WRITE ME BACK [Deluxe Edition] [Import Disc]

[Machine Translation] 20th anniversary of his debut, the true King of R&B, 17th album of his career! The true King of R&B, singer, songwriter and producer R. Kelly released "Love Letter" in December 2010, and although it failed to reach #1 on the U.S. charts (it reached #6), it slowly increased in sales and was eventually certified gold. The album was also a hot topic of conversation in Japan. Kelly, who has had a string of No. 1 hits over the past 20 years since her debut, is reaching an unprecedented level of success, and although details of her new album, her 17th major album, have not yet been revealed, the fact that her latest single "Share My Love" is a Chicago stepping stone suggests that it may be the second biggest hit of the 1970s, following "Happy People" and "Love Letter". However, since the latest single "Share My Love" is a Chicago steppin' song, it is rumored to be a 70's soul tune following "Happy People" and "Love Letter". In the U.S., there are also rumors that the new single "Share My Love" will be released in June. In the U.S., his first autobiography will be published in mid-June to coincide with the release of his new album, and in October, he and Kelly will embark on a 5-day luxury cruise tour of Miami and the Caribbean called the "Love Letter Cruise". The "Genius in Action" title is sure to be followed this year by a host of innovative topics.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

デビュー20周年 正真正銘のキング・オブ・R&B、キャリア17作目! 正真正銘のキング・オブ・R&Bにして天才シンガー、ソングライター&プロデューサー、R.ケリー。2010年12月に発表された『Love Letter』は全米チャート1位こそ逃したものの (最高6位)、じわじわとセールスを伸ばし最終的にゴールド認定。日本でもその内容の素晴らしさは各方面で話題となった。デビュー以来20年間にわたってNo.1ヒットを放ち続け前人未踏の域に達しつつあるケリー、メジャー通算17作目となる新作の詳細はいまだ明かされていないが最新シングル「Share My Love」がシカゴ・ステッピンであることから『Happy People』～『Love Letter』に次ぐ70年代ソウル調になるのでは?と噂されている。また米では新作リリースに合わせて6月中旬に初の自伝を出版、10月にはケリーと共にマイアミ～カリブを周る5日間の豪華クルーズツアー「Love Letter Cruise」を開催予定、さらに伝説のヒップホペラ・シリーズ『Trapped In TheCloset』の続編発表も決まっていたりと、今年も「現役にして天才」という冠に相応しい斬新な話題を振りまいてくれそうだ。
