R. Kelly has been all about romance on his last two albums, but the self-proclaimed Pied Piper of R&B says he isn’t going to abandon the raunch that helped make him famous.

Kelly’s recent “Write Me Back” and 2010?s “Love Letter” were a departure of sorts for the singer-songwriter, whose hits include classics like “Your Body’s Callin’.”

He described those acclaimed albums as a way of taking a break from his typical explicit material to try something new.

He said his upcoming album will be on more familiar R. Kelly ground.

“The name of my next album is ‘Black Panties’ — that’s my next ’12 Play’,” he said, referring to his classic album filled with sexual material. “I’m going to have some fun on it.”
