Already boasting a number one R&B/Hip-Hop single in the form of “Share My Love” — a breezy throwback to mid-’70s disco-soul — Write Me Back is R. Kelly’s 12th studio album. The artist has referred to it as a sequel to 2010’s Love Letter with elements of older albums from his discography. Released just a year after throat surgery, Write Me Back arrives amid a flurry of activity, including a memoir, a raunchier in-development album (Black Panties), new chapters in the Trapped in the Closet saga, and soundtrack work for the remake of Sparkle.
