CD Of the Week: R. Kelly "Untitled"

In a time where the recent infusion of dull medioce lyrics and slick production have come to accompany all R&B music, nobody adds innovative concepts and melodic feelings to the genre quite like R. Kelly.  His 10th Studio Album, "Untitled", covers all dimensions of the bedroom, from the intro "Crazy Night" through to the last track, "Pregnant" ft Tyrese, Robin Thicke, and The Dream, R. Kelly takes the listener from the club scene and into a bedroom adventure and back again.  Shining moments on the album are "Bangin the Headboard", the radio hit "Number One" ft Keri Hilson, "Echo", and the aforementioned 6 minute long all star ballad. This album isn't without it's weak points, the Club Hit "Supaman High" ft OJ Da Juiceman, while being a definite mover in the that environment feels somewhat out of place on the erotic adventure. All things considers, R. Kelly simply shows that through all the ups and downs, as well as a changing music scene, he is still a force to be reckoned with in R&B music.
