Data Insight
Every one of the twelve tracks is Kelly and nobody else, which closes the catalogue the way it ran through the 1990s. He wrote and produced the whole record alone, and the sole-credit habit that had thinned out across Black Panties and The Buffet returns intact for the last album.
12 Nights of Christmas came out in October 2016, his last studio album. Twelve tracks, most of them original Christmas songs rather than standards.
