Song of the Day: R. Kelly, "Skin"
Posted Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:16am PDT by Chuck Eddy in Rolling Stone Song Of The Day
Things R. Kelly wants to do to your epidermis: touch it, kiss it, feel
it. No surprise there — or on the rest of this rote pornography
attempt, for that matter. He does say, "I'm your Soulja Boy," while
getting mechanized like T-Pain, which is mildly cute. He also hopes
you're an acrobat. But he's done sexier self-parody before, and his
pretty high notes don't compensate for the parts where he crams too
many syllables into a measure.
