He mele ʻAmelika, mea hana, a haku mele kaulana ʻo Kelis no kāna mau mele Milkshake a me Bossy. Ua hoʻomaka ka mea mele i kāna ʻoihana mele ma 1997. Mahalo i kāna hana me ka duo hana ʻo The Neptunes, ua lilo kāna mele mua loa ʻo Caught Out There i kaulana a paʻi i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe o nā mele R&B maikaʻi loa. Mahalo i ke mele ʻo Milkshake a me ka album Kelis Was Here, ua loaʻa i ka mea mele nā koho Grammy a me ka ʻike ākea ma ka ākea media.
ʻO nā makahiki mua o ka mea mele Kelis
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Kelis Rogers a hānai ʻia ma Manhattan. Ua piʻi mai nā mākua me ka inoa o ka mea mele ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻāpana o ko lākou mau inoa - Kenneth lāua ʻo Evelisse. He kumu aʻo kona makuakāne ma ke Kulanui Wesleyan. A laila ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hoʻokani jazz a he kuhina Pentecostal. Ua hana ʻo Māmā ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻolālā hana, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā haʻawina mele a ke kaikamahine. He ʻekolu kaikuahine ka mea hoʻokani.
Mai ka makahiki ʻehā, ua hoʻokani ʻo Kelis i nā hale kalapu a puni ka ʻāina me kona makuakāne. Ua pāʻani ʻo ia me nā mea pena e like me Dizzy Gillespie a me Nancy Wilson. Ma ke koi a kona makuahine, ua aʻo ka mea mele i ka violin classic mai ka wā kamaliʻi. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e pāʻani i ka saxophone i kona wā ʻōpio. Ma muli o ke ʻano o kona mau kaikuaʻana ʻekolu, ua hīmeni ʻo Kelis i ka hui mele Harlem no kekahi manawa. No nā hana, ua hele mai ka makuahine o nā kaikamāhine me nā lole hoʻolālā kala a humuhumu iā lākou e kauoha.
I ka makahiki 14, ua komo ʻo Kelis i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo LaGuardia no ka Music & Art and Performing Arts. Ua koho ʻo ia i ke kuhikuhi e pili ana i ka dramaturgy a me ka hale keaka. Ma ʻaneʻi, i kāna aʻo ʻana, ua hana ka mea mele i kahi trio R&B i kapa ʻia ʻo BLU (Black Ladies United). Ma hope o kekahi manawa, hoihoi ka hui i ka mea hana hip-hop Goldfinghaz. Ua hoʻolauna ʻo ia iā Kelis a me nā lālā ʻē aʻe i ka rapper RZA.
Ua emi ka pilina o Kelis me kona mau mākua i kona mau makahiki ʻōpio. A i ka makahiki 16, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e noho iā ia iho. Wahi a ka mea pena, ua ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī ma mua o kāna i manaʻo ai: "ʻAʻole maʻalahi. Ua lilo ia i paio maoli. Ua paʻa loa au i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e noʻonoʻo pehea e hānai ai iaʻu iho, no laila ʻaʻole wau i noʻonoʻo i ke mele." No ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea e pono ai, pono ke kaikamahine e hana ma kahi pā a ma nā hale kūʻai lole.
"ʻAʻole wau makemake e hana mai 9 a 17 i kēlā me kēia lā. A laila pono wau e noʻonoʻo i ka mea hiki iaʻu ke hana e ola i ke ʻano aʻu i makemake ai. I kēlā manawa, ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻi i ka mele aʻu i hana ai i koʻu ola makua, a e uku wale ʻia.
