I've been waiting for Kelis to release something new for what appears to be too long. Her last album Flesh Tone was an amazing dance album, and I can honestly say I liked each and every one of the songs on the album. So, when I heard there is a new Kelis track on the web, I was excited to hear it. And after I listened to it, I am not sure how I feel about it. I expected that Kelis will continue in the same direction, stick to the dance genre, but she did a one-eighty and returned to the type of music she first did when she came on to the scene. I don't dislike her previous music, but I really feel Kelis fits perfectly in the dance genre. Yes, Milkshake, Bossy and all the other previous songs were great, but Acapella and 4th of July were iconic. So when I heard Jerk Ribs I was confused to say the least. It's good, Kelis' voice is still great, there are horns in the song, but I am not sure if this is the direction I wanna see Kelis going in for the next album. Maybe it will take me a few spins to actually see how good this song is. We'll see.
