Eastern influence will always find its way into a hippie’s music; it’s inevitable. Not sure if Kellee Maize would necessarily refer to herself as such, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibilities. She’s not ignorant to people’s aversion to her music because of who she is or what she speaks on. She makes this clear with the sitar-filled, reggae-influenced “Pulse.” She also makes it clear that it doesn’t bother her. The chorus on “Pulse” is seductively melodic with conversational verses resting in between urging the listener to join her on a spiritual journey towards love.
She might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think she’d rather serve her blend organically to a smaller crowd than spread poison to the masses.

2 Coolers today?
Awesome.
good looking girl
this song is tired.
I’m feelin these white girls yall been posting lately, their music ain’t that bad either
sick song – actually heard this song about a year ago though … it’s been out for a while.
Check out the Kellee Maize single “Mind Right” … she raps over Young Money’s bedrock with her hippy stuff.

Great write-up … i feel the same way about this song. I can’t understand why I like it so much, it actually took a while to grow on me. Ras Maisha is actually a really good artist too … he’s appeared on a lot of local people’s tracks.
As far as spreading poison to the masses … i think she can go mainstream.
Does a mainstream even exist anymore? If it does (it doesn’t in my opinion) – it’s dying fast – thank goodness!
I think it’s just in our heads … the internet is all about niches.
Sexy song with a dope beat, thanks for writing about this chick she’s def different!
As far as spreading poison to the masses … i think she can go mainstream.

I agree with you. But if she had to choose, i think she’d stick with her style forever & never make it than to switch up & go mainstream..
@k1ng_tss
without a doubt – also, you can still make more money than a venture capitalist while only having 50,000 fans. Just treat those 50,000 fans like gold and sell them each a song for a dollar twice a month.
I Love Love Love this song! Finally, someone has created positive music with tight beats that can motivate instead of divise.
LOVEKELLEE MAIZE BUT NO ME GUSTA PULSE TANTO … PREFIERO MOTHERSHIP
thanks for sharing….
yeah thanks for sharing..i clicked the link to dl the album – but whoever hosts it — it’s not there nemore!!
so i requested a physical copy..2 weeks tho.
rmf!
@justbov … u sur eman? I just downloaded her single and her album off the link they gave … try it again. Maybe she’s getting lots of downloads since it’s free.
help her choose her next beat! i think they all suck ;o)

What a great article! You really know your stuff man! MAke sure you got your base turned up for this song
LOVE this song!
just saw her perform at peter’s pub tonite, googled her and found this … hot song! she killed it tonight too!
@jonnet I was at Peter’s as well, the girl is hot! Mind Right….Purely awesome, however Pulse is fly!
i need to preface this by saying that i follow TSS on hype machine darn near religiously….
which is why this is so fucking offensive. this is literally the worst song i have heard on hype-machine in a goddamn year. when it showed up in my feed, i immediately had to click the post link to see what fuck-up was responsible, and so here i am. are you people fucking insane? did you actually listen to the lyrics? this is the most insipid, cliche, bubbly 14 year old bullshit i have ever fucking heard. at least there isn’t an obnoxious, lazy timbaland in 2001 rip-off beat…oh wait.
if you ever post anything this wack again, i’ll be at your front door with a machete. jesus christ.
I love it!
..but it’s unfortunate that some people are so small-minded and feel the need to be haters.
@loudmouthdick
cliche?
how is “pulsating” cliche? do you even know what that means?
you must be the most spiritually inclined person in the world … or maybe you’re just a retard.
I think the latter …
Read more about what pulsating is here you crackhead. Then you’ll get this song and understand why it’s been downloaded over 100K. (myspace.com/kmaizemusic)
The world is going through a shift, and the dumbasses like you will get left behind.

She is GREAT!
Pulse is a fantastic song, I could listen to it all day!
Kellee is spreading such a powerful message! It’s great!
It’s great that she sticks to what she believes in rather than letting herself get sucked into the norm, she’s doing really great work!
I love that she makes the music that she wants to. Kellee is amazing! Love her music.
The fact that she is so unique is what is going to make her successful. She is unlike anyone else in the industry today, and that’s why she’s been generating so much buzz. Definitely one of my favorite artists.
Kellee is an awesome new artist and great inspiration to young girls! The way she thinks and performs is so new and fresh I love it!
She’s an incredibly talented girl with great lyrics in her music! Check out her music videos if you get a chance!
She’s a very cute girl!
