'Wanderland' is one of my favourite albums of the last decade. I can see why she went with 'Young, Fresh 'N' New' for the lead single, but I think the album would have been served better by one of the catchier tunes. You can hear the template for their work with JT on his 'Justified' album in this track. Pharelle & Chad were on a hot streak at that time.
i love life. i’ve been into listening to more music of different variety and ages to get my ear more cultured and educated for years. but i still manage to find these hidden gems that gave me that feeling of listening to TPaB and Flower Boy for the first time.
I used to listen to this song and talk about the lyrics with my class mates late 90's 1998 when i was in Junior high. Love this whole Album from Kelis and the Neptunes. This Song and Album is one of the best written and produced ever. It paved the way for hip hop in the Early 2000's. It Really Stood out from anything else back then.
this gotta be one my favorite kelis songs now! outside of her mainstream songs that popped and wat she's remembered for, I only bumped consistently "millionaire" which is a classic. but after tonite, listening to her first two albums, I'm officially hooked on her.
I feel you man. Decided to dig into The Neptunes discography and ended up finding out about Wanderland and how it was finally on Spotify. This song goes so crazy! Wanderland is probably favorite album of the year.
I used to take the train to Virgin records in Manhattan just to listen to this CD. After about 5 trips I eventually broke down and bought it, it was always imported from Europe and cost like $25 bucks but I'm so happy I did. I had no idea they'd never release it in America officially.
You know I always saw that N.E.R.D cartoon Pharrell everywhere when I was little and man it’s crazy how Pharrell involved in a lot of things like Neptune’s, N.E.R.D, his solo career, numerous features and the productions for artists like this album .
ThiefOfBaghdad I’m not gonna blow smoke up my ass and say I know them because literally I discovered them last summer but it’s cool how they’re everywhere and some don’t even know
[Intro: Pharrell and Kelis] Yeah La-la, la-la, la-la [Verse 1: Kelis] Got credit cards in my pockets but I walk past bums all day (Why, why, why?) I see dealers pushing poisons but I have nothing to say (Why, why, why?) I date two people at the same time knowing it is twice the sin (Why, why, why?) Oh, yes, I have this little problem here, I'm being vain again (Why, why?) [Pre-Chorus: Kelis] Hey, man, I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part Time is running out, and we've broken the seventh seal The more I read, I realize that UFOs are real [Chorus: Kelis and Pharrell] Hey, little Suzie You don't have to cry no more Hey, little Bobby Don't you worry about the war Hey, little Jessica You just keep up with the score 'Cause God closes the windows Next thing you know, He opens doors [Verse 2: Kelis] I blew my paycheck getting real high today (Why, why, why?) I lied and told my nephew that I had no more time to play (Why, why, why?) I saw this lady getting robbed, I looked away (Why, why, why?) I put my grandma in a home and made her stay (Why, why?) [Pre-Chorus: Kelis] Hey, man, I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part Time is running out, and we've broken the seventh seal The more I read, I realize that UFO's are real [Chorus: Kelis and Pharrell] Hey, little Suzie You don't have to cry no more Hey, little Bobby Don't you worry about the war Hey, little Jessica You just keep up with the score 'Cause God closes the windows Next thing you know, He opens doors [Bridge: Kelis and Pharrell] Singing la-la, la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la Singing la-la, la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la [Verse 3: Kelis] I give in church but you are asking me where it really goes (Why, why, why?) I could give more but I end up spending it on shoes and clothes (Why, why, why?) I chew ice, look at my watch, some Middle Eastern babies sold (Why, why, why?) In the winter, I have furs knowing some poor child is cold (Why, why?) [Pre-Chorus: Kelis] Hey, man, I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part Time is running out, and we've broken the seventh seal The more I read, I realize that UFO's are real What if the Holy Trinity was Christians, Muslims, Jews?

Oh My lord this is probably the greatest Neptunes beat ever !!!

👀
Didn't this come out 2001?
Not a single skip on this album, if only the distribution hadn’t got messy. I feel her theatre influence in this song ✨
This and Jamiroquai's "Corner of the Earth" turned me on to Bossa Nova music. Such a wonderful genre.
pure gold...
Walid Elsawi bosanova
👍
I used to lie on my floor and imagine flying when that last track came on. Haven't heard it in years, got me in tears now

@@Buhrennen indeed
kelis....legend 🙌 🙌
that bossa nova vibe .If you know you know. SAUDADE
Bossa Nova thats the word I was looking for !

saudade mesmo
Vintage Neptunes takes me back
I can hear tht tyler the creator and Kali uchis inspiration
factssss
You mean the opposite right? Lol
This is way before their time ..
Bossa nova !
yessir!!!(:
Still one of my favorite albums ever
This used to be my favorite song...7th grade listening to this in class.lol ...love it
Second beat reminds me of late 90s Orbital... beautiful 😌
I used to take the train to Virgin records in Manhattan just to listen to this CD. After about 5 trips I eventually broke down and bought it, it was always imported from Europe and cost like $25 bucks but I'm so happy I did. I had no idea they'd never release it in America officially.
I paid for this cd also twice it came from Germany
This album is slept on like crazy
It speaks to you as well? Both of these songs are extraordinary. Live long and prosper, my friend.
You know I always saw that N.E.R.D cartoon Pharrell everywhere when I was little and man it’s crazy how Pharrell involved in a lot of things like Neptune’s, N.E.R.D, his solo career, numerous features and the productions for artists like this album .
bro yes I feel you, it's crazy right, you look back and The Neptunes really knew what they were doing.. timeless music
ThiefOfBaghdad I’m not gonna blow smoke up my ass and say I know them because literally I discovered them last summer but it’s cool how they’re everywhere and some don’t even know
@@edgariva12 yeah man, they made sure they were a household name, a staple of the late 90s/2000s
This was one of the first CDs I ever bought as a kid. They sold it dirt cheap too at a local record store that has since closed. Best value for $
it sounds brazilian
bossa nova influenced
I barely noticed Pharrel singing in the background! waaat
a fav..i hear her influence in many, janell monae stands out
Definitely Stereolab influenced no doubts about it... 🔥👌🏾
Greatest pre-hook ever
And this song reminds me of summer 2018 and this girl who liked me and I like who I never asked like an idiot but hopefully she’ll never see this
thank you. you live prosper and thrive as well.
WHY DID THEY TAKE THIS SHIT OFF SPOTIFY IM GONNA REVOLT
It should be there. She especially just dropped it recently after MANY years
IT SPEAKS TO ME
The Empire strikes back.~
If you like the second track go check out the neptunes produced tracks for Beanie Man mid 2000’s

I just got laid off. This song is ringing in my head
