SANTA MONICA, Calif., June
2 /PRNewswire/ — Robyn and Kelis will kick off a
North American co-headlining tour on July 23rd
at The Music Box in Los Angeles. The
two recently exchanged tweets about the outing, deciding to name it the “All
Hearts” tour. Robyn and Kelis have selected UK
sensation Dan Black and Far
East Movement, Robyn’s Cherrytree Records label mates, to
kick off the festivities. Black was named as one of the Top 15
rising music stars on the BBC’s “Sound of 2009” list and heralded in the
States for his recent solo debut, UN, and its smash
single/video, “Symphonies.” Far East Movement, who were recently
handpicked by Lady Gaga as support, will open with their kinetic brand
of hiptronica music and preside over the breaks between performers with a
live version of their FM Cherrybomb DJ Spin-off, which airs Saturdays
at 9 p.m. PDT at www.CherrytreeRadio.com.
The tour will conclude at New York City‘s
Webster Hall on August
5th.
Both Robyn and Kelis
have received stellar reviews for their latest offerings. “Genius…
she’s still ruling the school,” NME said recently of Robyn’s
Body Talk PT 1, her new album, which is scheduled for
release on June 15th. Pitchfork.com named
it “best new music” earlier this week in an 8.5 out of 10 review. A mix
of cool electronica, heartfelt pop and tracks that have all the
hallmarks of becoming classic club and radio hits, Body Talk PT 1 is
the follow-up to her self-titled 2007 album, which
produced the international No. 1 smash single “With Every Heartbeat” and
the Top 10 hit “Be Mine.” “Dancing On My Own,” the lead single
from Body Talk PT 1, is streaming now
at www.robyn.com. While
in North America, Robyn will
also perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Montreal‘s
Osheaga Festival and the first-ever Disco Lemonade: Summer Mashup
Festival in Toronto.
Kelis’
Flesh Tone, described by The New
York Times as “one of her strongest records yet,” came
out recently in the U.K., where early reviews have been remarkable,
including 5 stars from Glamour, 4.5 stars from NOW Magazine
and an 8 out of 10 rating from NME. It appeared on spin.com’s
list of “25 Summer Albums That Matter Most” and perezhilton.com also
found it one of the summer’s best, noting: “There are soooooo many good
songs on Kelis album! Actually, they are ALL good!” Flesh
Tone will be released by will.i.am Music Group/Interscope
Records in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New
Zealand on July 6th. It will be
available for pre-order on the iTunes Store beginning June 15th. First single “Acapella,” which
hit No. 1 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs Chart and Music
Week’s Pop Club Chart in the U.K. earlier this year, will be
followed by “4th of July (Fireworks).“ Kelis is
known for such hits as “Caught Out There,” the Top 5, GRAMMY®-nominated
“Milkshake” and “Bossy,” a million-selling ringtone. Fans can check out “Acapella”
and “4th of July (Fireworks)” at www.iamkelis.com.
