Umm what's with all the mics lol

This guy tries 2 hard.

R. Kelly has some of the most real to life lyrics. He's proven to be a Master mind in front of and behind the music scene. With the exception of what the media ran wild with, his music and choice of artists he's worked with have been on point. "Chocolate Factory" is one favorite

I ain't mad at ya. Old school soul.

This is nice.

That is all.

A throwback huh?

Nope. Still can't sing.

=0P

I'm feeling this. Finally he comes with something decent and not any of that thuggish bullshit he's been doing for the past decade!

Oh come on, "When a man loves a woman" anyone?

I have to admit,it's better than most of the crap he puts out.I like the Old School 60s R&B feel of it.

I don't hear it

But it does remind me of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and James Brown.

Damn, I really wanted to like this song. His performance feels forced, passionless and insincere. He better go back into the studio and try again. D'Angelo is gonna kick his ass.

Kick his ass for what? Hiding his crack pipe?

I just don't like this man! I can't explain it. It's not just the legal problems he had. I've "forgiven" lots of artists for stuff like that, but I just don't like him! I don't even listen to him enough to know if I like his music, although I know how popular it is. Did I say that I just don't like him? LOL

Just saying....

But i do like Kelly's song.

^^^Yes! I thought of that video immediately.

The song is OK. I'm interested in what the album will sound like though.

Everytime I listen to this R. Kelly song.. I think of this one..

is it me or does he look like jamie foxx in this one?

In the meantime, Kelly is getting ready for the release later this year of his eleventh studio album, Love Letter. The first single off the album, a soulful R&B ballad in the vein of Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye called "When A Woman Loves," drops on Sept. 7 and is already making waves. It will debut at No. 24 on Billboard's Urban Adult Contemporary chart — the most powerful debut by a male vocalist since Michael Jackson's "This Is It" debuted at No. 16 last year.

The most powerful? Can u please tell me what the means?

Did his cheap ass ever heard of HORNS?

I like the song, but the synth lines(fake horns) fucked it up for me.

Eeeeewww R Kelly, when is the man actually gonna sing about something new. Soooo boring. Same same all the time.
