Surviving’s immediate impact was profound, heightening calls to boycott the singer and prompting prosecutors to invite witnesses and victims of the singer to come forward. The series, produced by filmmaker dream hampton, first debuted in 2019, shining a renewed spotlight on Kelly and the network of on-payroll enablers who helped him get away with some 30 years of abuse, including marrying a teenage Aaliyah in the ’90s and his notorious acquittal in his 2008 child-pornography case. Kelly - the Peabody Award–winning docuseries chronicling the R&B singer’s decades of sex crimes, many of them against Black women and girls in his hometown of Chicago - aired on Lifetime this week. Kelly has become at constructing that music.The third and final installment of Surviving R.

Kelly says one thing he is the best at is “making music.” Untitled is another example of just how skilled R. Untitled, was originally titled, 12 Play, 4th Quarter, but was leaked online and re-recorded. Kelly’s sincere vocals mesh well with Keri’s sassy tone making it a heart-to-heart piece. The song was his highest charting since “Same Girl,” from Double Up, released two years ago. Kelly jives with Keri Hilson over a self-produced rhythm. “Number One,” is a winning collaboration as R. Kelly says “she’s more than a mistress/I’m about to handle business/I’m gonna put that girl in my kitchen.” The song is one of R. There are satin sheet touches in the song as R. Kelly as they each describe a woman they’ve met. Robin Thicke, The Dream, and Tyrese join R. The shining star on Untitled is “Pregnant,” that will undoubtedly become a quiet storm groove in the near future. Kelly an R & B master, the song is Untitled’s shortest and one of the most memorable of the collection for its howling organ and trembling piano. “Religious,” Untitled’s third single, is a testimonial as R. Kelly does not strive to make stepping jams on Untitled as he did on Chocolate Factory, and Happy People though “I Love The DJ,” comes close as a fast paced retro song and “Be My #2,” a throwback to 70’s disco with its funk riffs, trumpet backdrop, and wacky synthesizer movements.
