Already the same theme song "Love Letter", the album is opened, presents the retreaded R. Kelly, who can build easily with a soulful, but also pleasantly lilting love song to his big day. A little later in the tracklist there is still a Christmas edition of the song, which, however, differs only slightly from the original. Eerie smooth and still very emotional - without drifting off into kitsch - it's the same with "Number One hit" continue. Equipped with a nice groove and even more beautiful piano accompaniment of singers from Chicago running again to peak performance and makes us the disappointing previous album "Untitled" almost forgotten completely again. Relaxed and funky swings "Just Can not Get Enough" in our hearing, and although "Love Letter" already appeared as early as December, this Jam is his positive sound perfect for the upcoming summer days now. Anyone who thinks that the old stallion R. Kelly completely waived his dirty talk, which will be taught with "Taxi Cab" a better country, where you have to say also that it happens here tastier than last. Musically offers us "Taxi Cab" a mix of powerful rock and something softer sounds which alternate repeatedly.
"Radio Message" is likely to represent the biggest highlight of "Love Letter". The roots in the Motown era are more than tangible, and that we meet a countless instruments stocked and very fresh track that not a bit frumpy to come off despite the 60's styles, but simply thrilled. In a similar notch suggests the following "When A Woman Loves", held albeit much slower and more romantic. The only commentary we get on "Love Is" to hear specifically from the little-known K. Michelle. In "Love Is" is simply a good mood song whose buoyant melodies you simply can not escape and is forced almost in time to go with. The final phase of "Love Letter" it can tackle the pacing significantly reduced. Starting with the extreme Slow Jam "Music Must Be A Lady", completed with the sad "How Do I Tell Her?", Which can again lather the feelings so right. As a hidden bonus, we find a cover version of Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone", which was known at the time written and produced by R. Kelly. Whether this addition was really necessary, it is doubtful, however, because as I said it is just a bonus, this has a not particularly on the rest of "Love Letter" from.
Change of heart at the right time you can only say. All R. Kelly has done wrong with his last albums, he does with "Love Letter" once again more than just correct. Great sound, beautiful lyrics and produces everything itself - so we want to hear it from the R & B legend. In his great works "12 Play", "R." or "TP-2.com" he is indeed not quite approach, but is also not far from, which is why "Love Letter" can put not only R. Kelly fans, but all Soul-lovers to the heart.
