Kelly Rowland’s ‘Here I Am’ Album Release Date Revealed

Published: Thursday 9th Jun 2011 by Sam

It’s finally here!

The long-awaited release date for Kelly Rowland‘s third studio album has finally been unveiled. Let’s just say it’s much sooner than you may think.

Find out when it is after the jump…

According to Rap-Up, Universal Motown have confirmed that the hotly anticipated set is to hit stores in the US on…

July 26th 2011

Preceded by chart topper ‘Motivation’, the LP boasts production credits from the likes of Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Tricky Stewart & The Dream, Ester Dean, David Guetta, Rico Love, and more.

The release marks more than 4 years since Rowland’s last album ‘Ms. Kelly’ hit stores.

———————————

Needless to say, the resounding success of ‘Motivation’ has seen the album pushed up from its initial Fall release window (although, I sneakily suspect this was always the plan. Early releases=high demand=good PR).

Still, with Rowland’s X Factor UK judging duties on pause from the middle of July, she’s free to aggressively push the project Stateside until late September / October. Roll on next month!

  13. G.dee June 9, 2011

    Am not feeling kelly. She had to use other singers to sell more. None of those singles was her singing solo. Until her number one comes from not colabirating I will then give her credit. Right now I don’t think she has done enough to stand on her two feet. Sorry Kelly am not a fun. Not even in DC times

  14. UK-b June 9, 2011

  33. PYTFromAl June 9, 2011

    Don’t know why jealous Beyonce fans come here. Probably a little upset that all of B’s singles have flopped thus far and Kelly has a #1. Tsk tsk.

  34. chrisj June 9, 2011

    i hope the the so called fans crying and in tears will actually buy her album..i see alot of talk no action..even tho im not much of a fan..im gonna make sure i buy her album to support her

  35. Harlem June 9, 2011

    She will not even beat JLO……

  36. Christian June 9, 2011

    I’m actually excited about this Kelly album. I love her last album and I’m sure this new is gonna be amazing aswell. 🙂

  37. VA STAND UP!! June 9, 2011

    Well it’s about damn time!! This is actually pretty close. Barely a month. I think it’s much better than a fall release cause by then people might have lost interest. I didn’t want her to pull a Ciara, have a big hit in the summer and release an album like 6 months later when the song wasn’t even on the charts anymore.

    Now she should really perform at the BET Awards! She needs to start that promo NOW! Most importantly she needs to follow up with a hiot second single! I’m dying to hear what she is gonna have on this album. I hope it’s a nice mix of pop & r&b. She does dance tracks really well.

    Now watch people try to make this a competition between her & Bey since their albums are coming out so close togehter! SMH!

  38. Part Of The Blanco Family June 9, 2011

    she has done amazing solo songs but when she does them nobody wants to support her.. but when shes with wayne or some other h**.. thats when u wna run out and buy her s***.. so dont be saying s*** like.. she cant get a hit on her own or some s***. GO SUPPORT HER. u can buy beyonces albums but not kellys? #Icant

  39. S*** June 9, 2011

    Im starting to 2nd guess my initial prediction

    Maybe 90K 😕

    But who Knows Maybe 140-180K Max 🙂

  40. I see June 9, 2011

    Number 1 on rnb and hip hop……YOU GUYS ACTING LIKE SHE WAS NUMBER 1 ON THE ACTUAL HOT 100 BILLBOARD…..

    How long have we been waiting for this album…..It is going to flop, maybe 45k.

  41. PYTFromAl June 9, 2011

    It least her single was #1 on something. Beyonce was #1 on nothing . LOL

  42. I see June 9, 2011

    How many number 1’s has beyonce had and how many number 1 has kelly had…..on the billboard hot 100…I rest my case…

    Beyonce has only released one single from her album and kelly has released how many singles for this album that we have been waiting for, for how many years….

    and that one song has had a billion remix’s and only managed to hit number 1 on the rnb and hip hop and yall acting like she’s Gaga or something breaking records….Get over urselves…

    Good for kelly but PLZ DON’T BRING DOWN BEYONCE IN THE PROCESS.

  43. DARKAQUA June 9, 2011

    OK TIME FOR A BANGIN SUMMER TRACK….WHERE THE DREAM AND TRICKY!!!

    WE NEED ANOTHER SINGLE AND A “GOOD” VIDEO….MOTIVATION VIDEO WAS WEAK

  44. Princess June 9, 2011

    GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN’T WAIT! I LOVE KELLY

    Now you are trippin. You’re clearly delusional as most of the pressed R****** navy!

  46. NikkiIsChillin June 9, 2011

    Congrats to Kelly. Can’t wait!

