Kelly has sold over 75 million records worldwide, making him the most successful R&B male artist of the 1990s and one of the world's best-selling music artists. In 1996, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for writing Michael Jackson's song "You Are Not Alone" In 1998, Kelly won three Grammy Awards for "I Believe I Can Fly." Although Kelly is primarily a singer and songwriter, he has written, produced, and remixed songs, singles, and albums for many artists. Kelly is known for songs including "I Believe I Can Fly", "Bump N' Grind", "Your Body's Callin'", "Gotham City", "Ignition (Remix)", "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time", "The World's Greatest", "I'm a Flirt (Remix)", and the hip-hopera "Trapped in the Closet". He has been credited with helping to redefine R&B and hip hop, earning nicknames such as "the King of R&B", "the King of Pop-Soul", and the "Pied Piper of R&B". Robert Sylvester Kelly born January 8, 1967, is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, actor, and former semi-professional basketball player from Illinois. The Buffet does have more dimensions than Black Panties, including the enjoyable 'Step in the Name of Love' rewrite 'Backyard Party' and the throwback, Love Letter-styled 'All My Fault.Date of Birth: Place of Birth: Illinois,U.S.A 'Switch Up' likewise features a younger and vulgar R&B artist, Jeremih, who debuted six years earlier with the Kelly-lite 'Birthday Sex,' though the song is closer to Empire soundtrack filler.

Jhené Aiko appears on the Aaliyah-jacking slow jam 'Let's Make Some Noise,' and though she was recorded in a studio far from Kelly's Chicago-based Chocolate Factory, the duet partners don't hesitate to make like they're beneath the sheets with one another. He gets by here, as he always does, on his regenerative inventory of frisky melodies, and even teams up with some of the artists who have either headlined or assisted the more explicit end of pop-R&B. With recent R&B hits from younger peers increasingly blunt with lines like 'eat the booty like groceries' and 'so big it's like a foot is in your mouth,' Kelly's form of lewd lyricism is decreasingly distinctive. The following 'Poetic Sex' involves a sweetened plea, 'Baby, feed me,' and a defiant punctuation of 'My lyrics got a big dick and I just fucked the shit outta y'all.' Anyone who has heard more than a handful of Kelly hits could accurately predict what a song titled 'Marching Band' entails, and the pied piper comes through with what's easily the set's silliest and catchiest song. In the voice-only 'The Poem,' he sets the tone - make that table - by announcing that he'll be 'toasting your juices all night.' If that doesn't get the point across, he makes a slurping sound, for five seconds, that could make Hannibal Lecter shudder. He does so from the start of The Buffet, an album released almost exactly two years after the thin Black Panties.

Robert Kelly remains driven as ever to take a metaphorical theme to a comedic extreme and then deviate from it in direct and explicit fashion. Kelly – The Buffet (Deluxe Version) was published January 13, 2018. The album features guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla Sign, Jeremih, Juicy J, Wizkid and Tinashe. It was released on December 11, 2015, by RCA Records. The Buffet is the thirteenth studio album by American R&B singer and songwriter R.
