The last couple of weeks this year had some nice albums come out (or about to drop).
Here’s a quick round-up -
R KELLY – LOVE LETTER
Kells’ latest studio album is produced by his damn self, with just one feature. He abandons the hiphop this time around to focus on what he does best R&B. Great record. And don’t frown at him covering MJ’s classic YOU ARE NOT ALONE. R Kelly wrote and produced that for Mike, so if anyone has the right to remake that, it’s the R…
DIDDY/DIRTY MONEY – LAST TRAIN TO PARIS
Puff Daddy is back with his fifth album, this time joined by Dirty Money, the real stars are the trackmakers on this album tho. Great instrumentals from Danja and Polow Da Don, among others…
KERI HILSON – NO BOYS ALLOWED
Zone 4/MMG’s songstress Keri Hilson’s new album has more of a poppish lean than her last album, but great songs on there courtesy of Polow, Timbaland and Danja, among others…
JAMIE FOXX – BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE
Jamie Foxx’s third is another solid effort keeping in line with the hiphop/r&b pattern. Fave track on there is FREAK feat. Rico Love
MICHAEL JACKSON – MICHAEL
Say what you will, this is probably the only way people are gonna get to hear the unrelased MJ stuff. I’m still waiting on some unrealeased R Kelly and Devanté Swing production, but for now the Teddy Riley contributions do just fine.
KEYSHIA COLE – CALLING ALL HEARTS
My fave KC album of the three she’s released, standout song is LAST HANGOVER feat. Timbaland
