    Released: October 22, 2001

Wanderland is the second studio album by American R&B singer Kelis, released in October 2001 (see 2001 in music) on Virgin Records.

Kelis was living in Europe at the time of the album's release. Wanderland was more experimental than her previous album, Kaleidoscope, and was a modest success chartwise. According to Kelis, her American record company Virgin at the time did not like the Wanderland album. The record executives from Virgin felt the album's material didn't have strong enough singles and therefore did not release in the United States,[1] being limited to Europe, Asia, and Latin America only.

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

Despite the album only being a moderate success, two tracks from Wanderland went on to be used elsewhere. "Flash Back" (retitled "Flashback") made her third album Tasty and a new version of "Popular Thug", which replaced Pusha T of Clipse with Nas, was featured on The Neptunes' 2003 album The Neptunes Present... Clones.
