TP-2.Com

From the man who gave us one of the biggest gospel-inspired hits of the 1990's in 'I Believe I Can Fly', comes another classy collection of soulful grooves, infectious club jams and R&B ballads.

The Parental Guidance sticker on the cover of TP-2.com makes sense right from the off. The title track is nothing more than a blow-by-blow account of Mr Kelly's sexual prowess e.g "I'm about to take you for a ride, feel it come inside... it's as hard as a brick" – you get the picture?

He continues in this X-rated vein for much of the album's 19 tracks, which he wrote and produced in their entirety. Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On' is the clear inspiration behind slinky, seductive ballads like 'Strip For You', 'The Greatest Sex', 'Don't Say No' and 'R&B Tug' ("Feel a knot down in my pants while you breaking me off with a lap dance").

The action is not all conducted between the sheets however and Kelly's subject matter includes more social commentary than most in the genre. The current single 'I Wish' is an emotional tribute to lost loved ones. 'A Women's Threat' is intended as a remorseful statement to all the brothers out there who have done their women wrong.

Despite his lack of modesty which borders on the narcissistic (See 'The Real R Kelly') he has a powerful, expressive voice in the old school tradition and his soulful credentials come to the fore on the soaring ballad 'I Don't Mean It'.

Not for the faint hearted or the sexually repressed then, TP-2.Com is one of the better r’n’b albums of recent times.
