If ever a song sounded like a top ten hit then it's this one !

A fantastic comeback single from Kelis , famous for previous 5 star singles such as Caught Out There , Milkshake and Trick Me .

The hynotic vocal and it's huge chorus hook , have quite rightly gained an A list at Radio 1 , a whole month before physical release , such is the appeal of this track . Added to the mix is the glorious technicolour of the video , whose final frame , elevates the message of the song to truly wonderful heights.

There are some great club mixes of this track , and it is going down a storm on the club scene .

I firmly expect this to be in the top ten this Sunday , (where you will find Usher and Scouting For Girls battling for number 1 , my money's on the wedding aide by the way ) , but in the coming weeks interest in Acapella will grow even more and then it will challenge for the top prizes.

Acapella - 5 stars

The album Flesh Tone is out May 17th .

Love this. Love Kelis. I think my favourite female artist.

I'm so glad she's back and signed up with will.i.am's label - access to will.iam and guetta production should be a captivating mix with Kelis' style, although I'm hoping she maintains some of her previous styles as well as the more contemporary tracks like acapella.

Of course 5 stars. Def top 5, hopefully number 1.

This song is just insanely good.

I just hope they get the promotion right and she rockets to number one. It well deserves it.

Apparently she does too, as an artist. Huge critcal aclaim, renounded for making some fantastic urban music.. yet never really fullfilled potential. her sucess in the US is also limited. She is a reasonably well known artist, but can people name many hits apart from 'Milk shake' .. I can name like 3 others. Not many considering her discography.

Maybe this album will propell her really into the big time.

This song is about her son by the way, not a lover!

Yeah, for some reason the US didnt take to Kelis as much as the UK. She has enjoyed more success and recognition here. Even with a high profile marriage to Nas. A grittier version of Jay and Beyonce.

Surely you can remember tracks like Caught out there, Trick me, Lil' Star (with Cee lo) and Millionaire (with Andre 3000)?

Although, I do here Caught out there being referred to as 'the one where she shouts', so maybe not. If you are into urban music, id definitely recommend her first and fourth albums (Kaleidoscope and Kelis was here). spectacular.

The tracks I remembered before looking at the list were 'Milkshake', 'Trick me' and 'Millionaire', the obvious ones.

Caught Out There goes something like this: " I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!
I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!! AAAAAAAAGH! I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!!!!"
'Twas one of the first songs to actually scare me...

That was her? o.O ... Youtube moment... Lol. I of course recognise it. Not her finest hour..

Wow, I really like this. I think so far this is probably Kelis's best track. My personal favorite is still Lil Star, and I like all of her big songs but "Caught Out There" (It would be good if it weren't for the screaming. I seriously think this could be number 1. Not this week (either Usher of Scouting For Girls", but maybe next week.

Kelis Acapella in at 5 !!

Watch it climb .

Comment 1408 and others on Rybak , for the appeal , that a lot of us could hear , as soon as we heard this song .

I must agree with some previous comments , that both Millionaire and Lil Star , are first class Kelis tracks .

This is an amazing song. When I heard the first 10 seconds of it, I was immediately hooked on it! I like the video, very clever... It is about her son isnt it? (the song?)

Well like all great songs , the meaning of this wonderful track , is open to the listener to interpret it how they would like .

However , the wonderful , moving , and beautifully shot , final frames of this video , gives a wonderful insight into the thoughts of the singer.

A wonderful "reveal " , and that touch of magic , that gives the song a wonderful aura of wonder and awe .

I can see this topping the charts, I've said this from day 1. It's so brilliant in production and her husky, brassy vocals really lend a unique quality to the song, I feel could still be around in the summer and will be one of the real summer anthems of 2010.

Kudos, Kelis!

Oh btw, it's a 5 star song for me too. (:

Has anyone heard some of the other songs from Flesh Tone - 4th of July and 22nd Century. They're both fantastic songs and have me really excited about the album. And while still having commercial appeal, they have a sort of alternative feel and it doesn't just sound like Kelis is jumping on the dance/electropop bandwagon.

I'm really hyped up about her new album, available on 21st May.

Have to say I love this track and the video is stunning.

Brilliant ! The Bristol girl , ( what a lovely place, by the way , just about to go for a run round the Downs with Muse , Adam Lambert and David Bowie on my I-POD !) , has joined us on another song.

Hope you stick around Pixie .

very happy to hear about the return of Kelis - always one doing something different - loved her previous albums, looking forward to the new one. this single is enjoyable and catchy and am loving me some electro pop.

Spirit I don't think I can cope with any more conversation about Adam Lambert. Welcome to pixie :)

Possibly the catchiest song around. Lovely.

lol jonesy !

Hello Pixie, fancy meeting you here :)I quite like this song too.

Refer to my post on Lambert about posting regularly about different songs...Well done Peroxidepixie and magsmagenta!!!!Seriously though, this is what I meant!

On the song, I love it now! And the bit at the end of the video is hilarious!! I think I just didn't give the song enough of a chance, a well deserved hit!

I absolutely love this song, it's a grower, I'm glad it got a good reception!

So not quite the complete smash we'd hoped for.. but still did well.

If someone like Leona Lewis had released Acapella it would be no.1 for weeks... and probably rubbish.

I prefer it being good than no.1 personally

But Acapella is not released for another until the 10th May. It could get to Number 1 yet.

I am mad on this, in fact it's had well over 100 plays on my iPod and I now have 36 mixes of it...brilliant song, one of the best singles for a long long time...and i'm no Kelis fan.
