Kumi’s back, and she’s come swinging back into her usual sexy fashion, proving there’s still one audience willing to overcome her dish on the amniotic sac: The homosexuals!

For her latest video for “TABOO, a rather fantastic Timbaland clone full of throbbing, noisy synths, Kumi makes her way into the middle of a trendy gay bar. Skin-tight clothing, luscious lips, and plenty of suggestive bend-and-snaps all add up to yet another fabulously over-the-top raunch fest ripe for adding to the Kumi videography. Get it, girl.
