MUSIC NEWS BIT: KELLY ROWLAND NO LONGER SOLO ARTIST UNDER COLUMBIA

Grammy-winning R&B/pop singer Kelly Rowland will no longer be recording with Columbia Records as a solo artist, it was officially announced Tuesday by the label.

Rowland, a founding member of Destiny’s Child, the world’s top-selling female group, will continue her relationship with Columbia Records in her ongoing role in the iconic ensemble.

Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching. As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they’ve shown and I will never forget how many good times we’ve had over the years.
