Epic 2010 Album

This is partly new material from R. Kelly and some old stuff. 50/50 to be exact - with tracks 6 & 9 being from 'U Saved Me' from 2004, 7, 10 & 12 being from 'R.' from 1998, and 'The World's Greatest' from the the 'Ali' soundtrack or the 'Chocolate Factory' bonus disc a couple of years later. While that's only six new songs, (some were meant to be part of the heavily bootlegged 'Loveland', that became 'Chocolate Factory'), one being a prelude and one a month or two old from the FIFA World Cup, all are quality and all add to the soul/ballad/build-up type of songs such as the well known 'I Believe I Can Fly' and 'Worlds Greatest'. 'Can You Feel It' is slightly more upbeat but maintains the same sort of uplifting feeling of the other tracks. 'I Believe' goes off! God damn! 'Heal It' and 'Victory' are other strong cuts that were from a planned album full of uplifting songs about/dedicated to Africa that the label didn't let him release. 'Sign of a Victory' and 'Fireworks' are both tracks inspired by the 2010 World Cup. While Kells has slipped off being able to make a consistent album, he still creates some great tunes and this is an example of it. If you enjoy tracks such as 'I Believe I Can Fly' and the 'U Saved Me' disc, then all the new songs should induce enjoyment on this album/compilation.
