Musical genius and R&B singer R. Kelly has made a remix to Mariah Carey’s, “Touch My Body”. R. Kelly told us he was “coming back” but only a year ago, Double Up, came out. R. Kelly first single from his upcoming album, 12 Play: Fourth Quarter, is called “Hairbraider”. I wonder if he’s gonna show up on every major remix this year like the last. Mariah Carey’s new album, E=MC2, is in stores now!!!
