Description:

Kelis has always been game to subvert expectations. "Caught Out There," from her 1999 debut, Kaleidoscope, had her storming the airwaves with a chant of "I hate you so much right now!" After a sophomore disc that didn't see release in America, she returns with "Milkshake," a schoolyard taunt for grownup girls. The minimalist Neptunes production was an obvious first single from Tasty, but the CD hardly stops there. From collaborations with Andre 3000 ("Millionaire," a showcase for the OutKast frontman's falsetto) and Nas (the randy "In Public") and a rap-rock exercise ("Keep It Down") to irresistible updates of early-'80s R&B ("Protect My Heart," "Glow"), the disc offers plenty in the way of potential follow-ups. While less playful than some of her past work, Tasty brings a raised eyebrow and good humor to the 21st century sex-u-up template. --Rickey Wright

4Kelis and her finest album.  Sep 24, 2009
Her first two albums were so-so and fairly ignored. After the hit Milkshake, Kelis and her more fun side are seen on this great third album. Tracks like Trick Me keep the fun pace of the album up and Rolling Through The Hood provides a more adult vibe. Her voice, while hardly that of Beyonce, sounds comfortable on tracks like this and the album as a whole (soundwise) feels very consistent. I recommend the album to anyone looking for a new artist with an interesting take on a hip hop, R&B, pop concoction.

Best tracks: Trick Me, Keep It Down, In Public, Glow, Sugar Honey Ice Tea
Worst: Stick Up, Marathon

If you enjoy this album then I recommend seeking out her follow up; "Kelis Was Here" which includes a bunch of memorable tracks also.

3it's alright  Jul 30, 2008
i guess i need to give this one a real listen, but i've had it since it came out and i'm not that crazy about it. a few good tracks and nice beats, but i just can't get into it.

5Excellent  Apr 11, 2008
I had heard this album while on vacation, I couldn't wait to get home and have it waiting for me in the mail. Most of the time you buy a CD and only end up liking 3 or 4 songs. I listen to the whole album loving every bit of it! Her voice is hypnotizing.

4Watch her GLOW!  Mar 02, 2008
This album has one of my most favorite Kelis songs, Glow produced by Raphael Saadiq. This is a really good album. What I love most about it is that it's the first time we're hearing more of what others would do with Kelis. I like the Neptunes, but considering how recycled their beats are, it was good to hear something else from Kelis.

Fave tracks:
* Glow - Produced by Raphael S.

* Attention - Another produced by Raphael, great song

* Trick Me - It's infectious and fun, lol, I can't get enough of this

* Marathon - dark, sexy slow groove

* Stick Up - Put your hands up in the air it's a stick up! LOL @ the metaphor, still a cool song

* Sugar, Honey, Iced Tea - Nice groove from the Neptunes

* Protect My Heart

Definitely worth picking up.

Happy listening!

5Really great album  May 10, 2007
This album is so gorgeous! I wasn't a fan of Milkshake when it hit the airwaves and (wrongly) wrote the entire album off. But after getting hooked on Kelis Was Here, I decided to sample Kelis' discography. And let me say this: Tasty is one of the best album's I've ever owned. In contemporary(well...four years after the initial release) terms, this album would rival Nelly Furtado's Loose for supremacy when it comes to rock-hip-hop-pop. With The Neptunes, Andre 3000 and Raphael Saddiq, among others, at the helm, Tasty is a rock solid album.

Favorite tracks:

Trick Me
Protect My Heart
Millionaire
Glow
Sugar Honey Ice Tea
Rolling Through the Hood
Marathon
