R. Kelly “Green Light”

R. Kelly will release his much-anticipated 11th studio album, Write Me Back, on June 26. On the follow-up to 2010’s Love Letter, the R&B King visits numerous styles, including cuts inspired by ’60s and ’70’s soul, Smokey Robinson and even Elvis Presley. However, the real Kellz fans will be happy to hear this specific track — “Green Light,” which is very reminiscent of the Pied Pipers classic love makin’ anthems. Take a listen to the full song now below…
