#Kelis food review tv#
Who would’ve thought that wine-guzzling gastronome would inspire such a seductive, heavenly neo-ballad?įor her latest flavour transformation, Kelis has hired TV On The Radio’s sous-chef Dave Sitek to handle the oven knobs in her audio kitchen. “I know that I don’t look it, but I can cook,” Kelis sings on her new track ‘Floyd’, which is named, we can only hope, after the late, great Keith. 'Never trust a fat chef,' as the Daily Telegraph warned us in 2005. Mind you, the Michelin-starred silver fox sexpot Michel Roux Jr certainly loves his food, and he’s as fat as celery. Perhaps she also loves exercise, moderate portions and self-restraint. Should we take Kelis’ love of grub with a pinch of salt? For someone who professes to cherish food so much, she hardly resembles Rosemary Shrager, Tom Kerridge or Mr. Another unexpected swerve in direction, a nosh-based concept album is something you might expect of Ween or They Might Be Giants or the prestigious Fast Food Rockers. Fluently gliding through angry ball-breaking rhythm‘n’bruise, saucy milkshakin’ glitch-pop, to big-beat Euro house, Kelis acts like an upmarket butcher who moonlights as a pâtissier and does a bit of viniculture on the side.įood is Kelis’ tribute to, well, food. Effortlessly cooler than Beyoncé, amiably warmer than Gaga, and infinitely more versatile than Madonna herself, Kelis is the crème de la crème of pop stars.