  47. Jonathan Gardner June 9, 2011

    @I see

    Good point but Bey has released THREE songs from 4, two of them being official singles…NONE are yet to surpass “Motivation” despite “Run The World (Girls” having NUMEROUS, HIGH PROFILE performances and “Motivation” yet to have a single performance…

    I STAN HARD for Destiny’s Child-ren, but for once Kelly is really slaying Bey on the charts…FACT.

    http://www.billboard.com – look for yourself….Kelly’s also slaying Bey this side of the pond with What A Feeling DEBUTING at #6 while “Run The World (Girls)” is yet to creep into the top 10…

    Who mad?

    It least her single was #1 on something. Beyonce was #1 on nothing . LOL

    ——————————————————————————

    You have got to be kidding me?!?! You know how many No. 1’s Bey has had on Hot 100?! Do you know how many albums she has sold?? Do you know how many Grammy’s Bey has SOLO?? Do you really think Beyonce is trippin off of Kelly’s first No. 1 in FIVE years on the r&b charts? Child Boo!

    Bey doesn’t have ANYTHING to prove cause it was SHE who got the tribute like a Queen at the Billboard Music Awards this year, while Kelly got to present an award to Cee Lo.

    No matter how much HATERS try to knock Bey you CANNOT deny that she has ALWAYS been and will most definitely ALWAYS be more successful than Ms. Kelly. #StopLyinToYourself

    I love how people are kissing Kelly’s ass now just to shade Bey! SMH.

  49. EdwardPonton June 9, 2011

    @I see
    I see where your coming from. We all know that bey has had more success than kelly. That’s no argument. But as a fan of both all I personally ask for is respect to both artist. People come into a Kelly thread to HATE. like shee’s killed they parents or some s***. She’s humbled, talented, and beautiful. The majority of her haters appears to be beyonce fans. Why? They were apart of the same group. I love beyonce she’s my favorite but her stans are delusional and get’s mad when competetition arises. The f*** up with that?

  50. muni June 9, 2011

    DC fans should be united but if Beyonce fans want to act selfish thinking that Beyonce is the only start of DC so be it. GOD will do us the justice. I believe that Beyonce might sell more than KELLY in the first week cos she is Beyonce but….

    ONLY GOD KNOWS and KELLY’s stans

  51. EdwardPonton June 9, 2011

    I dont give a f*** about sales! As long as I am provided with great music, I’ll continue to be a loyal ass Fan.

  52. Renee June 9, 2011

    I have to wait and actually see Kelly’s album come out on July 26, 2011. I’m sorry, but I am so use to this clown changing dates and so forth. I like Kelly, but last year was a f****** mess.

  53. Jay June 9, 2011

    Motivation will probably be the only “r&b” song she will have on the album. the rest will be that dance garbage that she has been trying to release for the last 4 yrs… I love kelly when she is r&b but it ain’t gonna sell off of one song..

  54. GREG June 9, 2011

    Why is everybody so worried about how many CD’s your fave is going to sell so that you can go back and boast to other fans?….just buy the CD and STF….enjoy the music and stop fightin over people that only want your money.

  55. FlopJuice June 9, 2011

    it’s not the ”success” of Motivation (it has flopped, falling on Hot 100) the reason why they pushed up…

    the X Factor judge thing messed up the schedule, the label can’t loose MORE money, they already lost a lot with 5 flopping singles from a yet unreleased album, so the label wants to get rid of her as soon as it can…

    i am still not a hater, just realistic, it’s going to be a commercial disease… the july release date is basically a huge mistake, but after 5 flopping singles it is a s******…

  56. quanberg June 9, 2011

    u see reading S*** truly upsets me like for real ….. Kelly i snot a flop, yes her album sales may not belike B’a but her quality of music is AMAZING !!!! not that RTW bull s*** ya’ll faves put out. I love all DC3 girls but real appreciates real and I appreciate COPY !! Beyonce is over rated and played !!! Where is she on the charts huh huh huh thought so ….. let kelly get her shine on. Beyonce will sell because she’s beyonce but I have not been impressed at all with none of the relseases I shall buy “4” just because but i’m going all in for Kelly #HereIAM, and for the recored again, Kelly is not a FLOP !!!! She is an international superstar #THANKS !!!

  57. Jrizza June 9, 2011

    I may buy a couple of copies to support my girl. I don’t want her to flop this time around, i just #cantletthathappen this time.

    I truly believe this is her make or break it moment in her career!

