The release of a new R. Kelly album on DSPs is denied by a Sony Music representative.
R Kelly was imprisoned by a judge for all time, but this morning, a new record appeared on his streaming pages. After a jury found him guilty of federal sex crimes, the album I Admit It started to circulate on his streaming pages. There are no features in the project. Total of 13 songs without any extras.
Though many felt this is an authentic release from R Kelly’s library, a spokeswoman for Sony Music stated it was a bootleg. It’s an unofficial record, according to a Kelly representative who spoke with Variety.
Sony currently holds the rights to Kelly’s library. The representative clarified that I Admit It is not an official release, despite the copyright line stating that the project was dropped under Sony Music’s Legacy Records division.
Such songs as “Freaky Sensation” and “The Last Man Standing” are included in the CD. Several of the album’s songs have appeared online in recent years. Before the fake album surfaced, many of the songs were already available online. They also seem to have come from his vault in the case of some of the records.
“I Admit It,” a three-part song delving into the accusations against him, serves as the project’s capstone. The 19-minute version of “I Admit It” debuted on Soundcloud in 2018, but this is the first time it has been made available on DSPs.
The song was first released by Kelly on Soundcloud in 2018. I Admit It is the final track on a three-part record that may be found online. The song is now available for the first time on streaming sites including Apple Music and Spotify.
The song speaks directly to the various accusations levelled against R. Kelly throughout the years. He acknowledges that he “done screwed with a couple of fans,” and he adds that the indignation was caused by the revelation that he has “some girlfriends.” In addition, he stirs up speculation that he abducted ladies by singing, “They’re indoctrinated? Really? I was kidnapped? Unable to eat? On the surface, that sounds ridiculous.
R. Kelly was found guilty of federal sex charges and is incarcerated. In his child pornography conviction in Chicago, a jury convicted him guilty of six out of thirteen charges in September. R. Kelly was found guilty in a court of three charges of child pornography and three counts of seducing children. These accusations are connected to his historic 2008 acquittal.
