"Stroke You Up" is a song by American R&B duo Changing Faces that was recorded for their eponymous debut album (1994). The song was released as the album's debut single on July 14, 1994 by Big Beat/Atlantic.[1] It features uncredited vocals from R. Kelly and was certified platinum by the RIAA and sold 700,000 copies domestically.[1][2] A remix version was also written and produced by Kelly, which originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1994 Keenen Ivory Wayans film A Low Down Dirty Shame.
Alan Jones from Music Week described the song as "a groin-grinding slow jam created by R Kelly and sweetly sung by two femmes, with do you mind if I stroke you up/down lyrics. Top five in their native US."[3] In his weekly dance column, James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "slinky girl duo's R. Kelly created typically blatant sexy 85.7bpm US smash, sure to get the juices flowing..."[4]
