Kelly Key
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Kelly Key (real name Kelly de Almeida Afonso) born March 3, 1983 in Rio de Janeiro is a Brazilian singer and teen idol.

At age 15 Kelly began dating 25 year old popular singer Latino.

Latino provided Kelly with sufficient exposure for her to land her first recording contract.

Kelly's first album selftitled 'Kelly Key', released 2001, soon went double platinum. Her first single 'Escondido' [Hidden], concerning Kelly's desire to visit a motel to copulate with her partner despite her father's objections, soon enjoyed hit status.

Baba, the album's most successful hit, concerns itself with a girl who was in love with an older guy, uninterested in her, but now that she is grown up the older man desires her, where she has now ironically lost interest in the man. The song was extremely catchy, immediately becoming a hit; however, the song sparked controversy after it was critcized for representation of pedophilic connotations. Furthermore, Kelly's first two singles comprised highly explicit sexual content; although, the albums appealed predominantly to minors. The album would later tender two more successful singles: 'Cachorrinho' [Little Dog], about a petulant man and his eventual apprehension of the reality of his relationship with his female boss, and Anjo [Angel], a ballad.

In the same year, Kelly recieved substantial exposure after appearing on the covers of various gossip magazines due to her divorce with Latino and participation in a recent Playboy exposé.

2003 saw the release of Kelly's sophomore album 'Do Meu Jeito'. Following 'Baba's' legacy, the album's first single recited Kelly's difficult relationship with a minor.

In 2005, Kelly released her second self titled album. In response to commercial demands the album explicitly targets children. The album's first single recounts a situation where Kelly's boyfriend woos her best friend; although, the album's biggest hit was the song 'Sou a Barbie Girl', a remake of Aqua's 1998 hit 'Barbie Girl'. 'Sou a Barbie Girl' reached 1 in Brazilian charts and the album went gold.
