R Kelly\" style=\"height:200px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This album isn&#8217;t really untitled. The title is Untitled, but don&#8217;t waste your time trying to interpret some special meaning behind it. It&#8217;s apparently just a lazy artistic decision on the part of R Kelly, which doesn&#8217;t surprise me. Most of his albums have silly titles, so it&#8217;s business as usual for the crooner and in more ways than one.<\/p>\n<p>Every song has to do with sex in some way or another. Even the Religious one has him singing to a girl he&#8217;s romantically, and no doubt sexually, involved with but not married to. Perhaps he forgot that his prolific song catalogue already includes a Religious Love dedication; one that happens to sound better than this one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a &#8220;hater&#8221; though. I like R Kelly because R Kelly makes good music. After his previous two albums, I should say he&#8217;s starting to make better music again. His lack of conceptual diversity is actually part of his allure. The more shameless the lyrics are, like telling a girl to open her legs so that he can Kiss her on the lips, the better.<\/p>\n<p>The best songs are the ones with the best vocal melodies. There&#8217;s an enchanting chorus happening Elsewhere. There&#8217;s also a cool song about Text messages tequila drinkers can relate to. Go Low, on which he sings about wanting to lick a girl&#8217;s pussy and sip on the &#8220;sweet sweet water&#8221; that will presumably ooze out of it, grooves like classic R.<\/p>\n<p>All references to the Fourth Quarter of 12 Play should&#8217;ve been removed when he decided to ditch that concept, Supaman High isn&#8217;t a saver until the very end; the best part of the album is the way the beat takes the song out; and there should be a closer after the Pregnant ballad, but the girls don&#8217;t seem to mind such artistic blunders.<\/p>\n<p>my rating : 3 of 5<\/p>\n<p>2009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This album isn&#8217;t really untitled.
