Kelly Rowland Announces ‘Lay It On Me’ Video Premiere Date

It’s been a (very) long time coming, but change has finally come for Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Lay It On Me’ video.

Elusive by most counts, the Sarah Chatfield / Frank Gatson directed clip is for many fans long-overdue.

The wait, however, is soon to be over, with Rowland revealing the clip’s premiere date.

Find out when it’ll be after the jump…

The Destiny’s Child alumni announced on her official site that the video will be unveiled on…

  15. Lovely October 9, 2011

    Though I feel she waited too late to release the video, I’m still curious of what she comes up with. I see you, Kelly.

  16. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS. October 9, 2011

    Kelly>>>>>>>>BLEACHonce 😉

  17. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) October 9, 2011

    Too late

    Ppl forgot she released a f***** album already ! it is like a new album all over again !! her team is a FLOP !!

    It looks like she is giving birth to her singles , not releasing them 😆

    I know I will be watching anyway ..

  18. Those That Cannot Do, Stan October 9, 2011

    I really hope it’s an amazing video after all this wait, like seriously amazing.

  19. LOVE4BEY(Your Fave’s Fave) October 9, 2011

    cant wait to see!! 😉

  20. http://www.democrats.com/the-billionaire-koch-brothers-war-against-obama October 9, 2011

    After all this time waiting, I hope it is nothing but EPIC! Thats why I am still waiting. Dont know if I should really be continuing to hold my breathe or just let go.

  21. creativei October 9, 2011

    ABOUT DAMN TIME….BEY IS ABOUT TO DROP HER 5th ALREADY SMDH….

  22. YOOSONDALOOSE October 9, 2011

    About time!

  23. EdwardPonton October 9, 2011

    I’ll be waiting. Kelly specifically said this process will be long. Everyone should just be patient and stay positive. If you dont like her that’s one thing but you dont have to hate damn. Whatever Kelly does it’s always someone to complain about it. Just chill. Why click on a post just to speak negative? And why Beyonce name always has to come up? So what if it’s her 5th vid about to drop, she’s in a better position then kelly right now. I cant wait.

  24. FlopJuice October 9, 2011

    WORK IT MAN 3rd

    TURN IT UP 4th

    DOWN FOR WHATEVER 5th

    single. This would be the right order… Lay It On Me has more Sean than Kelly.

  25. commanderofthedancefloor October 9, 2011

    why the heck did it take so long, the song hasn’t even performed that well, so why wait so long for the video?

    it would be one thing if the song was top 10 but it hasn’t even hit top 20 kelly needs to get it together

  26. lostonez October 9, 2011

    its bout damn time

  27. VFB October 9, 2011

    Yes…Kelly is hot right now!

  28. ChristinasCOMING October 9, 2011

    Honestly I’m excited but couldn’t give a s*** anymore. Kelly should’ve handled this project a lot better and thought things through when she decided to sign onto xfactor. She let this project go to waste and I’m disappointed in her. I love the album but I’m not going to go out and spend almost $15 on somebody’s album if they’re not going to promote or even try to sustain the sales. You’ve got to get out there and convince us why we should buy your album and so on. You can’t just expect us to buy it just because Motivation was a hot song. Anyway I wish the best for her with the next album and hope that she gets her s*** together and actually promotes the damn thing.

  29. MuzikJunkie! October 9, 2011

    I don’t understand what’s going on with Kelly’s project, like for real they need to get it together!

  30. hood_star_06 October 9, 2011

    im excited and ready for it – she did say that this would be a long process and i for one realizes that now – plus based off the fact that she is about to release the uk version with the official 3rd single sometime this month or next then in actuality we are getting 2 videos from her so im good. Plus id rather have singles that are slow and planned versus 8 separate videos released with no real direction so im good – shes pulling a katy perry on us just the urban version – 1 single 1 video then 4 months to marinate and then another single and video with the same formula – that would make a 3 rd single due sometime in january with a possible 4th in may 2012 for the US and something similar in the UK culminating in her tour for Spring 2012 – i for one will be ready – hell im glad that her team chose a second single and stuck with it (we all know how ms kelly went down) so im ready plus the video looks serious! lay it on me ohhhhhh lay it on me!!!! WORK!!!

  31. BeBeJuJu October 9, 2011

    OK,i may be alone on this one BUT,WHY DO I HAVE THE STRONGEST FEELING THAT @S*** AND @THE GREAT LACEFRONCE KNOW EACH OTHER,OR BETTER YET STILL,ARE *GASPS* THE SAME PERSON!!! thing is i actually like s***(but your stanning can be a bit much lol,but i’ve told u how hilarious u are before) same with lacefronce’s hating self! like i actually chuckle at some of the comments he/she makes! but hmmm…IDK there is something about the way these 2 comment that is very similar. idk,*hides behind weave before i get attacked by both parties* 😀
    anyway,back on topic,YAS,i’m still waiting for the video 🙂

  32. JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA October 9, 2011

    Ummmm this video was supposed to be out already !
    Soooo now..nobody`s excited anymore 🙂 !

