R. Kelly
“Cookie” & “Genius”
Black P***ies* (out 12/3 on RCA)
I’m frankly conflicted about both of these tracks. Though they are both unquestionably fantastic boner jams, they are both a bit too reminiscent of my dude The-Dream for me to fully buy in. Production-wise, the rolling bass, heavy synths, and hi-hat patters are pure Terius, and vocally, Kellz the Great sounds quite a bit Dream-ish, especially on the propulsive former. That said, both cuts are deliriously fun and stupid in all the right ways, and a music world with hot Kellz tracks is 1000 times better than one without them.
*that word grosses me out, even to type.
“Cookie”
“Genius”
