Kelis is a House and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Pharrell Williams, The Neptunes, Skream, Sean Garrett and Boys Noize.

They run in the same orbit as Missy Elliott, Kelly Rowland, Aaliyah, Pharrell Williams and TLC, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kaytranada, Chloe Bailey, Miike Snow, Bree Runway and My Humps, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
