Kelis
Trick Me

Virgin

WE SAY

Virgin have Kelis outside of North America (where she's now moved from Arista to Jive), and we're delighted they've elected to go with album highlight Trick Me as the follow-up to Milkshake. It's a Dallas Austin production and it's nothing like Milkshake - in fact it's more radio friendly in a way. This will sell a serious amount of albums.
