R. Kelly — Double Up

in
By Cheryl Thompson (CHARTattack) July 31, 2007 9:37 am
After TP-3 tanked, R. Kelly probably realized he needed to move in a new direction. But instead of reaching inside for something fresh, he's providing us with Double Up, an album that's part R&B but mostly crunk hip-hop. Since Kelly is neither from the south nor a rapper, the album feels all wrong. The title track (featuring Snoop Dogg) is...

R. Kelly — TP.3 Reloaded

in
By Cheryl Thompson (CHARTattack) July 12, 2005 3:00 pm
It's hard to predict what R. Kelly's next move will be, and his TP.3 Reloaded is about as unpredictable as you can get. On "Playa's Only," the first track off TP.3, Kelly teams up with The Game, who is one song away from becoming the next Pharrell — everybody and their sister wants to do a duet with him. As the album progresses, Kelly...

R. Kelly featuring Keri Hilson — "Number One"

This is the first single from R. Kelly's upcoming new album, Untitled, which is due out this fall. Unsurprisingly, it's about sex, and it features Kelly crooning to Hilson over the radio. Prepare to be astounded by Kelly's yodelling skills. (That was sarcasm.)

During an interview last week with You Say Party! We Say Die!, the quintet from Abbotsford, BC was stunned by the fact that I'd never seen R. Kelly's video for "Real Talk." Holy crap. At the time, I felt kind of silly, like back in junior high when I didn't have the awesome sneakers that the cool kids had, but after seeing the damned...

Now that R. Kelly is no longer trapped in the closet, the R&B star is set to Double Up. That's the title of the singer's new album, which will be released on May 29 by Jive. The artist (real name Robert Sylvester Kelly) has gained as much attention for the various lawsuits and criminal charges brought against him as he has from his music in...

R. Kelly — Happy People/U Saved Me

in
By CHARTattack Staff August 31, 2004 2:55 pm
R. Kelly could sing about income tax and still make it sound like sex. And it wouldn’t be surprising if he did. Kelly’s best asset is his ability to convert the ordinary into something relatable that one can dance to, or worship to, depending on what side of his lush new club/gospel double-disc you play. On Happy People, the singer summons the...

R. Kelly — TP2.com

in
By Debbie Bento (CHARTattack) November 7, 2000 10:41 am
Smooth, R&B that goes down like fine wine. Kelly is the master of slow jams, but on this record the sultry sappiness is gone and replaced by a Marvin Gaye-ish vibe that is second-to-none when compared to other R&B artists. This record will do extremely well seeing as the lead-off single, "I Wish," is getting terrific airplay. The...
