Kelis is now a "saucier" but will hopefully have some new music out soon too

  • June 25, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Part-time popstar Kelis has announced that she's now a "saucier".

"I love lifestyle stuff, I love house­wares. I'm really a homebody, honestly. Anything to do with my kitchen, or my house, I'm all about it," the 'Mr. U.F.O. Man' chanteuse told the NME. "I'm working on a sauce line, so that's kind of exciting. I'm a saucier."

Yes that's very nice Kelis but what about this new album?

"It depends what day you ask me, some days I'm like 'It's 80% done' and other days when I say 'I'm 40% done'. I'm sort of midway I guess. It's exciting though, it's more electro, it's a little deeper and darker."

One song that may or may not be 100% finished is with pro­fes­sional noise­maker Skream.

"I was working with a friend of mine and she said 'Skream's got this great track for you, can I get him to send it?'," she said. "So I said yes and then he sent that track and something else. I've been on a real 1990s vibe with this record, it's kind of trip-hoppish. So I wrote a track to that."

'Trip-hoppish'.
