New Song: R. Kelly – ‘Echo’

Published: Friday 30th Oct 2009 by Trent

While his collaborative effort with Keri Hilson, ‘Number One’, failed to escalate pass #68 on the Billboard Hot 100, another song from R&B crooner R. Kelly has surfaced. The track, ‘Echo’, will feature on his upcoming album ‘Untitled’ which hits stores on December 1st.

This song is the business! As an advocate of ‘grown and sexy’ R&B, I have been wondering when Robert was going to drop a track like this to make me feel that familiar tingle in my spine. Vocally, lyrically and melodically sound from start to finish, this song has the potential to be a major hit across all formats. Artists like The-Dream and Ne-Yo have captured a lot of Kelly’s fanbase over the last couple of years, but, judging by this, the captain has finally come back to reclaim his ship. *Round of applause*

Hit or Miss?

    u only mention dat it didnt break the top 67 of billboard hot 100 yet u dont mention that it has peaked at the top 10 on the billboard hiprnb chart.. the truth is the song is a moderate success. the song resurected his career. echo is also gud

    Real R&B is back

    Back to his best on this one.
    R. Kelly is finally doing him again and not following trends..

    Not impressed…Is it me or has R. jocked The Dream’s sound. ‘Echo’ sounds an awful lot like a Dream cut to me…and a mediocre one at that.

    Here’s the problem as I see it with R. Kelly…this guy has done it all. He’ s been the babymaker, the consummate performer, the inspirational artist, the R&B thug, the dance man, the social conscience guy..the everything. It’s going to be really hard for Kelly to find a niche that he hasn’t done to death. I think right now Kells is sounding tired. His last two albums have been ridiculously under-par. IMO, he hasn’t delivered really since “The Chocolate Factory”.

    This song is just another in a long line as of late of the legend jocking the newbee sound, not the other way around. Kelly needs to recalibrate his career and sound, because the R&B lover man is being done by too many male artists today, and this song does nothing but ‘echo’ that nonsense.

    Good Aftenoon:
    I can say this is the right one that we need from again. if you don’t like a song just don’t listen to it. stop being so negative about things.

    WOW.
    This sounds like Keri’s Alienated combined with Bey’s Halo.
    I like though! ;D

    Y are u fools claiming Kellz sound like the Dream. Remember it was Kellz who is the father of this new R&B stuff. This man is the most gifted R&B performer in the history of music, from the production, lyrics and creativity noone does it better. What other artist has been in the gane as long as him and still layn down hits? (NONE)

    I DON’T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAYS KELLS IS THE TRUE KING OF R&B. THIS SONG SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THE DREAM. YOU GOTTA KEEP IN MIND KELLS HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE 90’S. SO IF ANYTHING THE DREAM IS BITING HIM. WHICH IS NOT REALLY A BAD THING. KELLS HAVE HAD SOME WONDERFUL HIT. HELL I BET SOME HAVE HAD BABIES OFF HIS STUFF. THIS THE ONLY DUDE I KNOW WHO CAN MAKE A HIT LIKE S** IN THE KITCHEN S*** AND MAKE YOU HUNGRY AT THE SAME TIME. LET THE MAN HAVE HIS TIME AND STOP BN NEGATIVE….
