Despite all the new assistance, Tasty is formatted much like Kaleidoscope and Wanderland, constantly swinging back and forth between bouncy pop and laid-back (not throwback) soul.
-
With Tasty, Kelis has left the roller-rink, returned from outer space, and she's back on her own two feet on terra firma-- unfortunately.
-
MojoHer voice is as irresistible as her songs. [Feb 2004, p.103]
-
Fresh, modern soul music.
-
Rolling StoneHer best work--lighter and more cohesive than [Wanderland], more focused and mature than [Kaleidoscope]. [22 Jan 2004, p.68]
-
She may not be R&B's biggest star, but Kelis remains its most compelling character.
-
SpinShe doubles the weird factor. [Feb 2004, p.104]
-
Entertainment WeeklyMuch of the beauty of Tasty is in witnessing Kelis rise to the challenge of working with multiple imaginative maestros. [12 Dec 2003, p.76]
-
BlenderIt's a declaration of independence, and she pulls it off stunningly. [Jan 2004, p.105]
-
It's not as far out wild as 'Kaleidoscope' but it is a consistently inventive and brilliant record.
-
UrbThis is Kelis' big moment, and she more than rises to the occasion. [Feb 2004, p.82]
-
After the patchy pleasures of 'Wanderland', 'Tasty' is a huge Roman orgy of an album.
-
Her most far-out R&B work to date.
-
Far and away her most radio-friendly album to date.
-
While Tasty features predictable envy-inspiring flaunts of sex and cash, the album is good-hearted, too.
-
‘Tasty’, though haunted by more than a few sops to the slick-soul zeitgeist, is an impressive return.
