Despite releasing an album just last month, Kelly Rowland already is in talks about releasing a follow-up to her third studio album, Here I Am.
As not much of a surprised, Kelly will reteam with hitmaker Rico Love, who was responsible for penning her #1 platinum-selling single, “Motivation,” to create “classic, timeless R&B sound” with the former Destiny’s Child starlet. He gives us a little insight into what’s going on with the new project.
“I’m starting Kelly’s new album soon,” reveals Love, exclusively to Rap-Up. “While she’s on tour, I’m gonna be writing records for her new album. We can kinda roll that out and drop her new single in late spring. Excited about that.”
Here I Am debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, and #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, with 77,000 copies sold in the first week. To date, it is Rowland’s highest debuting and charting album in the United States. “Motivation” has spent several weeks topping the charts as well, making it Kelly’s most successful solo single.
Newly married songstress Ameriie had a sit down exclusively with Billboard.com to talk a little bit about her fifth studio album, Cymatika, Vol. 1, and even a reunion with producer Rich Harrison.
Q: What are the core genres of the album?
A: Trance and electronic. ’80′s new wave, but not in the sense of the sound, particularly, but more so the song structures themselves. I really wanted to try different things. Even with vocal approach, some of the songs my sister listened to and she didn’t even know it was me. I wanted to experiment with androgyny.Q: In Love & War was about the gray area between being in love and not. Now that you’re a married woman, is that something you touch upon on Cymatika, Vol. 1?
A: This particular album is different as far as the subject matter. I kind of went in a place I didn’t go before. Relationships are very important to talk about but I also want to go a little deeper in to what it is that makes us human and what we have in common.Q: Which producers are you working with?
A: Different people, but two I’ve worked really closely are Andre Harris, of Dre & Vidal but has branched off to do his own thing. He did probably a majority of the album. Continue
