Kelly Rowland has been promoting her new single, “Motivation,” but it seems as though material cannot stop leaking. She previously talked about and performed this track, “I’m Dat Chick,” which was slated to be included on Kelly’s presently untitled third studio album. Production and writing credits have said that the track was produced by Tricky Stewart and written by Ester Dean, with whom Kelly has recorded more material with for the album, which still has no release date.

I’d had blonde, and it was so boring. Black is still my favorite, but I was looking for a color that was edgy. I guess it was just the place I was in at that time. I felt like being spontaneous, and I also wanted to go for something extreme. I couldn’t do green or purple or pink, so red was like the fine line between normal and extreme!”
On her childhood with an alleged crack-addict father who beat her mother:
“I have a lot of great memories, actually. Somehow, the negativity holds a very small space in my mind and memory.

So I seem to just focus on that.”
On the influence her mother has had on her:
“My mother’s definitely had the most influence on me as a woman throughout my life. She raised me in a way that I could be responsible and fearless — she taught me a lot of things about life. She’s made me realize that it comes with consequences.” Continue
