Wanderland is the second album by R&B artist Kelis, released in 2001 (see 2001 in music).

Kelis was living in Europe at the time and it was first released in Europe. The album was more experimental than the previous album and was a modest success chart-wise. According to Kelis, her American record company Virgin at the time did not like the Wanderland album. The record executives at Virgin felt the album material didn't have a strong enough singles and therefore did not release in the United States. [1] Kelis did return to the United States later on where she fell in love with and later married Nas.

The album only spawned one single, "Young, Fresh n' New", which became her third solo top 40 hit in the UK. Unfortunately though, the single was not a particularly big hit elsewhere.

Despite the album only being a moderate success, two tracks featured on Wanderland went on to be used elsewhere. "Flash Back" (re-titled "Flashback") was featured on her third album Tasty and a new version of "Popular Thug", which replaced Pusha T from Clipse with Nas, was featured on The Neptunes' album The Neptunes Presents... Clones.
