New Kelis Video: ‘Acapella’

Here is Kelis’s newest video called “Acapella,” currently No. 1 on Billboard dance charts.  The styling is super-tribal and some elements harken back to the recent appearance she made, which caused much of the internet to lose its marbles. Seeing this video, that outfit all makes a lot more sense, doesn’t it? When you’re watching, check out her super-tight mani, bigger-looking boobs, and is that her lil’ baby boy we get a peak of at the end?? [Yes, in answer to my question, it is. His name is Knight Jones and apparently the song is inspired by him.]

I’m going to see if I can’t dig up some of the fashion featured in the video. Be back soon. UPDATE: Not any info out there yet, however, Ms. Jones had this to say about the fashion featured in the video:

“It’s not fashion-oriented at all. Actually, it’s the complete opposite. I think everything is over-fashioned up that it just becomes uninteresting, and when every artist has access to every designer and vice versa, it’s no longer exciting or fun.”

I get what she’s saying. There was a time when you had to actually work to put your look together and it took creativity, too. Nowadays if you’re hooked up with the right stylist and you have a big enough budget, you snap your fingers and you’re a style icon. That being said, gotta wonder if there wasn’t a little bit of shade being thrown there at a certain singer who Kelis has (wrongly) been accused of biting style ideas from.
