Ninja Tune

American singer and songwriter, Kelis, was born on August 21, 1979 in Harlem, New York City. She gained recognition after signing a production deal with the renowned production team The Neptunes. Her debut album "Kaleidoscope" (1999) received critical acclaim. Despite facing setbacks with her second album "Wanderland" (2001), Kelis found success with her third album "Tasty" (2003), which featured the hit single "Milkshake". She continued to evolve her sound with electronic influences in albums like "Flesh Tone" (2010) and explored new musical directions in her sixth studio album "Food" (2014).

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Kelis describes her sixth album as 'a kind of unspoken lovefest', involving two unlikely partners. On the one hand, there is Kelis Rogers, who first came to prominence singing the hook of Ol' Dirty Bastard's 1999 hit 'Got Your Money'. This was the visually and sonically compelling 20 year-old whose debut album Kaleidoscope helped usher in the wave of sharp, thrillingly futuristic R&amp;B that dominated the charts in the early Noughties, as exemplified by her global hit, 'Milkshake'. On the other there is Dave Sitek, guitarist in acclaimed Brooklyn experimentalists TV On The Radio and producer to a certain kind of smart, indie band (the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals and Liars to name a few). 'Food' is a startling combination of Kelis' most frank and vulnerable vocals to date, and Sitek's inimitable sonic imprint. Littered with transcendent, Spector-esque lift, warm bottom ends and vast depth, the music is the perfect backdrop for Kelis' unique voice. The latter has only improved with time and experience, and the album candidly explores pain, happiness and everything in between. Recorded at Sitek's house in LA (and entirely produced by him), Kelis' new album, 'Food', mints a sound that's rootsy without ever being self-consciously retro, that pitches live horns and gospel organ against electronics, that for all its classic soul and funk influences, couldn't have been made any time but now.
