R. Kelly For The Woman's Soul

-
For nearly 20 years, R. Kelly has wrote and produced many hits not only for himself but a host of female artists. At one time he was simply known for the songs he solely wrote and produced for females; many of them becoming anthems in their own rights. Check out some of those songs below!

Blaque - 808
I remember when I first heard this song and learning that R.Kelly wrote it, I wasn't surprised. I know R. Kelly has a particular style of writing but I do like how this song was written.

Truth Hurts - The Truth
R. Kelly produced this underrated gem from Truth Hurts' debut album, Truthfully Speaking in which he also shares guest vocals. I like the thumping beat here and the lyrics of course which signal R. Kelly as the King of ghetto soul.

Nivea - Laundromat
Being label mates with R. Kelly has its perks. He is likely to produce a cut for your album. That was the case for Nivea when he wrote and produced, "Laundromat". When the song was released as a single, it was during R. Kelly's infamous molestation trial. The song however did peak at #20 on the R&B charts.

Britney Spears - Outrageous
Like Nivea, Britney Spears was also label mates with R. Kelly. Still, it was surprising when it was revealed that R. Kelly [wrote and]produced "Outrageous" for Brit's "In The Zone" album.

Sparkle - Be Careful
R. Kelly's protege' hit it big with her debut single which featured R. Kelly on vocals. The song was a memorable song back in the summer of 1998. Sparkle's debut album is a favorite of mine and one I manage to dust off and play every once in awhile.

Changing Faces - G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.
R. Kelly had produced many songs for Changing Faces during their brief time together but this is perhaps one of their most popular and one of my favorites.

Toni Braxton - I Don't Want To
R. Kelly penned an emotional and melancholy track for Braxton which appeared on her Secrets album. The video featured Toni simply in a wife beater and jeans.

Whitney Houston - I Look To You
The title track from Whitney Houston's new album is very preachy and it is a song that a lot of my co-workers sing at work; playfully. Whitney Houston revealed that R. Kelly wrote the song for her 10 years ago. Can you believe that?

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