ʻO ka hoʻomakaʻana o kaʻoihana mele a ka mea mele Kelis
Ua kōkua ka hui hana ʻo Neptunes i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka ʻoihana mele a Kelis. I ka makahiki 1998, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ka mea mele i kahi ʻaelike me Virgin Records. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana ma ka album studio Kaleidoscope, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i Dekemaba 1999. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā mele ʻo Caught Out There, Good Stuff a me Get Along with Yo. Ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka moʻolelo, ua kūleʻa kēia mau mele i ke kālepa, a ua hoʻonui ʻia ka hoihoi o ka poʻe hoʻolohe iā Kaleidoscope. 14 mele i hana ʻia e The Neptunes. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua hana maikaʻi ʻole ka album ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā Kaleidoscope ke komo i waena o nā palapala ma nā ʻāina ʻEulopa. No ka laʻana, ma UK, ua lawe ʻo ia i ke kūlana 43 a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he "gula".
I ka makahiki 2001, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i kāna album lua ʻo Wanderland. Ua loaʻa wale ia ma ʻEulopa, ʻAsia a me Latin America. Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻaʻole hiki ke lohe ʻia. I ka manawa o ka hana ʻana i ka moʻolelo mai ka inoa ʻo Virgin Records, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā mea hana i kōkua i ka mea hoʻokani me Kaleidoscope. ʻAʻole i manaʻoʻiʻo nā limahana hou o ka hui i ka holomua o ka album, no laila ʻaʻole lākou i nānā nui i ka hana. Ma muli o kēia, ʻo ka hui ʻana o Wanderland he "hane" pāʻoihana. Ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ke kūlana 78th wale nō ma UK. ʻO Young, Fresh n' New wale nō ka mea lanakila, i hiki i ka 40 kiʻekiʻe ma UK. Ua emi ka pilina o Kelis me Virgin Records ma muli o ke kūʻai haʻahaʻa. No laila, ua hoʻoholo ka luna lepili e hoʻopau i ka ʻaelike me ka mea mele.
Hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Kelis me Virgin Records
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Kelis i kahi hālāwai ninaninau ma 2020 a kamaʻilio ʻo ia e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻole o ke kālā mai kāna mau album mua ʻelua ma muli o The Neptunes. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana me The Guardian, wehewehe ka mea mele: "Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu e hoʻokaʻawale mākou i nā mea āpau ma 33/33/33, akā ʻaʻole mākou." I ka wā mua, ʻaʻole i ʻike ka mea pena i ka nalowale o ke kālā, no ka mea i kēlā manawa e loaʻa kālā ana ʻo ia ma ka huakaʻi. I ka ʻike ʻana o Kelis ʻaʻole i uku ʻia ʻo ia no ka hana, ua huli ʻo ia i ke alakaʻi o ka duo hana.
Ua wehewehe lākou iā ia ua hōʻike ʻia nā mea āpau e pili ana i ke kālā ma ka ʻaelike, a ka mea mele ponoʻī i kau inoa. “ʻAe, ua pūlima au i ka mea i haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, he ʻōpio wau a he naʻaupō hoʻi e nānā pālua i nā ʻaelike āpau, "i ʻōlelo ai ka mea hana.
ʻO ka holomua o ke kolu o ka album Kelis a me ka piʻi wikiwiki o ka kaulana
Ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana iā Virgin Records, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Kelis e hana i kahi album ʻekolu. Ua hoʻoholo ka mea mele e hoʻokuʻu i ka disc ma lalo o ka mālama ʻana o Star Trak a me Arista Records. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka album Tasty i 4 mau mele: Milkshake, Trick Me, Millionaire a me In Public. Ua lilo ʻo Milkshake i mele kaulana loa a ka mea pena i kāna ʻoihana. Mahalo hoʻi i kēia hoʻokahi, ua hiki ke hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe i ka album studio i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Dekemaba 2003.
