Kelis prepares "Flesh Tone" release

Following the release of "Bossy" and her 2006 album, Kelis has been away from the game. For years, she has been around and she has posted hits from time-to-time. But, for the most part, Kelis has never been a household name. However, after the release of "Bossy," things looked as if they were going to change.

Had she and Nas not put the brakes on a four-year marriage, things may have turned out better for her career. Once the seemingly-happy couple fell out of love, Kelis had to change her plans. She soon made news by fighting Nas for child support money. Her divorce from Nas has provided Kelis more attention than her music ever did.

Kelis is hoping that the attention will soon switch back to her music, as she is working on a new album. The new album, Flesh Tone, is already in production. The first single from the album "Acapella," which has topped some international charts. Kelis will release Flesh Tone on July 6, 2010 on Interscope Records.
