KELIS (with Variety's Steven J. Horowitz)
Variety’s Steven J. Horowitz returns to Pop Pantheon to unpack the maddeningly underrated Kelis, who spent most of her career ahead of the curve and helped to carve out a new lane for alt-pop stardom in the 2000s. Louie and Steven dig into Kelis' origin story, from meeting The Neptunes as a teenager to her debut, 1999’s futuristic pop fantasia Kaleidoscope. From there, they unpack her success across the pond with 2001’s Wanderland and 2003’s ultra eclectic and masterful Tasty, which produced her biggest US hit and signature song, “Milkshake.” Next, they cover Kelis’s first foray away from The Neptunes with 2006's Kelis Was Here, her dance pop cult classic, 2010's Flesh Tone, and her final album, 2014’s soul-influenced Food. Lastly, Louie and Steven break down Kelis' niche pop legacy and rank her in the Official Pop Pantheon.
