Full review
Ever wondered how one man can be so diverse in his music messages? When you're looking for an artiste that can do/does all that, it's R. Kelly. If this review were about him, he'd probably get all the props I can give him, but let me limit this to this specific Album.
R. Kelly does it a gain with this magical double CD album! I would say this album is very well suited for this present world where you have many who are downcast, lost, sad, lonely, and in need of some encouragement or the other. There are two CDs in the pack, namely: U SAVED ME, and HAPPY PEOPLE.To mention a few, some of the tracks in "U SAVED ME" CD are:
3 Way Phone Call - Kelly, R. & Kelly Price/Kim Burrell/Maurice Mahon
U Saved Me
Prayer Changes
How Did You Manage
I Surrender
Spirit
Leap Of Faith As you would probably suspect, this CD addresses issues surrounding spirituality - in the R. Kelly spectacular style. It keeps you in touch with your spirituality and has the ability to lift your spirits high, especially with the scincillating vocals of this talented man.
Some tracks from the second CD "HAPPY PEOPLE" include:
Love Signals
Love Street
Ladies' Night (Treat Her Like Heaven)
If
Greatest Show On Earth
Steppin' Into Heaven
Happy People
This is more like a dance theme set of tracks. Listening to the lyrics of this song would definitely get you in the mood, that happy mood.Forget what you hear about the man behind the songs... LOVE the songs. They're coming from one of the greatest talents the music world has ever encountered. R. Kelly's got something for everyone. With a total of 21 tracks, you definitely want to make this a collector's item. If you're an R. Kelly fan, as I am, then this is a must-have for you.
101cd.com has got it for £8.99 if you buy it online, otherwise, try Tesco (which is where I got mine) for £9.40.
Advantages: A CLASSIC, DOUBLE CD..SO A LITTLE FOR EVERYONE Disadvantages: feel bad to like it, because of what he may have done.
...a little for everyone.
The happy people sounding tracks are well.....for those who want feel good tunes, too dance to, or relax to, for example The Greatest Show on Earth” and the magical “Steppin’ Into Heaven.” Then theres the other CD U SAVED ME, being of very high quality , expressing problems he has faced, struggles (no doubt he has got alot to say).
example tracks "Peace” and “I Surrender”.
so like i said the double cd album has a style for ... ...joints...great mixture, truely illustrating his producer skill have risen to the table.
But no matter what the fella may have done, its just so hard not to like this CD (OR SHOULD I SAY BOTH CDS), no matter what anyone says he has the magic to produce classic, soulful tracks...what can i say its the magic of the pied piper and well....its in full throttal! ...

big_red_apple3
Advantages: A 2cd album Disadvantages: not everyone may like it
...but i don't know why)
Happy People ( this is one of my favourite songs off the album)
These are some of the songs off the happy people side of the album. i personally feel this side of the is all about love and the other side u saved me is a bit on the religious side , for example it has songs like
u saved me
prayer changes
leap of faith now theres nothing wrong with someone singing about their faith, but it may offend some people. but thats ...

Additional notes
Album Notes: Personnel include: R. Kelly (vocals); Kelly Price (vocals); Donnie Lyle (guitar, bass instrument, background vocals); Rodney East, Kendall Nesbitt (keyboards); Abel Garibaldi, Nathan Wheeler (programming, background vocals); Steve Bearsley, Andy Gallas, Ian Mereness, Jason Mlodzinski (programming); Uncle Life (background vocals). Engineers: Peter Mokran; Abel Garibaldi; Andy Gallas. Recording information: The Chocolate Factory, Chicago, Il; The Studio, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. R. Kelly's music is sometimes hard to separate from his borderline-absurd real-life misadventures, since his alleged misdeeds inevitably inform his recordings. While most artists are influenced by life unfolding around them, few people's private worlds bleed into their creative work in such a public and chaotic way. Heart-on-sleeve emotion has been a hallmark of Kelly's music, and as scandal has surrounded him, so have heartfelt pleas of forgiveness and repentance. His ambitious 2004 double record, HAPPY PEOPLE/U SAVED ME, can be seen as a reaction to/against all this drama. The titles reflect the music within to perfection, the former containing infectious celebrations of life and love, the latter every inch a traditional gospel/soul record. When freeing himself to party on HAPPY PEOPLE, Kelly lets loose a torrent of catchy, groove-laden love songs, most notably the clever "Love Signals." On U SAVED ME, he gains gravity with a solemn grace that transcends his troubles, making a credible artistic conversion.
Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.140) - 3 stars out of 5 - "HAPPY PEOPLE aims for dancing and romancing, while U SAVED ME calls for fervent prayer....Kelly is the master of the ultra-slow groove, and the songs on U SAVED ME take their time, then use gospel's strategic buildups to sweep Kelly towards faith."
Entertainment Weekly (p.122) - "Kelly knows record making. The songs, all of which he wrote and produced, have a clean and fluid directness." - Grade: B+
Uncut (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "HAPPY PEOPLE is an extraordinarily buoyant record giving off irresistible party vibes..."
