Here’s a first look at Kelis‘ hot new Rankin photo shoot from her upcoming “Fleshtones” CD. Kelis is set to release the album on will.i.am’s Will.i.am Music Group /Interscope later this year.

Will.I.Am told Vibe Magazine that Kelis has the potential to be a huge international success…

Kelis has always been a best kept secret. The cool people know Kelis. But the majority of people just know ‘Milkshake.’ If Kelis were fashion she would be a girl’s favorite pair of shoes or a coat…high fashion. I would like Kelis to show she’s an international sensation. She can be big. A lot of people think big is being on the radio or that being big is having a show in London, France and sometimes Japan. But that ain’t international…that’s just three countries. The Black Eyed Peas are big; the Black Eyed Peas are international. I think Kelis can be that big. As big as the Peas.

Fergie is huge. When Fergie blew up she was bigger than me! I believe Kelis can do the same.
