this album is so great! title track is my favorite thing he's done in years. lots of these songs sound like they should be hit singles -- wonder if any of them will succeed, or are they too out of step with the times?
― swvl, Friday, 24 December 2010 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link
too out of step methinks ;_;
the stretch from "taxi cab" --> "radio message" --> "when a woman loves" --> "love is" is just one of the best things i've heard all year, just absolutely stunning
― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Friday, 24 December 2010 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, that run is incredible. love the way the first four tracks flow, too. very well sequenced lp.
― swvl, Friday, 24 December 2010 18:41 (thirteen years ago) link
"radio message" is so cheesy and so great
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Friday, 31 December 2010 19:18 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't necessarily love this yet but I like it. have only had a few listens though. his voice sounds great, some of the material doesn't grab me as much as the rest. "Taxi Cab" is my favorite so far even if it is a bit incongruous with the rest.
― O'Shea the Cubeman (San Te), Friday, 31 December 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i like how "taxi cab" is one of the four or whatever mj tributes on the album but is secretly the best of them by avoiding the obvious/kinda played out off the wall/thriller moves and going for angsty bad-era balladry "dirty diana"-style
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Friday, 31 December 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
first half is great, (as said before obviously) 2nd half doesn't interest me at all. the MJ tributes are sweet, i think he sounds more like MJ than Jackson on that new fake album.

OLDHAM: Seven days on a boat . . .
KELLY: I met some interesting people. I met this lady, man. She reminded me of the lady from Titanic [1997]. She had written Broadway plays. She was, like, 81. But she was actually living on this boat.
OLDHAM: She had a suite?
KELLY: Yeah, she had a suite and she just traveled. But one night she got on the piano and started to play and we sat and drank and talked. Her spirit was unbeliev able. White lady. Martha something . . . Unbelievable lady. She took me back to her room and wanted me to meet her husband. Me and my guys all went. We had a ball on that boat, man.

I need to read his new memoir:
"As the film credits started to roll, I couldn't move. I burst into tears. People walking past me patted me on the back, trying to console me. 'The Notebook' was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together.
But I was also crying because I remembered a Valentine's Day -- when a helicopter dropped a rainfall of roses -- that had come and gone ... My marriage had died. And there was nothing I could do to bring it back."
A rainfall of roses!

This underage sex cult news has been around for years btw... Back in 2013 there was an article on villagevoice of how R Kelly had a large amount of civil and criminal lawsuits that have been filed by girls aged 13-16 that he has been acquitted for by the justice system or settled out of court for (presumably) large sums of money and how allegedly Kelly had the girls recruit other girls their age (13-16) and had sex with many of them. Sad it took so many years to confirm the story.

Kelly supports the pro-women goals of the Time’s Up movement. We understand criticizing a famous artist is a good way to draw attention to those goals—and in this case, it is unjust and off-target.
