Heaven I Need A Hug

R. Kelly

Zomba/Jive

WE SAY

(No soundclip today) - This should be the follow-up to the #1 single Ignition. It's from the shelved Loveland album and features on the bonus disk with the current album. Lyrically it's either incredibly brave or stupid. Musically it's faultless - one of the best tracks of recent times. Whatever else is going on in his life, he's making some of the best music of his brilliant career.
