I hate it,” says the New York singer, unconcernedly reviving the music industry’s old east coast-west coast rivalry. She has made dance music, soul music and even – on my favourite of her songs, Like You, from her fourth album, 2006’s Kelis Was Here – sampled Mozart.

The reissue of the Kaleidoscope album is out on 21 February.