  33. tyra October 9, 2011

    @pop royalty u dead wrong for that comment that was funny as hell

  34. jamie October 9, 2011

    Bottomline is, Kelly is waaaaay more talented than Rhianna: therefore, you all should never comment.

  35. charlie October 9, 2011

    Kelly is just to much for me. I rooted for her but she’s just a mess. This whole album from its conception has been nothing but messy. I forgot she even released that damn Here I Am album…. Chile…. Hang if up boo do reality shows some minor club tours. Release a single/video for soundtracks etc. No more albums until you can follow a f****** reasonable schedule! Because Miss b**** this s*** right here, IS NOT WORKING!!

  36. Beyoncekelly2012 October 9, 2011

    THE WHOLE IDUSTRY has gone to s***. Don’t blame the artists for marketing, promo, and delays- IT ain’t on them

    Jive , Arista and J records just folded….

  37. mhud October 9, 2011

    i am so ready for queen kelly rowland’s new video to drop.she is the best

  38. 9bandedosaz October 9, 2011

    Kelly isn’t the only artist on Universal Label. To a great xtent what she does depends on the budget for her project. She is in UK as of now where she is relevant! It doesnt matter where the Album is sold, so long as it’s sold! incase u didnt know, she is a Judge in UK’s biggest Talent Show. Down for Whatever will b released in the UK on the 31st of October with a Video to b served similarly. She is building her Fanbase now. She is doing her thang so stop tha Hating!

  39. Sheesh October 9, 2011

    She’s announcing a premiere date like someone was checking for it. -_- She’s not Beyonce.

  40. antertain October 9, 2011

    I will enjoy the video no doubt and think she’ll be great BUT its taken way to long to bring back life to the US album sales.

    I’m just now focussed on Kelly as the UK X-factor judge. She been GREAT so far.

    Fortunately (Money & X-factor) & Unfortunately (Album) all the options and doors came at the same time for Kelly and we know what side suffered for it.

    At least she making that money

  41. social1 October 9, 2011

    Looking forward to seeing it.

  42. talk that weave October 9, 2011

    kelly must learn from rihanna…..even tho rih has no talent, she has the most ridiculous, focused, driven and disciplined team ever. i think “we found love” is proof that her team is “boss”. how cud kelly be on x factor when she has an album out?? she must learn that when u have an album out, U HAVE TO PUT ALL ASIDE AND FOCUS ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she seems she is not focused and seems like she had no clear vision of the album…..like she just released it coz motivation was doin well and added some random tracks for fill the album

    J COLE ( a new cat) had a clear schedule and world tour 2 months before his album was even released. he is going worldwide headlining his own already…..sad that kelly is just randomly performing….learn from COLE AND RIH

    peace

  43. Chile Please!! October 9, 2011

    WTF! I mean really?? She should’ve been dropped this video along with about 2 other videos…..IMO this album was wack….she could’ve did much better. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ wake me up when it’s over!

  44. Lay It On Me October 9, 2011

    Finally!!! Geeshhh… it’s been too long!

  45. LOL October 9, 2011

    notice how the first comment is a beyonce stan lol smh

  46. muni October 9, 2011

    Im ready bring it on!! haters u mad?

  47. VivaLaOnyx October 9, 2011

    DAMN!! Why all the hating tho? But anywhore, I know I damn sure cnt wait!! #TeamKelly

  48. Teairra October 9, 2011

    umm forgot all about her and her album!!

  49. why you mad? October 9, 2011

    I’m a fan but it’s about time. I wonder how it will be premiered?

  50. jerzydiva October 9, 2011

    I love Kelly…. but honestly I’m over it. I love the album but I hate that it has been 7 months since her “Motivation” and 2 and 1/2 months since the release of the album and we have to wait for a 2nd single…..? I mean whatever formula she’s following is confusing to me. I know she supposed to be releasing other vids, but like everyone says, she should be on video 3 or 4 by now…. but I will still watch it…. just not that excited about it anymore….

  51. cocodior3069 October 9, 2011

    Okay everyone my belief on the “Here I Am” project is this. I don’t think Universal or any company for that manner are concerned with album sales its all about singles. Especially over here in the states. I also think the main emphasis is about building the Brand of Kelly. Thats why she is already at work on another album due in spring. Stop hating people “Here I AM’ still has potential to sale. Once X-factor ends and more touring here in the U.S . I expect this is only the beginning! Also Kelly had a platinum plus single of the project and the album is at 200,000 and counting.

  52. Lebo(CAribbeanBoi) October 9, 2011

    GO KELLYY !!!

