It’s been a tough few years commercially for singer R. Kelly. Indeed, the R&B pioneer has seen his recent releases sell way less than his more successful efforts of yesteryear.

In any case, he’s back with the Bangladesh produced ‘Tongues’ (which is said to feature on his upcoming new album). Take a listen to the Ludacris assisted cut after the jump…

Putting to one side the potentially disrespectful “hail Mary full of grace” intro, this one goes hard. Though not Kelly’s best material by a long shot, with ‘Tongues’ he serves up a somewhat fresh track (particularly on the production tip), one which should put back in good stead with Urban radio.

Hit or Miss?
