90 Kelis


Although Kelis has been a huge sensation in Europe, Latin America and Asia since 1999, she didn’t hit it big in America until she released her third album, Tasty, in 2003. Her single “Milkshake” had women everywhere shaking their booties, for which we are eternally grateful. Kelis has also collaborated with an incredible range of musicians, including Busta Rhymes, Foxy Brown, Lil’ Kim, OutKast, Diddy, Usher, Moby, Bjork, No Doubt, Enrique Iglesias, and her husband, rapper Nas.


In 2006, Kelis burst back onto the scene in style with her single “Bossy” from her fourth album, Kelis Was Here. But that was only the beginning, as the sexy singer tackled a variety of different projects, including writing a cookbook and designing her own line of fashion accessories. Although she had yet to make it onto the Top 99 Most Desirable Women list, all these accomplishments and her increased visibility secured her a spot in the 2007 edition. In fact, if she weren’t married to Nas, we’d be happy to let her "boss" us around all day.


A prestigious statuette could be in Kelis’ near future, as Kelis Was Here was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 2007 Grammy Awards. You will also be able to hear her distinctive voice in 2007 commercials for Ford Edge, for which she recorded a theme song with the help of Grammy-nominated producer Scott Storch. As Kelis is constantly taking on new and varied projects, you are guaranteed to see more of this multitalented beauty in 2007.
