Uh, Oh, R. Kelly is officially should officially be considered a grown, mature adult; I think.  R. Kelly’s album “Write Me Back” has an old-fashioned, teeny-bopper, 50’s feel at times but at the same time, it’s 2012 relevant.  Who knew you could do that?  Not a bad observation at all.  I love it.  It’s sophisticated and a great relief from the top 40 R&B/Hip-Hop Charts today.  You know, when every song portrays a woman as a b*tch and all the guys want to do is have sex with no commitment.  Don’t judge me; I’m still a man.

 
I think I even heard a little Ron Isley on the track “Green Light.”  You have definitely graduated in any music genre when you have a music heavyweight sing YOUR backup vocals.  Speaking of musical legends, I hear quite a bit of Smokey Robinson in R. Kelly’s voice which is almost indiscernible at times.  The album is definitely solid.  Unfortunately, until my review, I did not hear a single from R. Kelly from this album.  Not saying that he didn’t have one.  But everyone in media/entertainment knows that marketing will make or break a project.  Does anyone else know that R. Kelly has come out with a new album?  Now, I listen to Top 40 Adult Contemporary and Hip-Hop/R&B radio stations the most.  I haven’t heard a peep.  Things that make you go hmmm…
