Kelly Rowland Unveils New Album Promo Pics

Published: Tuesday 9th Oct 2012 by Sam

Last year saw Kelly Rowland dominate Urban radio with mega-selling ‘Motivation’. Now, with new cut ‘Ice’ shaping up to do the same, the Destiny’s Child graduate had unwrapped new promotional shots for its housing album.

Due early next year, the LP  features production from the likes of Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Rico Love, Da Internz,  Sean Garrett, Lonny Bereal, T. Mills. and more.

Presently without an announced title, Rowland has been tweeting the letters #YOTW for the last few weeks. Hmm…

Your  thoughts?

    “Ice” has generated no buzz

    By the looks of these pics, Kelly will make another “mediocre” album and it will crack the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, only to fall out of the entire chart within a month.

    • IDK October 9, 2012

      Besides your mediocre comment, thats still good.

      • CALL ME HATERRRRRRR October 9, 2012

        THIS COMMENT IS SOOO TRUE….”ICE” HAS MADE PEOPLE VERY SLEEPY…AND THIS PICS LOOKS A LITTLE “LOVE ON TOP”VIDEO BEY TO ME!!!! UMMM DID ANYONE CTATCH THAT
        KELLY NEEDS HER OWN SWAG CUZ SHE HAS NONE
        AS TALENTED AS SHE IS, SHE STILL HASNT CREATED HER OWN LANE

    • Matthew Charlery-Smith October 9, 2012

      Hmmm, can’t really disagree there. Rihanna managed 4 (if not 5) certified singles of TTT and that went uncovered by TGJ, but kelly has 1 Platinum single and she’s onto a “mega-seller” (after “We Found Love” went 4 X Platinum)?

      “Here I Am” was “Where Am I” and was a commercial embarrassment. It’s only saving grace being “Motivation” wasn’t so great as Kelly had to sell s** to get a hit and “glue” Lil’ Wayne on it…

      “Ice” has melted into a puddle of water and needs to evaporate. These pics don’t match what she tried to do with that single.

      Anyway, let’s wait and see…

      • CALL ME HATERRRRRRR October 9, 2012

        LMAOOOOO THIS IS HILARIOUSLY SOOOOOO TRUE

        ICE HAS MELTED INTO A PUDDLE OF WATERR LMAO!!!!!

    • Öz Firdevs October 9, 2012

  5. D.Scott October 9, 2012

    Ah, Year Of The Woman could be it. Word to Ne-Yo…

  6. me October 9, 2012

    dear kelly

    find ur sound and stick wit it coz trying to follow the crowd still wont work this time. also…you have been thru a lot, why not talk about that than just about s**?
    where is the song about ur relationship with ur father, about low self esteem that you went thru, about trying to fit in, about being a woman in hollywood, about living under someone’s shadow etc?

    u r stronger than u think you are. write songs that reveal everything and u will win a grammy. otherwise, as long as u sell s** then turn around and say “i aint selling s**”, u wont happen

    I love u. Ur fan SOUTH AFRICA

    • Matthew Charlery-Smith October 9, 2012

      I said the EXACT same thing last year! Considering her reconciliation with LeToya and La Tavia, independence from Mathew Knowles, subsequent fall out with Bey and Michelle due to that and her experiences since including her relationship with her dad. But all we got was “Motivation”, “I’m That Chick” and “Down For Whatever”. Artists with no depth hit shallow sales.

      Laughing at her/your comment about “I ain’t selling s**…but lay it on me!”

      • Damani Mckie October 9, 2012

        SHE HAD A FALL OUT WITH BEYONCE & MICHELLE ???

  7. kelly October 9, 2012

    I think she is really ugly. I have never found dark skin women pretty. This LP will flop.

    • truth October 9, 2012

      you r a f****** idiot

    • RG2 October 9, 2012

      RACIST ASS-HOLE. YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN SOMEONE B/C OF YOUR SKIN COLOR WHICH MAKES YOU IGNORANT. PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE THE WORLD AN EVIL PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR.

    • That B*tch (I can’t with these delusional stans) October 9, 2012

      Aren’t you half black? This is how I know ur a white male. That ish would never even be thought of by a person that was mixed race.

      • kelly October 9, 2012

        I am mixed. Many mixed race get hate from jealous dark skin women, so we know that they are jealous cos we have good hair, nice light skin and light eyes. Not to mention nice small noses.

        Take Halle berry: she only dated mixed, light men or white men. Her kid is white looking, halle Did not want a dark skin girl. I am not cool with black girls, I only rolll with white, mixed, latina, Persian and asian chicks. It LA – All these groups avoid hating black women with a passion.

      • That B*tch (I can’t with these delusional stans) October 9, 2012

        Im sorry Kel but Im still not understanding you. You avoid black women yet you’re fave is a black girl with a wide nose and nappy hair.

      • kelly October 9, 2012

        rih is not dark skin. Her dad is mixed; she is light with green eyes.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) October 9, 2012

        @ThatBitch Trust me, that ish she is going on about is completely apparent in some black communties, they thrive to be like whites and hate blacks.

      • That B*tch (I can’t with these delusional stans) October 9, 2012

        @ Kelly
        That doesn’t change her race. You have no valid reasonto hate black women.

        @ Benron
        I know and that’s a shame. Coming from a mixed race girl (I consider myself black though), I would never think any of that stuff about black people considering a lot of my family members are full black.

