Kelly Rowland was slated to hit stores this summer, with a new album entitled,
My Story, but the singer decided to scrap that idea and start from scratch.
Opting to change the tempo of the whole album, she sat down with MTV to explain the reason behind this:
“It was basically a list of songs that I put together about the past three years of my life, with love and relationships,” Rowland said of the album. “And I remember listening to the record, and I was just like, ‘I don’t want this to be too deep to where, you know, [I] lose people.’ I still wanna have my party records, and I still wanna make people get up and bob their heads and vibe a little bit. And the record was too full of midtempos and ballads, so I wanted to bring it up a little bit. I mean, I’m 25. I’m young!”
Kelly says she was inspired by Brandy, old Whitney Houston songs, as well as from her friend Beyonce. She mentions a new song from off the album, I’m Still In Love With My Ex..
“There’s one record called ‘I’m Still in Love With My Ex,’ and that’s one of the deepest songs on the record to me,” Rowland said.
So can we assume it’s about former fiance Roy Williams, who called off their wedding? “People are gonna ask all those kinda questions, but it’s just a song,” Rowland said. “Sometimes you enhance!”
