Perhaps R. Kelly's brushes with the law have caused him to turn down his love light, since his seventh album <I>Chocolate Factory</I> takes scrupulous pains to show an idealized high-minded face of love, eschewing his usual steamy cocktail of raunchy lust and replacing it with a sweet, winsome romanticism. "I'll Never Leave," is a wistful valentine, while "The Heart of a Woman," is embarrassingly empathetic to the plight of the feminine kind and is hardly the kind of fare that one expects from Marvin Gaye's heir apparent. Despite his real life racy escapades, Kelly is at his best musically when he's an unrepentant bad boy but he doesn't even show any grit until "Been Around the World," his confessional duet with a rasping Ja Rule, the fretful bluesy "You Made Me Love You," and "Ignition," a paean to parking. Despite "Ignition"'s first line, "Girl, please let me stick my key in your ignition, babe" it's rather tame by the standards Kelly has set on his earlier discs. "Chocolate Factory" also includes 6 bonus tracks from <I>Loveland</I> the album that was slated for a 2002 release, but was ostensibly shelved after it was rampantly bootlegged on the Internet. Despite the disc's soft focus, Kelly is at the height of his vocal powers, and once he weans himself from the gooey sentimentality and returns to his persona of a smooth seductive operator he'll once again be an artist to be reckoned with. <I>--Jaan Uhelszki</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Step In The Name Of Love.......2007-01-10

The CD itself is very nice and ROMANTIC. R. Kelly put his heart and soul into this cd, you have to listen to it.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2006-12-27

This was a great CD. I loved every song. It is worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Without doubt R. Kelly's strongest & best disc vocally .......2006-12-10

Chocolate Factory is without doubt the strongest and best disc R. Kelly has ever done. Chocolate Factory not only returned Kelly to his SANGING roots but it also showed his growth as an artist at his creative peak. The first five tracks takes the listener on a musical journey that touches on everything from the beauty of a woman, stepping and aploiges. Other strong ballads include the marriage themed Forever and the sentimental Dream Girl. There's also the sexy ballad Imagine That which is text book R.Kelly and the HUGE single Igniton and it's remix. R. Kelly has yet to top this disc but hoepfully one day he will.

This is one of my favourite R Kelly cd's (and I have them all). It's so tight and full of great songs. There are a lot of slow and romantic jams but there are also the funky songs that he does so well. My favourite songs are I'll Never Leave, Step In The Name Of Love, Snake and of course Ignition. This guy is such a genius and the album truly reflects his talent for songwriting and singing. I love hearing Showdown with Ronald Isley. The two of them together are fantastic.
This is a solid cd full of great music and if you are a fan of his, it's a must for your collection. Take a listen to it; it's brilliant and certainly one of his best cds.
