R. Kelly has dubbed his next album Untitled, and he is eyeing an October 13 release date for the new work. He offered a preview on Monday night at his Chicago home to friends, MTV News and a few other media outlets, and it sounds like the new album follows Kelly's usual themes of love and sensuality.
"By the grace of God, I'm still here doing it big," Kelly told his guests, according to MTV. "I'm trying to get back on top of that mountain and roar like the Lion King."
Kelly debuted the video for his new single, "Number One," with Keri Hilson, and also played one of his favorite new tracks, "Exit," which he co-produced with Jazze Pha. "I can't leave this club without you girl, you deserve an encore," he sings, accompanied by a piano. At times he incorporates a do-re-mi-type flow, MTV reported. Another Kelly favorite is "Echo," in which he actually yodels, and "Elsewhere" is a break-up/make-up ballad.
In conjunction with Untitled, the singer will launch the Ladies Make Some Noise! tour on October 8 in Connecticut. Tickets for the 36-date outing go on sale starting August 22. The trek is scheduled to wrap on December 8 in St. Louis.
