If you can't get enough of the "Chocolate Factory" don't worry as the cd comes with a bonus one. There are also inclusions for Fat Joe and long time collabarator the fantastic Ronald Isley, with "Showdown".
Ja Rule appears on "Been Around the world", a personal track but nothing really special, and due to the fact that I cannot see any appeal in Ja Rule it doesn't make great listening for me.īig Tigger is on the second single "Snake" which I would identify as the weakest track on the album. There are a few collabarations as usual with R Kelly. Other notable tracks are, "Dream Girl" & "Forever" which again gives us some of the best lyrical stuff R Kelly has done for quite a while. With his voice that sounds like its been through a lot, it makes me stop what i'm doing every time. My personal Favourite track is "Forever More" which is one of the best love songs i've heard in many a year. Its a beautifully written feel good track with amazing vocals from the man who put the R in RnB. Voted 2003 best song in Blues & Soul magazine, its not hard to see why. But the killer track is "Step in the name of love" both the orginal and the remix. Obviously everyone knows "Ignition (remix)" which was the first single which went straight to number one both in the UK and US charts. Its mellow yes, but the tracks are of such high quality.
For over 10 years he has been making music which is nothing short of amazing. If you think you like RnB/Soul but only listen to the likes of Justin and Beyonce then maybe this isn't for you as its more of a grown up album. With new album "Happy People" due for release in a few months I thought i'd look back at R Kelly's last studio album - Chocolate Factory.
