Sunday Times Kelis Feature

We love our dear Kelis! Her latest interview for the Sunday Times is just a glimpse into the busy life of this singer, mother and chef! (yes, she's a formally trained cook).

On Her Present Life:

“My mom always used to tell us, ‘Your twenties? Whatever. In your thirties you’ll be your most beautiful, your sexiest, your smartest.’ I’ve been through so many life changes getting here, it’s, like, she was right.” She describes Acapella as “a love song — ‘before you, my whole life was acapella’ — like, before you came I was singing alone, there was no music”, and says she wrote it for her son.

On Standing Up for Yourself and Moving On:

Kelis seems to embody the notion of the alpha female — a woman who isn’t afraid to voice her full rage, who is in control of her sexuality and who will file for divorce from her husband six months into her first pregnancy if those “differences” are “irreconcilable” enough. Her message has always been about standing up for yourself — now it appears to be about moving on. She says she doesn’t hold grudges. “I definitely get verbal and confron­tational,” she says, “but once I get it out, I’m good. If life knocks you down, you just get up again. And again. And again.”
