  Essentially an R&B soap opera complete with the sets lighting convoluted plotlines and scandalous secrets of daytime TV Trapped In The Closet features its star and a cast of characters very literally acting out the actions the song describes. The plot involves numerous infidelities a homosexual affair a gun and as this is an R. Kelly piece of work at least one steamy sex scene. The attention to detail is astounding hilarious and typical of Kelly as he describes everything from the fear he experiences while hiding from his lover's husband to the leg cramp he gets while having sex with his wife. Kelly's smooth vocals give voice to everything even as the different characters mouth the lyrics. Though the project recalls the cheating themes of old blues songs evokes the look of daytime drama and contains the controlled raunchiness of vintage Kelly it's safe to say that Trapped In The Closet represents a new direction in R&B and is like nothing else audiences have ever seen before. This audacious collection presents the first 22 episodes of the ""Hip-Hopera.""