Ua kākau ʻia a hana ʻia e The Neptunes. Eia naʻe, ua manaʻo mua ʻia e hana ʻia e Britney Spears. I ka hōʻole ʻana o Spears i ke mele, hāʻawi ʻia iā Kelis. Wahi a ka mea pena kiʻi, ua hoʻohana ʻia ka "milkshake" i loko o ke mele ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohālikelike no "kekahi mea e hoʻohanohano ai nā wahine." ʻIke ʻia ke mele no kāna mele euphemistic a me ka puolo R&B haʻahaʻa. I ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka Milkshake, "ʻike koke ʻo Kelis he mele maikaʻi loa ia" a makemake ʻo ia e lilo i mele mua loa o ka album.
Ua piʻi ka mea hoʻokahi i ka helu 3 ma ka Billboard Hot 100 i Dekemaba 2003. Ua hōʻoia ʻia ma hope o ke gula ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi i kūʻai aku ai i 883 mau hoʻoiho uku. Eia kekahi, i ka makahiki 2004, ua koho ʻia ke mele no "Best Urban or Alternative Performance" (Grammy Award).
ʻO ke kolu o ka album, ʻo Tasty, loaʻa nā manaʻo maikaʻi mai ka poʻe hoʻohewa. Ua ʻike lākou i ke kumu a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka maikaʻi o nā mele a me ke kani i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā hana mua a ka mea hoʻokani. Ma ka diski hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i nā mele e hōʻike ana iā Saadiq, André 3000 a me Nas (ke hoaaloha o ka mea mele i kēlā manawa). I kāna pule mua, ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 27 ma ka Billboard 200. Ua lilo pū ʻo ia i album lua a ka mea pena (ma hope o Kelis Was Here (2006)) i luna o nā palapala.
Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Kelis Was Here a me ka lua Grammy nomination no Kelis
I ʻAukake 2006, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i kāna album ʻehā ʻo Kelis Was Here ma Jive Records. Ua hoʻomaka ia ma ka helu 10 ma ka Billboard 200 a ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no kahi makana Grammy no ka Best Contemporary R&B Album. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka makana i ka mea hoʻokani. I ka wā o ka hanana, ua hoʻolaha ʻia ʻo Beyoncé i ka lanakila.
ʻO ka mana honua o ka album he 19 mau mele. Ma waena o lākou he mau mele me will.i.am, Nas, Cee-Lo, Too Short and Spragga Benz. ʻO Bossy ka mea hoʻokahi, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka rapper Too Short. Ua piʻi ka mele ma ka helu 16 ma ka Billboard Hot 100 a ua hōʻoia ʻia ka platinum pālua e ka RIAA. ʻO nā mele ʻelua ʻelua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e "hoʻolaha" i ka album ʻo Blindfold Me me Nas a me Lil Star me Cee-Lo.
Ua loaʻa i ka moʻolelo Kelis Was Here nā manaʻo maikaʻi mai ka poʻe loiloi mele. Ma Metacritic, he 70 ka helu o ka album ma muli o 23 mau loiloi.
Pehea i ulu hou ai ka ʻoihana mele a Kelis?

Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā hana mua ma ke ʻano R&B, a laila he mea hou kēia moʻolelo i ke kani. ʻO nā mele i hui pū ʻia e like me ka electronic dance-dance-pop a me electropop, i komo pū me nā mea o ka hale, synth-pop a me ka hale hula.

Ua puka mai ka album aʻe ʻo Food i 4 mau makahiki ma hope mai. Ua hoʻololi hou ka mea mele i kāna kani, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano like ʻole: funk, neo-soul, Memphis soul and afrobeat. ʻO ka leo o ka mea mele i wehewehe ʻia e ka poʻe hoʻohewa he "hoarse and smoke". ʻO ka moʻolelo "ʻaʻole i holomua" ma luna o ka helu 73 ma ka Billboard 200, akā hiki i ka helu 4 ma ka UK Top R&B Albums Chart.

He mea nui ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hōʻike kuke i hui pū me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album studio ʻehā ʻo Food. I kēia manawa, ʻike ʻia ʻo Kelis ʻaʻole wale ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, akā, he kuke nō hoʻi.
