  Urban R&B producer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter R. Kelly and his supporting band Public Announcement began recording in 1992 at the tail end of the new jack swing era, yet he was able to keep much of its sound alive while remaining commercially successful.

  While he created a smooth, professional mixture of hip-hop beats, soul-man crooning, and funk, the most distinctive element of Kelly's music is its explicit carnality. He was able to make songs like "Sex Me," "Bump n' Grind," "Your Body's Callin'," and "Feelin' on Yo Booty" into hits because his production was seductive enough to sell such blatant come-ons. As his crossover success broadened, Kelly also developed a flair for pop balladry that helped cement his status as one of the biggest-selling male artists of the '90s.

  Having established himself as an artist, R. Kelly took on the mantle of writer, producer and mixer and soon found himself in demand. In 1995, he remixed Janet Jackson's 'Anytime, Anyplace' before keeping it in the family with Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone', which R. Kelly wrote, produced and arranged the vocals. The song was a No.1 hit on both sides of the Atlantic and made R. Kelly more sought-after than ever.

  Kelly truly consolidated his crossover success with the 1996 single "I Believe I Can Fly," which he recorded for the Michael Jordan movie Space Jam. Transcending Kelly's prior sexed-up image, the song reached number two on the pop charts and won Grammy Awards for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. He scored another R&B number one with "I Wish", a tribute to R. Kelly's roots and his mother.

  R. Kelly可以说是美国R&B和说唱音乐最出色的歌手,制作人和词曲作者之一,由他制作的音乐总能很好的把说唱音乐,R&B音乐以及灵魂乐完美的融合在一起并创造出优美的旋律,因而能够得到R. Kelly制作的专辑决不会让歌迷的耳朵受罪,同时他本人还是90年代专辑销量最好的男歌手之一。曾经由R. Kelly参与录制专辑或者帮助创作歌曲的歌星包括Whitney Houston,Michael Jackson,Janet Jackson,Luther Vandross等诸多音乐巨星。

  由于在一次电视节目的新人秀中获胜,R. Kelly的才华得以展示,随后他的事业发展就十分迅速,并且顺利的和Jive唱片公司签约。1992年,R. Kelly和他的乐团Public Announcement发行了第一张专辑《Born Into the 90's》。这张专辑一经推出就大受欢迎,其中的两首单曲《Honey Love》和《Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ)》在电台的点播次数和单曲销量居高不下,成为Billboard R&B单曲榜的冠军。在1993年紧跟着推出了第二张专辑《12 Play》,大获成功,垄断了各大排行榜的冠军,从而一举确立了R. Kelly的巨星地位。

  1996年,R. Kelly为篮球飞人迈克尔-乔丹的电影《Space Jam》录制的单曲《I Believe I Can Fly》成为了他最畅销的单曲之一,在1997年度第40届格莱美颁奖典礼上,R. Kelly凭借着这首单曲,一举获得了最佳影视歌曲,最佳R&B男歌手,最佳R&B歌曲三项大奖。这也让R. Kelly个人的音乐事业进入了全盛期。

  2000年底发行的--《TP-2.com》,是一张R Kelly在R&B音乐界的全新代表作,由R Kelly一手包办创作及制作的曲风呈多元化,除了R&B基调外,还有CLUB JAMS、SOULFUL GROOVES以及R Kelly的抒情曲。这张专辑一推出即登上美国Billboard排行榜流行专辑榜及R&B专辑榜的双料冠军,并入围了多项音乐大奖。其中 《I Wish》也成为当年的最畅销单曲。

  1. used to do something,表示“过去经常,以前常常”,例如:He is not what he used to be. 他已不是旧日的他了。It used to be believed that sugar could decay the teeth. 过去人们认为糖会腐蚀牙齿。还有几个used to do something 比较像的表达方式,be used to something,表示“习惯做某事”,也可以说get/become used to something,比如说:I'm used to it now. 我现在已经习惯了。还有一个就是be used to do something,某物被用来做某事,Grapes can be used to make wine. 葡萄被用作酿酒的原料。还有一个关于use的谚语,Once a use, forever a custom. 习惯成自然。

  2. 这里everlasting arms就是指前一句里的true love,因为只有真爱才能永存,不断鼓舞着人们前进。

  3. 这里的it并不确定指某事,只是泛指希望、成功。

  4. there's nothing to it表示“没有困难,与...比起来算不了什么”。只要坚定自己的信念,就没有克服不了的困难。

  5. spread my wings,展开我的翅膀。spread,“伸开,展开”,例如:Spread your legs! 把腿分开站着!spread可以表示“传开,传播”,比如说,The word spread fast. 消息散布得很快。还可以表示“摊开”,Tom spread all his toys on the floor. 汤姆把所有的玩具都摊在地上。

  6. soar这个词可以表示“高飞,翱翔”,也可以表示“高涨”,比如:Our spirits soared.我们的精神高涨。The temperature soared to 80°F.气温骤升到80华氏度。Prices are soaring again. 价格又在飞涨了。

  7. verge,边缘,边界,例如:She's on the verge of tears.她就快要哭出来了。

  8. break down,精神崩溃,He broke down and wept. 他不禁失声痛哭。break down还可以表示“损坏”,The car broke down halfway to the camp. 车子在去营地的半路上抛锚了。My computer broke down last night. 昨天晚上我的电脑当掉了。

  9. sometimes silence can seem so loud,这句歌词乍一看是互相矛盾的,其实细想一下,也挺有道理的,用鲁迅先生的一句话就可以解释,不在沉默中爆发,就在沉默中灭亡,有时候,沉默是可怕的,吞噬你的心灵,让你精神崩溃。

  10. 这里的miracles in life应该就是指“希望,梦想”。it starts inside of me,就是说要先战胜自己,才能让奇迹实现。要相信奇迹的存在,并不断努力去实现它。
