The Buffet

"The Buffet" is the thirteenth studio album by American R&B singer R. Kelly. It was released in the United States on December 11, 2015, by RCA Records. The album's guest appearances include Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla $ign, Jeremih, Juicy J, Wizkid, and Tinashe. The album also marks the debut of Kelly's own daughter, Joann Kelly going by the stage name Ariirayé. The album was originally to be called White Panties, as a followup to its predecessor Black Panties. It was announced in May 2015 that it would instead be titled The Buffet because "it's just a variety of things", and would contain a mix of different genres of music. Kelly reports having written 462 full songs in developing the album, from which his final 13 selections were made. A Deluxe version featuring a further five tracks was also released.
