GAH! On my way home from a half day at work, this 2004 track came on the radio. Why did this peak at number 3 on the Billboard 100? Kelis doesn't exactly showcase a lot of vocal talent here.
It's success is purely based on the beat, done by superproducers The Neptunes. I honestly think this beat is kind of junk now, but it goes to show how they could make anything hot for many years. "Produced by The Neptunes" was last decade's "ft. Lil' Wayne."
The beat is tight- I still sway my hips to this song. No, Kelis is not that impressive vocally, but not ever song has to be a bomb-shell display of vocal talent. I take this for what it is- a cutesy, sassy, bob your head tune. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sharon. It's a cute, catchy song.
