submeat's top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#46 "Laundromat," Nivea featuring R. Kelly (Jive)
Here's one which sadly flew under most folks' radar, the second-best R. Kelly production of the year. [You already know what his best one was, and we'll get to it in due time.] I don't entirely get the whole "laundromat" theme, as the single largely concerns a breakup. But the gently loping beat and the phat bassline more than make up for any lyrical confusion. And you've gotta love any record in which a woman tells Mr. Teen Watersports USA off.