  58. Jarrett GOer June 9, 2011

    I respect both Beyonce and Kelly. i am a huge fan of both artists. I believe that both are amazing. beyonce has 16 grammy’s and counting, she works hard and deserves her success. I am in love with her new music and it’s better and more verstaile than that i am sasha fierce record, just my views. Now for Kelly, it seems as though she has always struggled with finding the right sound. She seemed to struggle more as in terms of finding a right sound, and ssince 2009 she has been killing the pop dance scene, When Love Takes Over and Commander are beautiful songs. Commander is amazing, probably one the best dance records of the decade, its amazing. Motivation is a really good urban record, i think the album should be half pop and half urban, offering something for everyone. I think is very beautiful and is extremely underated, i think with her beautiful dark skin, beautiful voice and powerful music, she could be a huge international superstar. So proud of Kelly and i am buying 5 copies myself, glad she left matthew knowles and columbia and went for Motown, now her promotion team needs to get on their behinds snd promote her. Team Kelly forever!!

  59. Dave June 10, 2011

    Kelly!

  60. SipDatBoyz June 10, 2011

    its only been 3 years..lets not forget about ms. kelly diva deluxe

  61. Jonathan Gardner June 10, 2011

    @FLOPJUICE

    Sit, b****. “Motivation” isn’t “falling” anywhere…it experience its FIRST drop last week, from #21 to #25 BUT, it has HELD its position at #25 this week..(billboard[dot]com)

    ….it could EASILY outdo its peak…it’s GAINING on ALL formats, Pop, Rhythmic, Urban and Urban Adult Contemporary…..(allaccess[dot]com)

    All it needs is for downloads to pick up again and it could possibly creep into the top 10. A major performance would help – of course, KELLY HASN’T EVEN NEEDED TO PROMOTE/PERFORM THIS SINGLE FOR IT TO DO SO WELL WHILE OTHERS IN THE GAME HAVE DONE MAJOR PERFORMANCES AND STILL CAN’T GET NEAR “MOTIVATION” ON THE CHARTS…

  62. Aisha June 10, 2011

    ‘Here I Am’ by Kelly Rowland will be her breakthrough album worldwide ! Can’t wait for the tour. Just hope she performs her other hit songs like Work, When Love Takes Over, Daylight and Unity (my all-time favorite ballad). Great news !

  63. Jamie June 10, 2011

    @Johnathan Gardner

    Boy you betta preach! This will be Kelly’s breakthrough album. Everything is going the way it was supposed to go in the first place. The haters are mad. We just have to make sure we are on our game, and the label has to make sure the album doesn’t leak because haters like the ones on here will spread the links like an S**.

    I’m proud of Kelly, and I’m extremely happy about the push-UP after so many unofficial push-backs, but timing is everything and I know this album will be also!!!

  64. credits June 10, 2011

    the second single better deliver….

    I can’t wait

  67. VAN June 10, 2011

    Everyone wants to accuse a Beyonce fan…

    I read through the whole post and didn’t see one instant where Beyonce was brought up to bring down Kelly. It was the haters who started it.

    It’s true. Beyonce has been more successful than Kelly, so ya’ll stop trying to bring Bey down:

    “…all of B’s singles have flopped thus far and Kelly has a #1”

    Like chill the f*** out bro. I support Kelly too, but there’s no need to throw shade at Bey to show that support.

  68. prettibou June 10, 2011

    i find it funny how haters get on here and hate kelly slaying beyonce end of story..4 songs out and still no # one where the queen at she aint running this world…i see beyonce fans are pressed cause of her lack of success this time around both lady are talented..yes b has achived alot but a queen has stay power WHERE SHE AT…sure not in Anyones #1 spot keep it moving…haters are what make the music sell I LOVE IT

  69. djdunkonthatbitch June 10, 2011

    FLOP!!!!!!!! Be lucky if this s*** hole album sell 10,000 in its first week. She is not talent c*** she should just give the hell up

  70. BDABOSS June 10, 2011

    Ok this has made my day! This album will be well. I’m almost certain that it’ll hit the number one spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts. It’s great that someone is paying attention and decided to push up the album release date. I was beginning to get nervous that the same thing that happened to Ciara was going to happen to Kelly. I just can’t wait until I she performs this live, and hopefully it’ll be on the main stage at the BET awards and not the pre-show.

