Check out the remix of “Motivation” from Kelly Rowland and R. Kelly. Of course, you know R&B’s self-proclaimed pied piper is not shy of jumping on a remix that is doing well on the charts.

Seems as though Kelly Rowland has scored a #1 single with the Lil’ Wayne-assisted first single, “Motivation.”

The Jim Jonsin-produced, Rico Love-written track has hit #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts after 10 weeks, while sitting at #21 on the Hot 100. It has been Rowland’s most successful solo effort to date. The track is the official first single from Kelly’s forthcoming third studio album, Here I Am.

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.
