R. Kelly Cooks Up NSFW ‘Cookie’ Clip
R. Kelly‘s long-awaited new album Black Panties finally came out today and accompanying it is the certifiably sexy – and probably NSFW – video for album cut, “Cookie.” The clip opens with Kellz adding a new member to his scantily clad house staff, though any such narrative is dropped in favor of letting the R&B star pour champagne baths and ball out in his lavish mansion surrounded hundreds of revelers while singing his over-the-top ode to all the things he can do with his mouth. What, were you expecting a baking montage? At the start of the video, you’ll also learn Kelly’s daily regimen, highlights of which include golf at 2 p.m., a bath at 5:30, and tea and a cigar at 6:45 sharp.

Along with all his solo work, R. Kelly has been on a tear in the lead-up to the release of Black Panties, performing his steamy duet “Do What U Want” with Lady Gaga on numerous occasions and teaming with Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars too. The singer also recently announced that he would be continuing his R&B soap-opera “Trapped in the Closet,” with new installments slated to air on IFC in 2014.
Black Panties marked something of a return to form for R. Kelly, who ditched the throwback soul and R&B of his previous two records in favor of a more contemporary sound. “I love that I can play around with all types of music,” Kelly recently told Rolling Stone. “I did Love Letter and Write Me Back and those were fun albums for me to do, because they took me back to music I love. But I wanted to change lanes with this new album and remind people of the TP-2.com and 12 Play style of music I can do – ‘Kellz music!'”
Proving he really can do anything, Rolling Stone recently asked R. Kelly’s to improvise a few sultry slow jams about a random topics – like dolphins and Italian hero sandwiches, to name a couple – with unsurprisingly amazing results.
