THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 13 - 2. KELIS (320kbs-m4a/132mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 1st March 2018
Kelis shares her musical milestones with Matt Everitt in a programme first broadcast in 2016.
She talks through her musical story, from growing up in a strict 'jazz only' household with a saxophonist dad, through to discovering a love of grunge at college, and combining this with a passion for RnB. She talks about meeting the Neptunes, which proved to be a pivotal partnership in her genre bending musical path, although getting a record deal for was far from easy.
She tells of her struggles to be 'understood' by a music industry that wanted to pigeonhole her, and of the astonishing year-long battle she had over the track 'Milkshake', which of course went on to be a global hit and who's terminology became part of popular culture.
She explains her love for food and how she stepped out of music for a time to focus on this, and how she came back and worked with Dave Sitek on a new album, which was of course titled Food.
