MUSIC NEWS: KELLY ROWLAND ANNOUNCES ALBUM TITLE

May 12th, 2011

After much back and forth about the title of her often delayed third studio album, Kelly Rowland has found much success with her latest single, the Lil’ Wayne-assisted, “Motivation,” with breaking out with a top 40 hit. She has finally announced that she will title her new album, Here I Am.

Here’s what Kelly had to say about naming her album:

“I wanted people to know that this is the record, the sound I’ve been working toward… that here I am,” she explained. “It just connected with my heart and the music as well. It stands for everything I’ve gone through and thought about for this record as a woman. It’s very strong.”

Kelly has been hard at work on this new effort, with an all-star cast of writers and producers, ranging from Rico Love, Ester Dean, Stargate, Rodney Jerkins, David Guetta and many more. Seems like this could be shaping up to be Kelly’s biggest splash yet. Still, there is no solid release date for Kelly’s third LP.

    Kelly and Beyonce should put out their albums on the same day, and use a competition promo like Kanye & 50. LOL

    I’ve been waiting for something like this from Kells for a really long time. I think she has found her kind of music and created her own little “genre”. I love Motivation and all the other songs she has released during the last couple of years so I hope that I’ll be enjoying this upcoming album just as much :)

    Now ou know if this was Beyonce revealing her album title the day after Kelly everyone and their momma would have something to say #I’mjustsaying

    The album title isn’t that original, however as long as the songs are hot like Motivation and Commander I shall be buying this album. Go Kelly girl!

      @ Jamie its not like your getting a piece of her money. Dammit it is just a picture that I commented on. I think it is Ugly. What you don’t thing Kelly and other celebs do not comment on other people clothing, shoes, pictures, etc..F’k out of here if Kelly seen your pic she probably comment on that too. No need to hate its just ones judgment. Goooshhhh

      All of ya’ll need to really shut up. This chick just sat there and named a whole bunch of songs with that name and albums with similar titles, but not the exact title. That’s just plain nit-picking right there, and if this is any attempt to make Kelly appear unoriginal and you just so happen to be a Bee stan mad that she released her album title a day after Bee’s, then let’s not go there because there’s video proof on how unoriginal that chick is. If HERE I AM fits the feel of the album, it just fits. DEAL WITH IT!!!

    it’s kelly’s time to shine. now that beyonce has flopped, she’s gonna be spending her time trying to save her career instead of blocking kelly’s way.

    A dayumn shame some ppl find interest in Kelly Rowland just to contribuate into the whole Kelly VS Beyoncé BS so in their own words “Beyoncé will sit down”. Some dont even are fans of Kelly and dont even have any of her albums. And a lot of ppl ride for other female artists just because they hate on Beyoncé. A dayum shame. If Beyoncé was about to release her album title just right after Kelly, it would have been world war III. Also how shady that the article was not complete when Kelly said that nobody else deserved more the Millennium Award than her sister Beyoncé and she was happy for her. I’m a big Kelly fan and I own every album and know her songs by heart. But I feel no sympathy for her ass because the problem is she has no artistry and no directive at all! How an album that was supposed to be released a year ago, you had your first single last year and you’re still going back and forth in the studio without knowing what u wanna do? And then you gonna go to the oversexed route and feature Lil Wayne to be recognize? Oh well, that’s good for her.

    I love simply deep and ms kelly. Analyze a song all you want, but when it speaks to your heart and soul, nothing else matters. She already had my heart with commander, forever and a day, grown woman, rose colored glasses and motivation. I can’t wait to hear what “Here I am” has in store.

    i love the song its fire! go get em kelly!ps the single is beating bey on the charts right now i guess beys stans need a music video so they can force themselves to like her hideous music.if it wasnt for the fact that bey puts on something skimpy and drops it like its hot, single ladies wouldve tanked.so please kelly just might do better than bey this time around so dont sleep on her she hungry she keeps picking herself up no matter how many times people count her out u gotta respect that.

    I’m happy for Kelly. Didn’t like that motivation song, but it grew on me a little bit. I still don’t think people are really going to go out and buy this album, UNLESS her second single is a BEAST. Everybody was on Ciara’s “Ride”, but the album took off no where. I hope Kelly has something to back it up that is going to expand her market.

    *Please NO haters*

    Wow! Do yall use this as a place toargue and talk mess to each other or are yall actually interested in the post?

    Just silly!

    Anyway, I happen to think that Kelly Rowland is doing real good this year with her album and everything. Her new “Motivation” song is on point.

    Bye haters!
