Album Review: R Kelly - 12 Nights Of Christmas

"The perfect gift."

More R Kelly More R Kelly

No, this isn't the strangest release we've gotten from R Kelly over the years.

That would be Trapped In The Closet, but this definitely comes close. But hey, if (almost) everyone else is allowed a Christmas album, why shouldn't Kelly, who's unquestionably one of the greatest? All the songs on this million-seller are originals, thank Christmas, so that we get stuff like Mrs Santa Claus ("The year I make holiday love to you"), The Greatest Gift ("I wanna unwrap you") and Flyin' On My Sleigh ("I'm gonna fill your stocking with sweet things"). The perfect gift.