  71. 16 inches of my own hair June 10, 2011

    First things first Kelly looks AMAZIN in that picture… I really hope her album is good… Ima buy it regardless not bootleg… These artist need support and spending $9.99 at target or best buy aint hurting nobodies pockets… *shakes head* But im already running late gotta go *applies lip stick then puckers lips* MWWAHHHHH…

  72. tera June 10, 2011

    bey ass not getin anymore success because she cant find anybody else to sacrifice !!!!!! every body wise up now ****** her powers r failin now ??????? the bible said the arms of flesh shall fail / somebody gonna pay for aaliyah and left eye death on judgement day ********* what goes around always comes back around #### everything blowin up in her r%%%%&&&&&$$$ face now

  73. doreen June 10, 2011

    my money is ready when will this album be available internationaly coz im in australia oh boy cant wait

  74. Commander June 10, 2011

    Thank God!

  75. Haiku June 10, 2011

    Kelendria’s fans think they can help her with NICE MESSAGES and GOOD WISHES

    She needs your MONEY!

    Kelendria deserves more succes but her fans dont hand over their money.
    She has some of the worst fans (as you can see from her sales)

    How many of her fans actually BOUGHT “Motivation”?
    Cheering over her success but never actually contributed.

  80. Kevin June 10, 2011

    it’ll probably get pushed back.

  81. TeamKelly!!! June 10, 2011

    OMG! I couldn’t help but smile after reading all of the hate post thrown at Kelly. Point Blank, if she only sales 5 cd’s her first week (Which will be the 5 that I buy) she will still be a superstar to me.

  82. Diva June 10, 2011

    Yaaaaaayyyyy! They betta give her her fair share of promotion!!!

  83. tera June 10, 2011

    @haiku bitter pill to swallow???????? the truth hurts but its not crime everybody needs jesus in this evilous times tell me 1sumbody who dont need jesus ?????????

  84. Kelly Fan June 10, 2011

    Drop another “hit” single & video Kelly!!! Pllllllzzzzz…… I’m tellin u! U will definitely win over a good bit of loyal Urban fan base. Set up on itunes where fans can pre order your album early & a countdown!!! But dn’t list the titles of your songs on your cd nowhere…

  85. remmy June 10, 2011

    Its sad that ppl are gassin her head up just cuz they want Bee to fail…smh…I just hope she don’t do ciara numbers…cuz at the end of the day they gassin her but won’mt buy…good luck, hope for the best…

  86. dakkylove June 10, 2011

    I can’t wait for this album to drop, and stop with all the Beyonce and Kelly hate why can’t you all be happy that two African American women who work their b*** off and are classy focusing on their talent are doing it big in the world. DC3 was the best selling female group of all time, and the members are showing that you don’t have to throw hate around to step up in the world. I support real Talent and i will be supporting both women.

  87. buy made in usa products and help create jobs June 10, 2011

    Im really rooting 4 u Kelly. I believe in u girl. I will support this album w/o a doubt.

  88. k-row fan June 10, 2011

    Way to go Kelly!!!!!!!!! Finally a new album coming sooner than expected. VERY SMART! MOTIVATION IS #13 on BB Top 100 and climbing. Expected to go top 10 next week. Yayyyyy.

  89. thumbs down for lupe fiasco. i hope he flops! June 10, 2011

    Good 4 Kelly. She riding on success now. Do much more though.

  90. EthiOpia June 10, 2011

    I dont see all these people who love Motivation buying the CD….

    I hope they do but I just dont see it

  91. Salem June 10, 2011

    Her 100 fans will make this album go Aluminum Foil!

  92. BDABOSS June 10, 2011

    People will buy it. I wonder what the second single will be.

  93. BDABOSS June 10, 2011

    @salem not cool.

  94. kaka June 10, 2011

    YEESSSSS !!!! why haters are so pressed !!! just watch and be patient !!!

  95. Independent Thinker June 10, 2011

    YEEESSS!!! OH! I’M ELATED. So many people said this album would never come or that if it did come it would come in October/November which are both terrible months in which to release albums; but not only is the album coming, It’s coming in ONE MONTH!!! A SUMMER release is ALWAYS a good look. ALWAYS. Oh, I’m so excited. Kelly is finally giving the people what they want. Can we get the tracklisting? Can we get a new single? Can we get cover art? Come on Thatgrapejuice; keep the info on your girl’s new album coming.

    She better promote the ca ca out of this album. I really hope this means she’ll be performing at the BET awards.

  96. CURLY SUE June 10, 2011

    SOOOOOOOOOOO WHERE’S HER NEW SINGLE?

  97. CICI June 10, 2011

    Wow….I see that a lot of people are pressed over Kelly!…Buy why tho?

  98. musik_lover June 10, 2011

    Beyonce won’t be at the BET Awards because she will be performing at that festival the same day.

