MARVIN + COOKE + REDDING
R.Kelly's latest release "When A Woman Loves" places him in a setting where most GREAT performers are most comfortable, on a stage behind a microphone. Clearly channeling soul greats such as Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding, R. Kelly refreshingly croons about love in a manner rarely heard from him. This side is careful, sensitive, heartfelt...a 360 degree departure from "the VIP", "Patron shots" and "chicks in the living room" he often loves to sing about. “When A Woman Loves” could have been a hit 40 or even 50 years ago, easily. Kelly sings deep from his soul with an electrifying passion. His vocal range is fully exercised and notably impressive. He is a gifted songwriter/singer who is talented enough to stand alongside the icons of any generation. With a career marred in sex scandal, random beefs and tasteless music, I am now hopeful the upcoming album "Love Letter" and current single is a peek into an amazing future. I have a great respect for R.Kelly's work. I hope he continues to consistently create music that is worthy of his immense talent.
