R. Kelly, the disgraced R&B singer currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, has managed to release a new album, provocatively titled "I Admit It."
The 13-song album, credited to Kelly as the main writer with "D. Johnson" as producer," covers usual Kelly terrain on tracks like "I Got It" and "Good Old Days" until the final three tracks, a 19-minute long triptych where he "confesses" to relationships with fans and straying on a partner, while obliquely acknowledging and protesting his long, sordid list of sex crime convictions.
"They're brainwashed, really? Kidnapped, really? Can't eat, really? Real talk, that s— sound silly," he sings on one song, referring to testimony that he ran what amounted to a sex cult.
