R. Kelly Announces Christmas Project ’12 Nights of Christmas’ for 2014

Posted on December 11th, 2013 by ThisIsRnB in NEWS |

R. Kelly just released his new album Black Panties this week, but the R&B genius is already hard at work on new music.  In addition to his next studio album, which he is already working on, Kellz revealed his plans to release a classic holiday album entitled ‘12 Nights of Christmas.’

Speaking with Rap-Up TV recently, Robert explained that he started recording the album last year, but doesn’t plan to release it until 2014. “I started it last Christmas actually, but I don’t believe in just putting out a Christmas album just to sell records. It has to be the next ['This Christmas']. In order to get that and capture that moment, you have to take a couple of Christmases and then you come with it.”

In the meantime, he released one of his new holiday songs called “Christmas I’ll Be Steppin’” on The Best Man Holiday soundtrack.

He also revealed that he has seven or eight albums worth of material waiting to be released including the follow-up to Black Panties. “My next album is halfway written already,” revealed Kellz. “It’s gonna be another 12 Play album. It’s gonna be that type of album because there’s been a lovemaking album drought…and I’ve come to save the day.”

R. Kelly took R&B to the trap house on his latest single “Cookie,” off his new album Black Panties. But, you won’t find Kellz shooting the video in the hood, instead he brought the hood to a giant mansion, which he rented to film the upcoming visuals, and now he is giving fans a inside look at the making of the video.

The self-proclaimed “Cookie Monster” is throwing the sexiest party of the year, as he filled the estate with tons of beautiful ladies wearing nothing but lingerie. Kellz relaxes in his luxurious office smoking a cigar, while girls rub all over him in one scene. In another he pours milk into a bath tub while singing about “licking the middle like an Oreo.”

“I got all kinds of cookies up in here, they’re round, they’re square, they’re triangle, some of them are heart shaped, some of them are people shaped, beautiful women shaped cookies,” explained R. Kelly.

A man of musical genius and class! R. Kelly visited ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ last night to promote his new album ‘Black Panties’ due out December 10.

However, as the world mourns the loss of Nelson Mandela, Kellz gave a heartfelt tribute with a performance of “Soldiers Heart,” which he wrote and performed for Mandela in his living room in 2010.

“I’m just blessed to know that I walked in his presence,” said Robert. “He was a spirit walking and being around him inspired me to even go further in my life, in my walk, and my career. He’s just an incredible power.”

In addition to his tribute, he reenacted a press conference while performing his Black Panties cut “Shut Up” and closed out the show with a stirring rendition of “When A Woman Loves.”

During the interview, he shared his preference for panties or thongs (“If you wear thongs, you might as well have your ass just out”), broke down his lyrics about Oreos and black holes, and revealed which artists he’s listening to.

Plus, he improvised by serenading two ladies using the words Frosted Flakes, relish, and ketchup.

Watch the R&B genius’ tribute and interview below!
