A nice mix of features and solo tracks for Kelly Rowland off one glance at the tracklist to her upcoming album, Talk A Good Game. In fact, these features should only pique the curiousity of fans of everyone involved. The only track out so far is "Dirty Laundry", which is a personal one that even the casual observer should check out, so I can only imagine this news enhancing the buzz for Kelly. Destiny's Child fans, how psyched are you for track #7? I can also see Kelly mixing well with Wiz & Pusha T on their features respectively. The album drops on June 18th (add another one to that date, folks).
Kelly Rowland's 2nd single off the upcoming album, Talk A Good Game.
It just premiered moments ago on The Breakfast Club and here is the radio rip above (stay tuned today for the CDQ because I, like you, could do without the creep comments prior to the song, hah!)
-- UPDATE CDQ ABOVE (it's a 5:30 version, longer by a minute than the version this morning)
The song itself is surely one of Kelly's most personal and revealing as she talks about the mixed emotions of seeing Beyonce's solo career take off after Destiny's Child's breakup (while also touching on the music industry). And to make things tougher, she reveals while this was going on, she was going through an abusive relationship. Hear how she describes it all, also writtenproduced by The-Dream, above.
I dig Kelly's honesty first and foremost, and that makes for an engaging track that I think her fans will really enjoy.
Yessssssssss Kelly! This cover > Okay back to the actual story. Today Kelly Rowland released the artwork for her fourth solo studio album, Talk A Good Game. The album is set to drop June 18th featuring collaborations from band matesBeyoncé and Michelle Williams, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell, The-Dream, Mike Will Made It, and more. “Kisses Down Low” serves as the lead from the new album.

01.10.13.: Today is a BIG day for teenagers of the 90s. In addition to Justin Timberlake's tease back into music, news has also surfaced that Destiny's Child is reuniting for a brand new single!
"Nuclear" is produced by Pharrell and recorded by the final trio of Destiny's Child - Beyonce, Michelle Williams, and Kelly Rowland. It will be featured on the group's collection of "romantic, passionate and sensual selections" recorded between 1997 and 2004 entitled Love Songs, as the one new track. The compilation hits stores later this month, January 29th.
Below is the tracklist, and if you missed Beyonce's jaw-dropping new GQ photos (the cover from the other night and the full photoshoot today)... umm... click here.
In some not so shocking news reported by Us WeeklyDestiny’s Child will indeed join Beyoncé on stage during her Super Bowl halftime performance. The best selling girl group of all time will perform a medley of their biggest hits and will also be singing their new song, “Nuclear” produced by hit maker Pharrell. The song is lifted off their new album Love Songs, which was reported earlier today.
After Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams exit the stage Beyoncé will then debut her lead single from her extremely highly anticipated fifth album. One can only imagine the magnitude of a show Beyoncé is going to put on at the Super Bowl. I expect to get every bit of my life from this performance. Check out Destiny’s Child last performance together at the BET Awards below:
So I was doing some updates and I saw Srirchana’s Top Five Hip-Hop Holiday Songs, and thought to myself the world needs a rundown on some of R&B’s greatest holiday songs. So here is just a small list of some of R&B’s take on the holiday season.

Donny Hathaway "This Christmas"
