R. Kelly Still Steamy On New Song Leaks

R. Kelly doesn't spare any bedroom tales on a host of new songs leaked online this week, although it's unclear if they are intended to appear on his next Jive album, "12 Play 4th Quarter."

However, a spokesperson says the leak has jump-started the promo push for the project, due in the fourth quarter, and that Kelly is shooting a video for confirmed album track "Skin" this weekend.

On leaked tracks like "Screamer," "At the Same Time" and "Two Seater," Kelly regales the listener with salacious tales that conjure up 1993's original "12 Play" album.

The vocoder-led "Screamer" finds the singer describing a secret sex session in a crowded house while trying his best not to alert his company. On "At The Same Time," Kelly croons about reaching his carnal goals over guitar plucks and a double bass drum. Reclaiming his rapping skills on "Two Seater," Kelly bounces over the cut's electronic bops and screwed-up chorus while reminding fans of his financial stature.

The new album's first official single, "Hair Braider," stalled at No. 56 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this spring, in the midst of Kelly's trial and subsequent acquittal on child pornography charges.

Kelly's last album, 2007's "Double Up," has moved 946,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

WTF!!!!!!! So this ain't the album

Lol now this is what I call promo. Leaking a dozen songs. But it's a good strategy because people are most certainly talking about it.

^Im gonna quit speculatin now, cuz I dont feel any closer to what's really going down with this whole situation!

ill tell ya i love these songs he put out, but i new there was something missing. i think some of these songs will be on the album and some wont. he will have about 3-5 songs that we have not heard and some will come from this. i just hope its fire!!! because i cant wait

but really WTF is going on is this his cd or not!!!!!! cause kells is throwin everybody through a loop on this one.

I'm not complaining. He just gave us a whole album for free, and now we are finding out that there will be more coming soon, very good day!

i don't care if they're on the NEW album or not...i have them now and i love it.

hahahahaha. i need that Strip for you remix. if he adds that to the official i will be even more satisfied.

Hell yeah^^^ and that After 17 Years (Somebody's Calling Me) song that would make a hell of a intro. I keep finding myself go back to youtube to watch that.

I think it was a great article. short and to-the-point, and the main reason is there was NO HATING!
