this time it's even better, for real, her rap is off da hook in here. Kelis has shown how deviating from the norm can get you pegged falsely -- in her case, as an extraterrestrial being the Neptunes had beamed down from another planet. The lyrics are amazing, and Kelis' delivery makes it so that she is the only person who sounds right singin' it. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AKOMI   (1885 words)

Usher Concert @ Wembley Arena Only two songs in, and Kelis was already telling us about her personal pursuits, telling the crowd, “I don’t know about here in London, but in Harlem, we like to get naughty in public. A few cuts later and Kelis, accompanied by a full live band, appeared onstage to hundreds of cheers and screams from her dedicated fans. An hour and a half later, word had it that Kelis had just entered the building and sure enough, her DJ came out to spin some beats for the now restless audience. www.thesituation.co.uk /concerts/kelis/kelis04_concert.html   (648 words)

Kelis A Harlem-born blend of African-American and Puerto Rican/Chinese genetic material (and named through a corresponding blend of her parents' names, Kenneth and Eveliss), Kelis Rogers was given her introduction to music - as is the case with many black performers - through participation in the church choir. This situation led to Kelis temporarily take up residence in Europe during the early 00s, in order to pursue her music where the greatest enthusiam for it existed. As a child, her musical skills were given ample excercise in several directions: attendance at a Manhattan private school provided her with lessons for the piano, violin and saxophone, and membership in the Girl's Choir of Harlem allowed her to develop her vocal abilities. www.nndb.com /people/248/000028164   (454 words)

GoHastings.com  The Eastern-influenced love song "Mafia" transformed a near-obligatory fixation with gang culture into disturbingly obsessive hip-hop romanticism on which Kelis pledges to die for her racketeering lover while on "Mars', the singer contemplates an escape to another planet but, in a grand statement of intent, opts to stay put and 'conquer the world' instead. American vocalist Kelis (pronounced Kuh-Lease) made a dramatic impact on the European market in 1999 with her debut single, "Caught Out There". Kelis regrouped and signed a new recording contract with the Neptunes' Star Trak label. www.gohastings.com /catalog/artist/artist.asp?Ctrb_Id=91509792   (362 words)

No More Tricks - [Sunday Herald] Born in New York’s Harlem district to New York to African-American jazz musician father Kenneth, and Chinese/Puerto Rican mother Eveliss, Kelis Rogers (her first name a curious combination of both parents), has had her eye on the entertainment world since she was a child singing in the Girls Choir Of Harlem. Kelis – currently riding high in the UK charts with her nagging single Trick Me – won’t be playing in Scotland this week. Nowadays, while making music is “cool”, Kelis is apparently at her happiest donning a pinny and wielding a rolling pin. www.sundayherald.com /42799   (1266 words)

CD Review: Kelis Tasty Star Trak - Daily Nexus Online Brought to stardom by legendary production team the Neptunes, R&B singer-songwriter Kelis Rogers is back with Tasty, her third and most elaborate album to date. Tasty showcases Kelis' fine voice and the fact that she has more than enough personnel employed to crank out fun music, but it's far from a fulfilling experience. While there's nothing wrong with a performer working their own angle, Kelis' raging coquette persona only causes the listener to cringe in embarrassment for her. www.ucsbdailynexus.com /print_article.php?a=6447   (240 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Tasty: Music 'Tasty' is the third album from Kelis and after the abstract funk rock of her second release 'Wanderland' returns to the R&B sound that propelled her into the media spotlight. Produced by the Neptunes, P. Diddy and Timbaland to name a few the album is a mix of futuristic R&B, hip hop and soul. Tasty is her third offering and the follow up to the under rated Wanderland. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000ZUAI2   (918 words)

Profile: Kelis Rogers kelis is the latest soul sister to attract attention from the paying public, and possibly the best randb artist to have emerged in the past few years Before you could sharply draw breath, Kelis had a hit song with a killer abrasive chorus ("I hate you so much right now"), and a fan base of mostly women who could only too easily identify with the song's sentiments. I ask Kelis why she chose to have those words inked into her skin. www.ivenus.com /entertainment/music/features/File_69820001019164816.asp   (535 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian CD review: Kelis: Wanderland In a pop world dominated by marketing managers, image consultants and songwriting factories churning out hits to order, there was something delightfully unspun about Kelis Rogers arrival in the charts in 1999. In the hands of Kelis and the Neptunes it becomes a seething, distorted slab of rage. Aside from the musical strength of her debut album, Kaleidoscope, part of Kelis's appeal lay in the fact that no army of record company executives could possibly have contrived such an artist. www.guardian.co.uk /friday_review/story/0,3605,576350,00.html   (470 words)
