Dec 3, 2010Far the best Kelis album, It is completely different from her previous albums but in a good way. All tracks compliment each other and flow brilliantly. Kelis is one of those artist that I believe don't get enough recognition and she deserves so much more. Intro, Fireworks (4th of July), Acapella, 22nd Century & Brave are my top tracks. Should be on your iPod!

Aug 12, 2011Having not really been a fan of Kelis I didnt really plan on buying this album. After 'Acapella' and '4th Of July' I downloaded it and WOW! One of the greatest albums I've ever bought!!!

Aug 11, 2013"Flesh Tone" is not Kelis' best album. I feel like Kelis should go back to hip hop or R&B, because she isn't an electronic singer. I expect more on her next album.

Nov 9, 2010Quite Good. Although most of the songs on the album don't stand out that much, the way the entire album flows together creates a brilliant piece of art. Highlights include "Acapella", "Scream" and "Brave".

Dec 19, 2016Removing some of the interludes would have made a lot of difference. That said, it's still a brilliant dance record. Kelis is very much the pop-underdog. Flesh Tone once again proved she's always one of the first artists to create.

Sep 26, 2011Neither hated it or loved it. It certainly deserves far more success than it got. I enjoyed the majority of her new sound, some hard hitting electro beats, but with David Guetta and Benny Benassi what more could you expect ? It does at times feel alittle forces, i-must-fit-this-genre kinda feelings do drag this album down in parts, but all in all, a good album from a very underrated artist.

Nov 15, 2011This is the real pop we expected from 2010. It was a big change in Kelis's style, from R&B to totally techno song, but it fitted for her. Great songs like 'Acapella' and 'Brave' makes this the best change of style ever made in the music industry.

Feb 18, 2014The segues compliment the tracks very well. Each song tells a different story. The techno, dance beats with Kelis' supernatural voice is just simple amazing. The best dance album I've heard in a extremely long time. I advise Kelis to stick with the Electronic path. It suits her and compliments her voice very well!

Oct 23, 2017A capacidade de inovação da Kelis é incrível. Mais um álbum que pertence a um estilo comum como eletro, mas que ela conseguiu fazer ficar único. Flesh Tone é um ótimo álbum.

Jul 3, 2018Modern, original and cohesive, Flesh Tone is one of the most solid records released in 2010. There are some killer songs on this one (e.g. "4th of July", "Scream", "Home").
Awards & Rankings
-
Buoyed by a favorable divorce settlement, a baby boy and a newly released high-energy dance album, Flesh Tone, the recently single Kelis is ready to bring the boys back to the yard.
-
Whether or not Flesh Tone remains a stylistic outlier, the disc will always be a bright standout in Kelis' discography.
-
Kelis's honey-husky voice slips easily into the hypnotic repetitions of dance music vocalisation; she uses the classic language of love songs and the soaring declarations of generalized euphoria particular to house music.
