Kelis – Flesh Tone [REVIEW]
There’s no doubt Kelis‘ ‘Flesh Tone’ was the best album of 2010, even though she didn´t get a Grammy for this excellent work. Last year we were all impressed with her new musical direction on this record because she has always been a Hip Hop artist for years. “Flesh Tone” is a mixture of electronic sounds, believe it or not, Kelis transformed her garage into a music studio, which later she named it Casa de Kelis.
Another great thing to mention about this album is that Kelis collaborated with top DJs and producers of the world (will.i.am, David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Tocadisco, Burns, Free School, DJ Ammo, Boys Noize, etc.) and she recorded all her songs while she was pregnant of her first child. Kelis created this album with love and she was motivated by her motherhood state, that´s why this album is so special. The only thing I didn´t like about the album was the number of tracks. “Flesh Tone” is really amazing and I encourage you to buy it, but 9 tracks aren´t enough to have fun.
Intro The first track is a short introduction to an Italo Disco sound, a song without an original name.
22nd Century A fantastic track produced by Boys Noize, its futuristic lyrics welcome you to the 22nd century, a brave new world where everybody´s dancin´. I don´t understand why this wasn´t a promotional single, it´s definitely one of the best songs on the album.
4th of July (Fireworks) Kelis´ high energy vocals + the piano melody will make you go high!
Home Simply amazing! this song reminds me of the lesbian duo t.A.T.u.
Acapella Produced by David Guetta, it became an instant worldwide hit, on this song Kelis sings very well like never before.
Scream Another track produced by Guetta, but this was my least favorite track on the album because it sounds like a total mess. However, it´s pretty danceable in some parts of the song.
Emancipate My favorite track of “Flesh Tone”, it´s totally addictive and this will make you dance all night long. I also feel identified with the lyrics, because my goal in life is to achieve my own emancipation. This tune was produced by Benny Benassi.
Brave You will love the ElectroTech sound of this song, the second track produced by Benassi, and the fourth promotional single of “Flesh Tone”.
Song For The Baby A song influenced by House music of the early 2000s, a lovely tune that talks about motherhood.

If you’re on the hunt for Dance music with female vocals, your search stops right here. VASSY, the electrifying artist known for her powerful vocals and chart-topping hits, has unleashed her brand new music video for “Krazy.”
There’s no denying it; this is a gift for those who live for the party scene! Additionally, her singing voice steps into the limelight, by injecting the song with a blend of energy and heartfelt emotion.
Most importantly, “Krazy” serves as a reminder that music can be a powerful tool for empowerment, as these lyrics inspire you to be a beacon of strength and confidence. Plus, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
On the other hand, while it’s true that music appreciation is deeply personal, I still believe that dance music with female vocals sounds better than male vocals because they are more melodic, emotive, and harmonious. Of course, this comes accompanied by songwriting, and the production quality.
In short, “Krazy” will leave you wanting more, so look no further, and explore more options via Spotify through the Best Running Playlist — Top EDM 2023.

Marten Hørger continues his hot streak of this year’s singles with the new self-released piece “Love All Night,” which perfectly represents his already energetic signature style. The new record begins with plucky melodies underneath a soulful vocal, and the lyrics immediately set the tone for a sultry and dance-worthy gem.
Marten swiftly ups the ante by incorporating deep, growling basslines that will have the crowd stomping, coupled with undulating synths, to hold peak energy throughout the drop. “Love All Night” is a winning combination of appealing vocals, dynamic and groovy rhythms, and danceable beats, making for a future club and festival anthem. It follows the German house maestro’s “Ill Behavior” on Spinnin’ Records, his recent collaboration “The Freaks” with David Guetta, and “Get Real High” with Shift K3Y at Tomorrowland Music.
”’Love All Night’ is a track that holds a special place in my heart. Normally, I write and produce all my songs fully on my own, but for this time I created this tune with a singer and songwriter and every time I perform it, the crowd’s response is just electrifying. I’m so happy about this one.” — Marten Hørger
