Kelis Kaleidoscope 180g 2LP (Orange Vinyl)

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 391/500!

Kaleidoscope is the debut studio album by American singer, songwriter and chef Kelis.

It was released on 7th December 1999 by Virgin Records and was produced entirely by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo). The album performed well in international markets, including the United Kingdom, where it was certified gold.

Kaleidoscope charted on the US Billboard 200. In Europe, all three singles - "Caught Out There," "Good Stuff," and "Get Along with You" - attained commercial success.

After reaching number 52 on the UK Singles Chart on imports alone, "Caught Out There" was given a proper release in the UK, eventually peaking at number four. "Good Stuff" also proved a success, reaching number 19 on the UK chart. The third and final single from the album, "Get Along with You" also charted.

As well as producing the album, Williams and Hugo also feature on album track "Ghetto Children" where Slick Rick is a co-writer.

Album guest features also include Markita and Justin Vince. This vinyl reissue will feature four alternative versions of the tracks "Caught Out There" and "Get Along With You," all on vinyl for the first time.

'I hate you so much right now!' Kelis blasted on her debut single 'Caught Out There,' giving spurned lovers around the world an instant anthem. It set the tone for a knockout R&B debut. Kaleidoscope was also a showcase moment for the Neptunes (Pharrell and Chad Hugo), who helmed the album's production, backing Kelis with a barrage of splatting keyboards and thwacking drums and giving the album a taut consistency. Yet the singer was so charismatic she might not have needed them. 'I hate you so much right now!' doesn't lose any force a cappella.
