submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#3 “Ignition Remix,” R. Kelly (Jive)
Marvelously self-referential (“It’s the remix to ‘Ignition’”!), sly and playful instead of sleazy, at moments utterly bizarre (“It’s like Murder, She Wrote once I get you out them clothes”?!), sung chiefly against the beat (point-counterpoint is always a plus)... and it’s got no burn factor whatsoever. If anything, it sounds better the 1,000th time than the 50th or 1st. Whether it’s the freakin’ weekend or not. R’s best single, hands down, since “Bump ‘N Grind.”
