The steppin’ groove stays on the slow side of midtempo, and the subdued, steady pulse puts Kelly in full Marvin Gaye mode: not just the crooning but the invocation of love as both sexual intimacy and goal for mankind.
Nearly every song uses the rhythm of steppin’, the Chicago dance that Kelly is determined to spread to the world, making the disc sound like a spinoff of “Step in the Name of Love,” from Chocolate Factory.

Happy People, the disc aimed at radio and club play, shows a professional smoothie at work it’s slick, insinuating and ultimately a little tepid. He avoids the profanities that peppered Chocolate Factory, and he is committed to coming across as a nice guy. Whether it’s a heartfelt conversion or his latest spin strategy, Kelly is doing his darnedest to stick to positive thoughts. His album after that, the suavely deranged Chocolate Factory, tossed together lust, tributes to monogamy, praise for God and a little bit of gunplay.The new double album, unfortunately, shows more control. Since 2002, Kelly has faced pending charges of child pornography, stemming from a videotape that purportedly shows him having sex with an underage girl. There’s plenty of gospel in Kelly’s music, most obviously on his megahit “I Believe I Can Fly” practically everything else, from 1995’s “Bump N’ Grind” to last year’s “Ignition,” is a smoldering make-out groove.īut in the earthly realm, Kelly has had nearly as much trouble as Michael Jackson. Also like Prince, Kelly makes most of his music by himself in the studio, while drawing freely on the history of soul. Like so many rhythm & blues superstars - from Little Richard to Al Green to Prince - Kelly has long been a divided soul, endlessly trying to reconcile carnal impulses with Christian faith. Instead of trying to mix his secular and devout sides, as he did on his 2003 album, Chocolate Factory, he has chosen to separate them almost completely. His latest two-CD set has two titles and two missions: Happy People aims for dancing and romancing, while U Saved Me calls for fervent prayer.
