R. Kelly - 12 Play
Tuesday 06 July 2010
Although dubious of lyric, 12 Play still sounds contemporary and frequently surprising.
Although he’d made his debut proper backed by Public Announcement the previous year, on the album Born Into the ‘90s, R. Kelly’s first solo affair 12 Play was a quantum leap stylistically and production-wise, setting out his manifesto as love-man par excellence. Although there are still traces of his former straight-ahead RnB, 12 Play broke new ground, with his wistful blend of classic soul beats, G-funk and new jack swing.
