Free Music Notes for Double Up
Free Music Review: Gotta luv Kellz
Hit: 4 Stars
I received this CD as a birthday gift. While it's not the R'uh I am used to hearing crooning out lusty slow ballads it's a welcome change. Had I not gotten it as a gift I definitely would have purchased it.

THIS ALBUM SHOWED AND EXCELLENT REVIEW IN THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC THAT R KELLY CAN PRODUCEFree Music Review: He sinks into mediocrity
Hit: 3 Stars
One of the most versatile, creative and talented artists of this generation is Robert Kelly. Foremost, he has been apart of the music business for over fifteen years and is still very relevant. Too, there have been many male singers who have come and gone within the fifteen-plus years he has been known, but, sadly, they have come and gone. Not only is he one of the most successful talents within the last several years, but he is also a noted producer. He has produced hits for Celine Dion, Lil' Bow Wow, Janet Jackson and himself, just to name a few. His albums are usually decent at least, and "Double Up" falls into the decent category. This is an okay effort, but if one were to compare it to the superb "Chocolate Factory" or the solid "TP2.com", they would find that this album doesn't even truly compare to the two. Some of the production sound like throwaways from his previous works, the lyrics are good at best, and the cohesiveness is decent.
"I'm a Flirt", "Same Girl" and "Real Talk" are easily the album's best tracks, the first two mentioned were released to radio and received moderate success. This album has its ups and downs, but the only classic material here is "I'm a Flirt" and many would not consider that a classic, however, with its infectious beat, memorable hook and cocky lyrics, I consider it a classic and one of his better songs to date. The piano in this song is reminiscent of Elton John and it is really a musical work of art. "Leave Your Name" and "Double Up" are good tracks, but not memorable. In "Leave Your Name", Kelly is letting all his women know that he is too drunk to answer their calls, but if they leave a message, he will get back to them. The production is very basic but the lyrics are truly amusing for this slow tempoed track. Guest appearances include Nelly, Snoop Dogg, TI and T Pain. They all did well and added flavor to tha album.
I liked some of the material here but some of it was very corny and some was just plain laughable. I recommend this album to those who love R. Kelly, but no one else. There are three really nice songs, but the rest? After you hear them one time you'll forget all about them.
