Flashback: Kelis // Get Along With You

Kelis was the freaky urban chick before it was cool to be weird. She was bold, artistic and most of all she didn’t give a crap what anyone thought of her. Even today, she still stands out as genuine against the fakes who are artsy for the sake of being artsy.

‘Get Along With You’ was the third and final single from Kelis’ debut album ‘Kaleidoscope’. Barely making the charts in any country, it would have to be Kelis’ most underrated single - although saying that, there are a lot of them. Even though this song is a ballad which is far more restrained much her usual work, the slick Neptunes production gives it and edge which still sounds refreshing to this very day. It was all very cutting edge when the song was released back in 2000. (Gosh it sounds strange saying that)

Lyrically this song has a lot packed into it, as Kelis emphasises how love and getting along with someone is more important than material things and even the world itself. Plus the video is amazing, showing off Kelis’ creativity at its highest level. Even though I love how Kelis is making innovative dance music with substance right now, I would love to see her return to R&B sometime. She was just too good at it to leave it behind good.
