"Acapella" is a song performed by American recording artist Kelis, taken from her fifth studio album Flesh Tone (2010). The song is a departure from her past singles in that it is a dance/electronic track rather than hip hop/R&B influenced.[1] The song was first premiered on her Twitter page and her official website in November,[1] but was digitally released February 23, 2010 as the lead single from the singer's fifth studio album Flesh Tone.[2]
The song's co-writer Makeba Riddick revealed that the song had previously been called "Majestic".[3] Kelis stated that she wrote the song "with love and life in my mind"[4] and as a tribute to her son, Knight.[5] It has received positive reviews from critics many of whom praise the song for its inspirational lyrics and for its uptempo feel-good vibe which includes angelic harmonies. The song was listed at #20 on the NME's best tracks of 2010, which they describe it "her most thrilling tune since ‘Milkshake’".[6]
