Her creative, cutting-edge and often flamboyant style has been an inspiration across the globe and even landed her on E!’s Fashion Police earlier this month.

She took the stage with an explosive entrance and, with microphone in hand, Kelis spit out numerous of her club stoppers while working fluidly own the stage just after 1 am. On her second song, she actually jumped on the drums for the performance, quite a feat in the mini-dress, but the songstress managed to rock out while the dance floor pulsed in response. Tryst’s incredible architecture played host to one of the most magnificent backdrops with the 90-foot cascading waterfall blazing her name on the rocks as she serenaded from the stage in front of the club’s signature lagoon.
Kelis’ career went mainstream in the US with the release of “Milkshake” landing in the top three of Billboard’s Hot 100 and number one on Hot Dance Club Play. She soon after followed that popular single with the multi-platinum hit “Bossy” off her 2006 released album “Kelis Was Here.” In 2010 she moved forward with releasing her fifth studio album, where she worked with various XS and Tryst resident DJs including David Guetta and Diplo as well as will.i.am who frequently takes the decks. That same year, Kelis collaborated on the club anthem “Bounce” by Wynn resident Calvin Harris.
