Kelis: Whatever you put in the ground, that is what’s going to come back to you

“I hate LA" - Kelis says in a Guardian interview, because - "There’s nowhere to go after 10 at night. So I thought, if I’m going to be in California, I should be where I can appreciate how beautiful it really is, not stuck in LA and pretending it’s a city that’s fun”. So, she moved with her two sons and husband to a 10-hectare farm deep in wine-country California, next to rocky hills. This spring she is going on a world tour to mark 'Kaleidoscope', her debut album she is very proud of - “the femaleness of the album, of the freaking outspokenness of it, the blackness of it, the alternativeness of it”.