  99. musik_lover June 10, 2011

    So therefore Kelly needs to perform at the BET Awards!!! I don’t know why BET has not snatched her up yet with a #1 song and she’s on the 106& Park countdown! What are they smoking?

  100. threal June 10, 2011

    People care because Kelly is a sweet girl. She works hard and deserves her recognition. What is it to anyone to hate on a sucessful black woman. We need to stop the hate on people like Kelly and get your own damn grind- and thats “the real’.

  101. HunnyBunny June 10, 2011

    Kelly has several singles out now- Motivation, What a Feeling in the UK, one up and coming Favor with Lonny Bereal (video is shot), and one with Verse Simmons. I would wait for Favor to climb (its a surefire hit), and release her solo single #2 in 3 weeks.

  102. loves1embrace June 10, 2011

    Can’t wait! Hope she does well!

  103. that_lala June 10, 2011

    i’m glad ppl are starting to notice her now.her music was always hot.its just no one took the time out to listen.go kelly!!!

  104. Angela Wesley June 11, 2011

    I am so glad that Kelly set a release date. I had been waiting so long for her to name the
    album and release date. I was shocked and surprised when someone told me that
    she had already named the album. We were second guessing Kelly and her team
    but they did the right thing by reconnecting Kelly to her R&B f fan base.
    I agree with the Person who said that most of the song from Bey new album isn’t
    good. That is not Kelley’s fault. I like both girls too but some people just to be
    mean and ugly that sad because both girls are talent.

    What pisses me off is that you guys keep saying that she had to have Wayne on the track to get her a successful single! How many damn singers have had #1’s or successful singles due to collaaborations. One good example is Rihalien

    Umbrella, Run This Town, Live Your Life, Love the Way You Lie, S&M Remix…. that b**ch has number 1’s that shouldn’t even be counted because she was just a featured artist.

    How is reachin #21 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts bad as a break out artist? Skeri’s “Pretty Girl Flop” only reached #24 and it was very poppish and CERROR’s “Ride” and the rest of her stupid singles didn’t even reach the damn Top 40 these past few years! “Motivation” is an urban single, and they aren’t many urban singles reaching the Top 10 and #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 these days.

    Kelly will be just fine. She just needs to make sure to PERFORM AT THE BET AWARDS and release “I’m That Chick” and have Pitbull release the single he has her featured on!

    Oh and by the way, “What a Felling” is at #6 on the official charts of the UK!

    Motivation aint over people! It just got added to POP/mainstream radio this week! So expect a higher position on the charts in the VERY NEAR FUTURE! Haters #STAYMAD #FAIL

    beyonce’s bringing new music to the table. I MISS YOU, I CARE, COUNTDOWN, all AMAZING SONGS, kelly is with the techno s*** thats out. what a feeling??? kelly’s music is s***. i hate her, i hate it. she is just a pretty face. for f**** sake. chart toppers in 2011 are s***. music has gone downhill. we all know beyonce’s music has been more than dope. she’s cruising in a legendary lane. 4 probably wont sell as much as kellys coz there is no techno music in 4, but 4 provides people with true vocal talent, emotion and passion. 4 is obviously dedicated to jay-z, as most songs are about her ‘love’. but the sound is new, fresh and GROUNDBREAKING, if the world had sense, 4 will out sell gagas s*** by BILLIONS

    @GEE D – dude u knw nutin of a good artist – Kelly is one! You busy spitting puku about two feet (i know you thinnk Beyonce is gr8) but lovie things dont work like that anymore, you scared she”l do better than you group leader coz i can feel you are a groopie – Groupie! Kelly rocks and her first single rules! Its way better than using auto-tuner dont you think?

    OH PUH-LEEEEEASE HATERS JUST STHU!!!

    do you guys know that the album is NOT RELEASED IN ASIA/MOST PARTS OF EUROPE YET?!!! july 26th is just the release date in the US. as compared to beyonce’s ‘4’ which was released WORLDWIDE ON THE FIRST WEEK. how do i know coz ALL THE HMVs in ASIA still require one to PRE-ORDER!!!

    so THINK before you call this a flop. the album was not promoted WORLDWIDE and album was not promoted on AMERICAN IDOL, the album was not promoted on the BILLBOARD AWARDS, the album was not promoted in GLASTONBURY. for an album with a big-scale promo to sell 511K is NATURAL. if kelly done the same thing, of course she would sell as much as beyonce. oh FYI

    BILLBOARD HOT 100:
    ‘motivation’ – #17 (with promo at the BET awards only)
    ‘RTW’ – #29 (with glastonbury/oprah/billboard awards/good morning america/x-factor/american idol)

    before you call kelly a flop, think twice!