  53. SipDatBoyz October 9, 2011

    It’s funny how the VERY first people to comment on this post were the ones saying they are not excited about it’s release..OBVIOUSLY you are…smh stop being haters and SUPPORT OUR BLACK ARTISTS.!

  54. Clark Smith October 9, 2011

    I am against nudity and half-nudity of anything other than curvy women, so no. Sorry. Kelly’s a little skinny for my taste and I’m just not into shirtless men. (I’m straight) I like the song though.

  55. Steph October 9, 2011

    Yes TGJ, the countdown begins! #TeamKelly…okay off to the scorpion show to watch his coverage.

  56. EightiesBaby8030 October 9, 2011

    Finally!! Roll on Wednesday!

    Speaking as a Kelly fan, I’m not even mad at the people complaining about the promotion for this album. I don’t think they’re hatin at all. You have to remember that the Motivation video premiered half a year ago! Nevertheless, I’m still rooting for my girl!!

  57. Lola October 9, 2011

    Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss….

  70. X,Y,”and Z” October 10, 2011

    A FEW QUESTIONS FOR KELLY ROWLAND’S..”ROWDOGS”:

    It’s been 8-LOOOONG weeks since “Here I am” has been released and it’s only moved some “less-than 170K” U.S. retail-units. That said, I have a question for all you “Rowdogs”: “What happened..??”

    You “Rowdogs” have been saying..”Just you wait/Big things are in store” (or some ‘said variant’ for some time now).

    I’ve closely examined her sales/chart history, Kelly Rowland has never “been worthy”, nor “delivered”; at least, NOT here in the U.S. :

    2002 – ‘Simply Deep’ U.S. 77K – First Week/600K in-total, and 2-Million WW – her BEST selling album to date. Now, mind you, this was 2002, and was released upon the news of DC’s break-up (temporary?), which gave the CD serious “buzz/push”!

    2007 – ‘Ms. Kelly’ U.S. 86.7K – First Week/222,000 in-total, and 1.1-Million WW.

    2011 – ‘Here I am’ 77k – First Week, and the said pathetic, “current less-than 170K”.

    The, aforementioned, aren’t “MY” numbers! They weren’t “conjured up” in “fits of hate and slander.” They’re HER numbers! Don’t y’all see a trend/pattern here? No? Well, let me help you: Kelly Rowland’s “better years” are WELL behind her. They’ve past, some (almost) TEN YEARS AGO:2002!

    “Here I am” is NOW available to U.K. buyers via ‘Amazon U.K.’, it’s been so for weeks now. The ‘U.K., per capita’, does the most online shopping – BTW. So where’s her “chart presence”, seen as though her “U.K. Rowdogs” are just rabid with anticipation? ..NONEXISTANT, that’s where..!! You say: “You’re hating/lying”; you don’t believe me? Well, have a look for yourselves: http://www.theofficialcharts.com/albums-chart/

    I’m waiting with great anticipation for this month’s U.K. release of “Here I am”. “Why”, you ask? Well, someone (me!) has to put an end to her misery, and relieve y’all of that “veil of ignorance” that now muddies thy sighs!

    Now I ask: How many times does 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland get to “bite at the apple”? How does she get to “gracefully” ‘fail upwards’?

    X,Y,”and Z”

  71. Lola October 10, 2011

    XYZ Shut The F*** Up! =)

  72. shavonta October 10, 2011

    ilyy thiss songg

  73. Me October 10, 2011

    I like Kelly and I bought and like the album, but she’s clearly one of those people who put the needs and success of other’s before her own.

  74. Laurie October 10, 2011

    Kelly needs to hurry the hell up ! we are 7 months post motivation music video firstcame out !!! it’s not serious at all knowing the fact she pushed back her album so many times, with 2 years of preparation for an album to be release this is not acceptable as much as I love Kelly it isn’t acceptable

  75. lele October 10, 2011

    Not really, but I would like to see the video. I love kelly, but honey let’s go. Put your foot to the pedal. I ‘m sorry for dropping beyonce, but this woman is pregnant and has how many videos out or ready to be out? ‘countdown’,’1+1′,’love top’,’best thing I never had’, ‘RTW’,what else? she’s making sure she get’s all these videos ready before she gets real huge and unable to perform at her best (what heck the woman could be 14 months pregnant & still performing 🙂 ). Come on Ms. kelly you need more than 2 singles. Bey putting you to shame.

  76. lele October 10, 2011

    Bey is the hardest working woman in the music business.

  77. lele October 10, 2011

    Bey is the hardest working woman in the music business. preggers & still pushing videos & performances. dang. respect.

  78. williNalli October 11, 2011

    LOL at all those on here who pretend that they’re not dying to see the video premiere tomorrow. Y’all a mess. I fuckz with this chick any day all day…Can’t wait. I ‘on think i’ma sleep…seriously 🙂
