It is a nice album, and he achieves his goal of making the listeners happy and inspired. but getting to the point, this album is different for R. The songs that are popular in music today have no substance, and that's how alot of the people are that listen to it. Which will help to change the music world in general, because it is in GREAT NEED of a a change. If this album does well, it may encourage him to do more things of this nature. Kelly while he is doing something POSITIVE. SO I figured I would stop being judgemental(I certainly wouldn't want anyone to judge me as I have him), and I'd support R. Then I heard that this new album was 2 cds ,1 inspirational, the other Stepping music.

But anyways,FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.When I heard "You Saved Me" on TV I rolled my eyes because, it just seems like Jesus is the popular thing to claim in the Hip-Hop R&B world at this moment and 5 minutes before hearing "U Saved me" I heard "So Sexy" by Twista feat. There were no overtly sexual songs and his throwback to the 70s with the song "You Knock Me Out" really did it for me, I love that song. Then one day I heard the CHOCOLATE FACTORY cd.and I really liked it. I have had many discussions with my friends of the past few years on how annoying R.Kelly can be always talking about the "after party, hotel lobbys, and the feeling on of various 'booties'".though we put him down for these things, you could still find us dancing to the music and singing along at times.Why ? Not only b/c we were hypocritical, but because R.Kelly has a gift for music-prouducing ,writing, arranging-you can't deny his talents, and the songs are so darn catchy. I hope this album will open the eyes of the world to the wonderful message that religious artists are hoping will one day be accepted and loved as much as the not so glorious 50 Cent thug stories.

While mainstream artists sell millions upon millions, religious artists are considered VERY lucky if they reach the 1 million mark and they consider their album a hit if they reach the 500,000 mark. In fact, most people never even enter the Christian section at music stores. With hardcore thug rap at an all time high, faith albums seem to be pushed aside and shoved into a whole different catagory of music. absolute hits, but with all the drama going on world wide it's a blessing to have this kind of CD released from a universal mainstream artist. No doubt his past hits have been just that. I'd like to see more CD's released by him without the Parental Warning sticker. But enough about ignorant people, here's my review on Happy People/U Saved Me. Obviously you really don't understand what an image change really is. Kelly is trying to change his image yet you make a statement like this. Milton, you're absolutly correct when you say "Mr. Kelly's last double-album, 1998's R., suffered from repetition and this one is no different.įirst off D.

More themes or even trimming down to a single disc would make this release stronger. EJRĬonclusion: While neither album is better or worse than the other and while no song is weak, both albums feel formulaic because of the same songs being heard over and over again. While the rest of the tracks run tepidly, "Spirit" becomes the only other highlight. plays three different people giving their testimonies unfortunately, "Prayer Changes" sounds more like "U Saved Me Part II". Kelly-penned "conversational songs" like The Isley Brothers' "Contagious", "Busted", Kelly Price's "Friend of Mine" remix or Nivea's "Laundromat", this may sound like a tired gimmick. This sung conversation between all of them contains moving lyrics but if you recall past R. Things start off interestingly with "3-Way Phone Call" (featuring Kelly Price and Kim Burrell). Happy People is designed more to play for a stepping party than to listen at home. "If I Could Make the World Dance" and the ballad "The Greatest Show on Earth" break up the sameness nicely. The title track is the highlight here and most of the other tracks follow the same formula (some even use the same beat). But if you're not from the Midwest, you'll probably think that this album sounds like a lot of "Step in the Name of Love" remixes. This album capitalizes on the "stepping" dance craze that's popular in the Midwest, moer specifically his hometown, Chicago. Kelly released two albums, Happy People and U Saved Me, so here are my views on both.
