Kelis – Food (Expresso Service)

"Kelis – Food (Expresso Service)"

Just in time for Easter our lucky cafe’s are about to receive this great album, courtesy of inertia distribution.

Kelis (yes, of ‘Milkshake’ fame) describes her sixth album as “a kind of unspoken lovefest,” produced by Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio. It mints a sound that’s rootsy without ever being self-consciously retro, that pitches live horns and gospel-y organ against electronics, that for all its classic soul and funk influences, couldn’t have been made any time but now. The Cordon Bleu trained chef has a deep passion for food and cooking — as you may have gathered from the title,and indeed the tracks Jerk Ribs, Friday Fish Fry, Biscuits N’ Gravy and Cobbler.

Tracklist:

1. Breakfast

2. Jerk Ribs

3. Forever Be

6. Hooch

7. Cobbler

8. Bless the Telephone

9. Friday Fish Fry

‘Kensal Road’ (Sony Music)
 

Kensal Road is a collection of the first recordings of original material from celebrated Australian artist Kate Ceberano in ten years.

During this time, Kate has dedicated herself to her role as mother, ambassador, for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Berlei, and numerous successful artistic ventures that include recording cover albums, roles on TV, theatre, and work as Artistic Director for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, resulting in record-breaking ticket sales this year.

Ultimately, Kat Ceberano is an esteemed singer/songwriter and it is to this arena she returns with ‘Kensal Road’

Musically, ‘Kensal Road’ echoes Kate’s early musical influences of Hawaiian folk music and Fleetwood Mac, but equally the music reflects the very current sounds of the nu-folk and nu-country movement, reflected in such singer/songwriters like Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling

Kensal Road is available in stores and on iTunes now.
