October 12, 201014 yr Oooooh, could i please have a link to the new single? Shake Them Haters Off or Forever Is Just A Minute Away? FIJAMA is beautiful, not as good as RCG but still a great ballad. :wub: I've been listening to sad songs all day :snif:
October 15, 201014 yr Kelly announced on UStream, last night, that the album has been pushed back to 2011 for a Worldwide release. -_-
December 14, 201014 yr She's clearly very unsure about the album - the lack of musical direction (starting off as a dance album, and now she seems to be going back to R&B) and the lack of title.
December 14, 201014 yr i think she should do a mix of both, i think it would be a mistake to do an album full of dance songs, especially after the flop that was Forever and a day
January 11, 201114 yr 'Hangover' leaked. It features André Merritt (of 'Fight For This Love' genius fame) and is really good! It's nice to hear some more new music too. :D
February 1, 201114 yr Author Still NO news/update... I was quite excited for this album...now I'm close to 'can't be bothered'...
February 9, 201114 yr 'Just Whisper' has leaked. It's absolutely beautiful! Kelly really does deliver on her ballads! :wub:
February 10, 201114 yr This era is so sad. She blatantly recorded a dance album and is probably being forced into an R&B album (a la Jennifer Hudson). Such a shame.
February 27, 201114 yr Author After months of speculation and multiple delays, Kelly Rowland has finally announced the official title of her new album. The record, which hits stores later this year, will feature contributions from Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Jermaine Dupri, Ester Dean and Andre Merritt. So what is the name of the album? Look below for the answer: ‘Motivation’ Edited April 12, 201114 yr by THEO.
March 6, 201114 yr Commander and Forever and a Day better still be on this album :wub: Even Rose Colored Glasses was great and has a video! I hope she releases it here instead of motivation which will flop!!!
March 6, 201114 yr I want her to release 'Rose Coloured Glasses', that song is just stunning. :heart:
March 8, 201114 yr This is much better than Motivation. Such a shame she's going to flop so hard while she had such fantastic material :(
April 22, 201114 yr Rico Love is no stranger to working with Kelly Rowland, having penned the Destiny's Child member's 2010 dance hit 'Commander' as well as the sizzling, Jim Jonsin-produced 'Motivation', the first single from her forthcoming album due this summer. While Kelly's foray into dance last year may have thrown her stateside fans for a loop, overseas they welcomed the change. But Rico, who's crafted about 10 to 12 songs for the album, says she's returning to her R&B roots these days. "'Commander' overseas was the No. 1 dance record and No. 1 in airplay, so it did very well in other countries," the hitmaker tells Rap-Up.com. "They didn't release it here in the States officially. But I think 'Motivation' speaks to her core fans. It's soul, it's sexual, it's Kelly kinda taking a stance and being a lot more sexual and emotional like the Kelly [her fans]fell in love with." Fans can expect to hear elements of both classy and sassy on her third solo LP. While Kelly will be driving down the same lane of the radio-friendly R&B tunes that she crafted with Beyoncé and Michelle Williams, she'll also make pit stops on the dance side of the road. "I think it's a good collaboration of both," Rico shares. "I want to make sure we're clear that there's no indecisiveness or scatterbrained type of vibe. Being an artist, what happens is you start going through different things and you start enjoying different parts of your life and start reminiscing and remembering, and that's what the studio experience is about… Sometimes you start here and end up here, but that's where the music takes you. I think it's gonna be leaning toward the urban rhythmic side." While a tracklisting has yet to be finalized, Rico is confident that 'Love is the Greatest', a soulful tune he wrote with a distinct reggae vibe, will make the cut. "I did that with Salaam Remi," he reveals. "It just feels so good. It showcases her vocals. I take pride in vocals and I take pride in producing vocals and pulling out the best vocals I can out of all the artists I work with. To me, the artist is the instrument. So if I'm writing a melody and coming up with an idea, I have to make sure I coach [an artist] and push them to a level where everybody singing the song believes it. Every time you hear Kelly sing a song, you should feel like she wrote it because she means it that much." –Georgette Cline
