Music reviews of R Kelly
Music Review: One Of His Best
Rating: 5 Stars
You could think that this was his first album based on the eponymous title of it, but it was his third album after "Born Into the 90's" from 1992 together with Public Announcement, althought it sounded like a R. Kelly affair all the way, and then the sexual explicit "12 Play" from 1993. This album was released in 1995 and stands as one of his best albums to date, only "12 Play" and "R" can measure with it. This is a quite easily accessible album since it doesn't follow any trend or theme, no overwhelming sexual lyrics nor a overpretentious Step album either. It got a great mix of the best, some faster songs but many wonderful tearjerking ballads aswell, infact some of the greatest R. Kelly songs are actually found here. There isn't much filler either nor any annoying hip hop collaborations like we saw on latter albums, no, "R Kelly" stands strong on it's own and as a whole this is a fantastic story of trade mark R. Kelly songs that fans would drool over.
The album starts with "Hump Bounce" that actually, based on it's name sound like it would have been on "12 play", it's a sexy midtempo with lyrics both from a woman and a rapper. A very good song. "Not Gonna Hold You" is a semi-ballad that also feautures female vocals, "You Reminds Me Of Something" stands as one of his best ballads to date, songs like this made R. Kelly one of the most promising songwriters of the 90's. "Step Into My Room", yet another laidback sexy ballad. Perhaps also better for his previous album?. "Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby" yet another laidback soulish ballad. "(You To Be) Happy" is midtempo soul.
"Down Low" is one of my favorite R. Kelly songs, it's a very poignant ballad feauturing Ron and Ernie Isley, the great video also which portraited R. Kelly in the middle of a fatal jelousy drama. "I Can't Sleep" follows the trend of slow jamz while "Thank God It's Friday" is a excellent club song, even if it's slick. "Love Is One the Way" is yet another good midtempo, "Heaven" is only a interlude but "Religious Love" shows some of his more faithful sides. "Tempo Slow" is one of the slower songs of this album, it's dreamy and meditative. Next song called "As I Look Into My Life" is also more of a interlude but "Trade My Love" closes this album well, another midtempo that is.
"R.Kelly" is one of his best albums, needless to say it captures you with it's mix of slick and sexy ballads and midtempo's and it doesn't contain much filler either. If You're new to R. Kelly start with this one or "12 Play". This album is more clean though. 5/5
