Leaving aside the fact that the song’s just not that great–this is one of the greatest voices in the history of modern r&b: autotune just makes no sense for R. But more Kells is on the way: The Demo Tape, a remix mixtape hosted by DJ Drama and DJ Skee, is coming soon, and a handful of songs are already floating around the internet, including Kelly’s remix of Lil Wayne’s “Every Girl,” in which the conceit is, yup, “I wish I could fuck every girl in the world.”

The music Kelly has released here and there since has been occasionally good–the post-Dream and mostly chaste “#1 Fan” is hard to argue with, and “Superman High” had a tremendous Willy Will beat, at least–but mostly autotuned and weird: the underwhelming “Take It To the Hotel,” his random remix of Kanye’s “Love Lockdown,” and the creepy Obama-homage “I Believe,” which appallingly equated Barack’s struggle to Robert’s. “19? I have some 19-year-old friends but I don’t like anybody illegal if that’s what you’re talking about.” This prompted, among other people, HOT 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex to bug out on YouTube, where he pointed out, basically, that Kelly “was telling all of America he’s going to continue to do this, he’s been doing this, and he feels good about doing it.” Which seemed like a pretty fair gloss on it, really. “When you say teenage how old are we talking?” he asked.

But he has occasionally tested us: in a BET interview last fall, Kelly responded to a question about his seeming penchant for underage girls with a question in kind. Kelly hasn’t tested out his commercial might much since his 2008 acquittal on child pornography charges– 12 Play, the follow-up to 2007’s Double Up, never came out–so the album-buying public has yet to get a chance to render a verdict on the continued viability of dude’s career.
