Kelis has always liked to collaborate with European dance producers, and it’s one of the things that I really admire her for.

Artists like Kelly Rowland have started to mix with that crowd recently, but Kelis was doing it back in the day. A great example was her feature on Richard X’s Finest Dreams, which was a fantastic track.

Although Kelis is going down the dance route again on her upcoming album Flesh Tone, unfortunately Spaceship won’t be featured on it. And that’s a real shame as it’s a cracking song, masterfully produced by electro house juggernaut Benny Benassi.

There is a small downside though, as this song also features that little creep apl.de.ap from the Black Eyed Peas. He doesn’t manage to ruin it though, thanks to the wonderful versatility of Kelis’s voice, who effortlessly delivers another fantastic performance.
