R. Kelly Discusses “White Panties,” The “Black Panties” Sequel & Hopes For Collaborative Album With Mary J. Blige

    R. Kelly says that he is working on a sequel to Black Panties, his 2013 album.

    “It’s called White Panties,” R. Kelly says during an interview with V Magazine. “And you can expect a whole other level.”

    The Chicago-based singer-songwriter says that the thematic direction of Black Panties was a result of feedback from his fans. 

    “Everyone has been asking me when I’m going to do another baby-making album, because that’s what started me out,” he says. “I’ve been all around the world musically, in every genre. I can write ‘I Believe I Can Fly,’ and I can write ‘Bump N’ Grind.’ Now is the time to bring it back around. “

    R. Kelly also says he is crafting material for tourmate Mary J. Blige.

    “I’m in the studio right now working on a song for me and Mary,” he says. “I’m even looking forward to proposing that we do a whole album together. But this is the first I’ve mentioned it. The King & Queen album.”

    R. Kelly and Mary J. Blige announced in December that they would be embarking upon the King & Queen tour. An itinerary for the tour has yet to be announced.

    1. I was very disapointed with this last album R Kelly released, it was 100% wack this guy has to much talent to release such filth and garbage

    2. black panties is the worst kells album yet. i hope white panties won’t be following the same formula…

    3. Awwwwwwwww pisssssssss, there is so much untapped potential here. Urineloads of unused colors in front of the word panties, and they all can be used as the name of a mediocre album. Black Panties, White Panties, Blue Panties, Soiled Panties. You can see where I’m going with this, I just love panties.
