'Rumble' by Kelis

Kelis switched things up last year when she released 'Jerk Ribs', the first single off her upcoming sixth studio album Food. The album, Kelis says, is the kind of album she has wanted to make for years, and it's refreshing. She's conquered the pop/R&B world, the hip-hop world and the dance world with her previous albums, but her latest is setting her up to show her dominance over the R&B/soul genre. 'Jerk Ribs' was an enticing and funky groovy jam, but second single 'Rumble' puts a swaggerific damper on the soul sound and allows Kelis to croon in the most natural way possible. Kelis sings about a complicated relationship on this record, and it's clear that this new sound is the perfect route to express her artistic representation. Food is due out on April 22 and is shaping up to be another critical hit.
