Product Description
Kelis is back with a brilliant tune produced by, yes, you've guessed it, the Neptunes. Once again the guys have put together one heavy hook for the r&b starlet to accompany her amazing voice. The title track is backed with five non-LP versions of the title track 'Milkshake' (X-Press 2 Triple Thick Vocal Mix, DJ Zinc Remix, FreQ Nasty's Hip Hall Mix, Tom Neville Remix & Video). Enhanced section includes photo gallery, wallpaper, biography, lyrics & competition. Virgin. 2003.

4.0 out of 5 stars Original Milkshake still the best!, June 1, 2004

I love Milkshake, but the remixes excluding number 2 are just okay. Number 2 is actually pretty good. Instead of buying the single, but her cd, Tasty, now that will fill satisfy your appetite.

3.0 out of 5 stars hot...then the lyrics broke in, February 2, 2004

By A Customer

This is the lead single for the new Kelis album, and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the CD. Written by the Neptune's, "Milkshake" comes off as less of some kind of street-front tease to the guys than a taunt to other girls - as in "it's MY Milkshake that brings 'em out". The beat mixes north African drums with Turkish finger-cymbals, and it all sounds oriental-sexy until the lead vocal comes in. I can just imagine the video - doubtless full of men whose mouths water at the thought of one of Kellis's unique desserts. It;s almost like you have to regret how much sexier the beat is than the song that exploits it. Less crafted than produced, this single comes packaged like a real milkshake, with 5 versions (radio, house, more techno, and heavy rap) "guaranteed" to suit the flavor preferences of any would-be fan. It's supposed to get you moving, but what can you say about a single that loses its allure once the lead vocal cuts in?
