    Creatively, R. Kelly came a long way since 1992. The Chicago singer started out his career with catchy, if conventional, new jack swing, but as the '90s progressed, he evolved into one of more interesting, risktaking male singers in urban contemporary and neosoul. It would be a stretch to say that Kelly is in a class with Al Green, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye he's a product of a different generation and a different era, and he needs to be evaluated on his own hiphopminded terms rather than '60s or '70s terms (even though he has plenty of '60s and '70s influences). But it's no exaggeration to say that some of Kelly's work has been excellent, including many of the songs on The R. in RB Collection, Vol. 1 a bestof release that paints a generally favorable picture of the Chicagoan by focusing on his more essential recordings. Many of Kelly's wellknown hits are provided, and they range from "You Remind Me of Something" and "Bump n' Grind" to "I Believe I Can Fly," "Down ...Low (Nobody Has to Know)," and "I'm Your Angel" (the singer's unlikely duet with Celine Dion). Spanning 19922003, the collection shows how much Kelly evolved during that 11year period. The thing that ties many of these songs together from the Guyish new jack swing number "She's Got That Vibe" in 1992 to "Fiesta" in 2000 is hiphop, which has always been an integral part of the singer's output. Vol. 1 isn't the last word on Kelly's output; some major hits are missing, and the Vol. 1 part of the title implies that a Vol. 2 is needed. But for the novice or casual listener who wants to have many of Kelly's hits in the same place, Vol. 1 serves its purpose nicely. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide Read more Less

R. Kelly

Urban RB producer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter R. Kelly and his supporting band Public Announcement began recording in 1992 at the tail end of the new jack swing era, yet he was able to keep much of its sound alive while remaining commercially successful.
