Kelis was officially 'done' with the music industry after producing singles like "Blindfold Me" and "Bossy". According to the "Acapella" singer, her next album, "Fleshtone," was inspired by a friend.

Admitting to have been well into her pregnancy when recording music for "Fleshtone," Kelis says "I had just gotten off my last label and hated the music industry. But a friend of mine from the U.K. was like, 'You should be writing."'

Falling in love with material from David Guetta, Kelis says "I started writing and he started sending tracks, like the David Guetta stuff, and I just started falling in love with my stuff."

"Fleshtone" is due in stores July 6.
