Kelly Rowland

Does anyone else like her music? I think shes quite underrated as a solo artist. Stole, Dilemma, Like This, Daylight and Flashback are all brill imo. Nothing however beats the Freemasons remix of Work! possibly my fave Freemasons remix ever along with Beyoncé's Green Light. also Daylight really deserved to do better than it did.

I have always liked her since her Destiny's Child days. Gives Beyonce a good run for the money imo. :)

I agree, although I really like Beyonce I do think Kelly's quite overlooked most the time cos of her.

Work is brilliant. Also love Dilemna with Nelly, :heart:

Kelly Rowland has parted ways with her record company Columbia.

According to the News Of The World, the former Destiny's Child singer was dropped as she was "no longer commercially viable".

Rowland has insisted that she decided to quit the label in order to try new projects.

"Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching," she said in a statement.

"As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution."

Responding to the decision, Columbia CEO Rob Stringer said: "Kelly Rowland is one of our finest contemporary artists and a musical force to be reckoned with.

"The decision for Kelly to seek other opportunities for her solo career was agreed upon mutually, and any reports to the contrary are false."

Rowland sold four million copies of her two solo albums Simply Deep and Ms. Kelly, which spawned hits including 'Stole', 'Work' and 'Daylight'.

The news comes just two months after the star parted ways with her long-time manager Matthew Knowles, father of her former bandmate Beyoncé


How can they say she is no longer commercially viable? :confused: She is fantastic.
