Kelly Rowland poses it up for the Summer Issue of VEGAS magazine. Inside, the singer talks about her upcoming studio album, whether the fellas will like it as well as moving on from her history with Destiny’s Child. CHECK OUT SOME EXCERPTS AND PHOTOS BELOW from inside the new edition..
ON HER UPCOMING ALBUM:
”I am more excited going into it this time than last time [her third solo studio album, Here I Am, came out in 2011], because I have a concept. I’m making this album for my ladies, oh, yes, and it is strong.All of the producers I’ve been working with get the concept so much that they brought in a little more aggressive—and sometimes masculine—approach, but there is a really incredible top line: I want to tell women how incredible we are, how our intuition is so spot-on. Sometimes we don’t listen to it, but it is the thing that can actually make us happier.”
ON IF MEN WOULD ENJOY HER ALBUM:
“I know that men will but it. Y’all will definitely buy it and sing to it. You’ll say, ‘can’t believe I’m singing to this!’ If you want to learn about women, listen to my next album.”ON THE STIGMA OF BEING A PART OF DESTINY’S CHILD:
“Destiny’s Child was a huge part of my career, and I think it’s only natural for people to refer to Destiny’s Child when referring to any of us,” she says. “For people to call us one of the greatest female groups of all time—are you kidding me? Beyoncé and Michelle are two incredible women and deeper than what the public sees. Destiny’s Child, to me, was a sisterhood and a kinship that the three of us shared. You want people to respect that you have your own identity as an artist, but they also remember how they met you.” [SOURCE]

*eye roll* Kelly I like u, but you fall under the shadows of Destiny Child bc that’s the last time people really recognized you as a competitive artist…get out there and promote yourself better!
Agree.
“I know that men will but it.” ….? But it what?
*buy*
Wtf are you saying Kelly and I’m losing faith in your music. It’s not good. After watching that play with Michelle in it, I’ve started to like her more. She can sing and act. Take a seat for a minute and wait for the next Destiny’s Child reunion.
I love Kelly! DC3 4ever!
loooooooooove that blue pants suit!!! looking forward 2 new music from her too. ;>)
Kelly is such a sweetheart. She gives off such a beautiful positive outlook on everything. I have an enormous amount of respect for people like that – folks that can inspire you simply w/ a smile, is an amazing gift.
I’m glad that she’s in a better place, musically, I can honestly say that I’m looking forwards to hearing her material.
kelly has been looking good
It’s ignorant that people can’t let her be her own woman. She’s beautiful, she talented, she’s positive… and SHE’S NOT BEYONCE! Get over it!
Of any group with a lead singer, Kelly Rowland is probably the most successful artist to establish their own solo career (exception to probably only the Beatles who all went on to have successful solo careers in their own right).
Micheal Jackson, Gladys Knight, Coko, Sisqo, Diana Ross, Justin Timberlake, Patti Labelle, etc. all came from groups whose other members have NEVER established a successful solo career outside of their group. It’s not an easy thing to do, yet I think she’s been treading greatly.
I love me some Kelly! I can’t wait for her album to drop!
I love kelly her last cd was bangin I still listen to it
i just don’t get what she’s trying to do…and why. i mean, at this point…why not just….well, that’s all i’m sayin.
What’s the point in putting out a CD if you aren’t going to put in the work of promoting it.
Kelly does put in work when it comes to her albums but she doesn’t do it in the U.S. Reason being,fans overseas seem to appreciate her music more and she makes more money overseas than in the U.S. I really don’t blame her for sticking to the fans who support her.
I totally agree. She’s a smart business woman as well as an artist.
Well she’ll always be known as Beyonce’s shadow here smh Better to be respected at home than anywhere. I’m tired of Kelly mediocre album promotions…I think she could be right up there with Beyonce if she tried
That’s because she makes that bs pop music.. Motivation was a better song for her in america because she went for a more R&B type feel.. I think it would be better if she went into that lane she has the voice and talent to do it but pop isn’t her forte over here
yeah… even her whole style is a shadow of what beyonce does… that whole “this one is for the ladies, it’s a strong energy, be confident and listen to yourself”… sounds so familiar… she’s even posing next to numbers! get your own lane kelly you can do it!
(((
Too much hair on that lil head of hers. I liked a few songs from her last album..i’ll bootleg this one too.
