R Kelly has only just, ahem, dropped his Black Panties, but he’s already looking forward to future projects.

Speaking to Rap-Up, the singer announced that he is working on an album of Christmas songs, titled The 12 Nights of Christmas. The record has apparently been on the go for a number of years, and, alas, isn’t expected until Christmas 2014.

Kelly also revealed that his next album will be another album of slow-jams in the mould of 1993 debut album 12 Play. The singer also revealed that he has “seven, eight” albums on the go. In his words: “There’s been a lovemaking album drought, if you will, per my fans, and I’ve come to save the day.”

This week, Kelly dropped the biscuit-taking video for Black Panties highlight ‘Cookie’. Talking of Christmas gifts, take a furtive peek at FACT’s guide to good sex, as assembled from R Kelly lyrics.
