It's been a minute since former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland released a full-length pop album. Much longer than a minute, in fact, more like over a decade. But in Kelly Clarkson Show on Friday (February 23) the “Kisses Down Low” singer explained her long absence from the studio and why she's getting ready to get back into it.
When Clarkson asked if there was any new music on the horizon, Rowland coyly replied, “it's coming… later,” as the host and audience erupted in applause for teasing the long-awaited follow-up to 2013. Talk about a good game LP.
“I'm finally inspired,” Rowland explained. “I'm finally inspired, you can't be like write about anything and I don't want another sexy song. I want to talk about so many different things and I'm really excited about the theme of this album [unintelligible].”
The singer was on the show to promote her co-star in the new Tyler Perry Netflix legal thriller Mea Culpa along with Trevante Rhodes (Birdbox), and agreed with Clarkson's riff on the need to “break the monotony” of the music industry to keep your inspiration and passion burning. That may explain why Rowland, 43, who also co-produced the film, has been off the music radar for a while.
After the release of her debut solo album, Just Deepin 2002 and launching the No.1 Advertising sign Hot 100 single “Dilemma” (feat. Nelly) and the singles “Stole” and “Can't Nobody,” Rowland has ping ponged between music and film in recent years. It appeared in 2003 Freddy vs. Jasonof 2012 Think like a mandecade of 2020 Bad hair and 2022 The Curse of Bridge Hollowwhile also involved in directing television Clash of the Choirs, X Factor UK (and USA), The Voice Australia and a guest spot on the ABC sitcom Grown-Ish as Eddie last year.
Her solo debut followed in 2007 Ms. Kelly and 2011 Here I am and after Talk about a good game, on which he co-wrote all but one of the 12 tracks. Although her output of solo albums has slowed, Rowland has continued to drop singles over the past decade, including “Conceited” (2016), “Crown” (2019), “Crazy” (2020) and “Black Magic” (2021 ). ).
