Kelis has been pretty quiet since her departure from Arista Records, which was responsible for propelling her to stardom with international hit Milkshake. A new single surfaced online today from the R&B singer/songwriter and it is produced by red-hot French DJ/producer David Guetta. Guetta of course, brought us two of this summer's biggest hits When Love Takes Over (Kelly Rowland) and I Got a Feeling (Black Eyed Peas). The streak doesn't appear to be coming to a halt any time soon as this new single from Kelis titled Acapella sounds every bit a hit too.Many will note that the track contains similarities to the Giorgio Moroder-produced classic I Feel Love (Donna Summer), which has inspired many great moments in pop music like Kylie Minogue's Light Years and Madonna's Future Lovers. Lyrically, Acapella is a metaphor for how bare Kelis' life was before her son Knight came into her life; he added the music to her life and made it complete. Definitely lots of potential here and a track to listen out for. Kelis' next studio album will be released early 2010 through Geffen Records.

While I would hate an album full of these, it stays in your head better than I thought. Plus it does make me excited to find out what she is flavouring the rest of the album as.
