    When Kelly started the promotional campaign for this comeback album, it sounded like she was upgrading herself musically and artistically. Unfortunately that turned out to be wrong. Sure there are some great songs in there, like "Dirty Laundry" (a masterpiece) and "Red Wine", but the rest sounds dull and repetitive.

    Emotionally raw, [Dirty Laundry is] far more intimate than her sexier songs, proving that her best recipe for success is baring her soul rather than her bedroom secrets.

    The album, however, is a solid body of work--albeit with some questionable filler song--but it’s hard to pinpoint something which makes the album stand out and gives it the spark it needs to allow Kelly to separate herself from the countless other female R&B artists out there.

    Rowland's pendulum has swung away from her Guetta-dance flirtation back to her R&B roots, but this set is still a grab-bag of Janet Jackson homages and bedroom-eyed midtempos on which Rowland's come-hither lyrics remain at odds with her slightly prim delivery.
