R. Kelly is prepping to serve his fans his Buffet album on Dec. 11. While we wait, the R&B legend has shared the official cover — standard and deluxe — and its accompanying tracklisting.
The standard version of the album consists of 13 tracks with appearances from Jhene Aiko, Tinashe, Jeremih, Ty Dolla $ign, Juicy J, Lil’ Wayne and Ariirayé. The deluxe version consists of 18 tracks with a feature form WizKid.
So far, the Pied Piper has released singles “Backyard Party” and “Switch Up” for fans to enjoy. Kelly revealed that he recorded about 462 songs for this album.
Speaking on inspiration behind the album, Kellz told Sway in the Morning, “I was doing a show — I just finished one of my tours — I was looking over the audience and I started seeing all type of generations in the audience — young, middle-aged, old…that’s when I realized I’ve been in the business for 27 years. I captured all of these generations. They were all singing their favorite songs. I said, ‘Man I need to do an album with all of these types of songs on it.’ I decided to call it The Buffet — all you can hear. It’s a concept album.”