    • LDC October 9, 2012

      Eat a d***, you internet attention-seeker, you. My guess is that a dark skinned woman beat the s*** out of you once upon a time…and that you wouldn’t have the nerve to get in the face of one spewing this nonsense, so you come here to do it…where you’re “safe.” How does it feel to have jello where a spine is supposed to be?

    • Shymir06 October 9, 2012

      Stop feeding this lonely idiot’s thirst for attention. “Kelly” probably doesn’t hang out with anyone of any skin complexion in real life. Two to one says TGJ is her only means of social interaction.

  8. Matthew Charlery-Smith October 9, 2012

    Well, at least she’s wearing clothes this time and that’s great to see, Klassy Kelly Kool!

    I’m not sure if the rigidity and angular-ness of the logo matches the classic-ness of the clothes she’s wearing. She did say Motown has influenced this era though so well see if this is the beginning of it.

    As for the website…looks ok, a bit bland and I hate to say…BEYONCE’S IS BETTER!

    Oh well, wigs and heels won’t sell music nor bring sales so as Kelly doesn’t rely on those hopefully she’ll BRING the music AND the voice! Hopefully Donna Summer and Whitney’s deaths have inspired her to make music worthy of her predecessors respect.

  9. Truth October 9, 2012

    YAY Kelly!!!! – I love her- F*** YOU NOBODYS- SHE GETTIN PAID-

    Whether album sales or singles as with Rihanna, s*** dont matter but the goddamn check. And she gets those. STFU

    YEAR OF THE WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. DOSSOME October 9, 2012

    I Love kelly,but she should take notes from her bff brandy on how to work your ass off to get your name back on the map…

    • Diva October 9, 2012

      Speaking of Brandy startters or whatever the hell u call yourselves need to keep your mouths shut! I figured you guys would be on here spewing hate towards Ms. Kelly! I cannot wait to see Brandys album sales at the end of next week cause u guys talk alot of trash! Instead of worrying about Kelly u need to be buying ya girl album and singles… & the last time checked Kelly has a successful R&B single out along with 3 features Sean Paul, Big Boi and Ludacris! Also she has her on sit com coming out next year. The last time I check she’s the hottest female artist out right now. As for Brandy she’s just gettin back into the music industry and no one knows she has an album coming out accept for those who stay on twiiter all day.

      • credits October 9, 2012

        LOL ‘human’ sold more than ‘here i am’. i love Kelly Rowland and i really want to see her succeed but i would never try to justify her position in the industry by bringing up her so-called ‘success’. She hasn’t reached her potential, she hasn’t peaked yet and one day her time will come. But until then, let’s not try to compare her to Brandy 40 million worldwide Norwood.

      • KNUCK October 9, 2012

        Dead… These girls have NO receipts trying to come for Queen Brandy!

      • Diva October 9, 2012

        TELL ME THIS>>>>>> WHY R U ON A KELLY POST??????? And tell me this who is coming for Brandy???? I’m not studden Brandy nor either of you! Why would you guys come on a Kelly post hate on her bcuz she’s releasing her promotional shots??? U guys really need to find something better to do bcuz u look like fools! Kelly went as far as tweeting about Brandys performance on twitter so why would u guys come in here and attack her friend? I don’t care how many records brandy have sold. kelly has sold just as much with Destiny’s Child. Don’t think you can just come on a post that SAYS KELLY ROWLAND then talk trash. As a stan I will not let tht slide honey….. just know don’t come for my fav or I will come for yours! Oh trust me u dnt want me to come for avatar! lol!

    • Absolved October 9, 2012

      Funny, considering “Motivation” was a bigger hit than anything Brandy has had in a decade. Brandy’s career right now is NOT what anyone should be trying to emulate.

    • Emptytvr October 9, 2012

      Brandy’s name is back on the map? News to me. This blog is pretty much the only place I see talking about her. She’s a thousand miles away from the name value she had in the 90s.

  11. Nookie October 9, 2012

    Kelly kelly..Lawd the chile can seem to get it right all i have to say is she is lucky her mom cleaned for the knowls she would be Kalandria Tranae Rowland from the southside of houston…i think she better bring it or else…its like everything she does fails: albums, x factor, australian dance show with that Just-fail Durillo …she uses her name from destiny child to stay it. Poor girl maybe she should stick to dance those seem to do OK

    • LO October 10, 2012

      FUNNY HOW YOU SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT HER LIFE U QUEEN!!! GET UR LIFE & HAVE SEVERAL SEATS! BCUZ THE HATE IS EVIDENT!

  12. JJFan1814 October 9, 2012

    S*** CHOCOLATE WOMAN. I LOVE MS. KELLY!

  16. Steph October 9, 2012

    Looking great Kelly! can’t wait….Ice is climbing billboard charts. Team Kelly keep requesting it! Also the new single with Ludacris just entered billboard. Keep going Ms. Rowland.

  17. emmie October 9, 2012

    i dont get why yall hating on kelly and talking bout she is a flop…she has managed so much more and has so much more succes then any of you hating on her from your basementroom behind your computers and talking s*** and act like it really means something…kelly is a urban r&b girl and she does what urban r&b is..she sings about sensual stuff and about love and she is also dancemusic so sings about what dance music should be a feel good time fun and love…Kelly has never been arrogant always been polight and cute..not like other celebs who bigged up their brand mostly due staying in the magazines cause of crazy nonesence crap..she is a black beautifull s*** ass lady…its not like she is acting like a s***..she can get away with the s** thing cause she does it sensual and with certain swag.. keep hatin whatever you want but kelly is the one of the only few out there in the business who is kind gentle and does what she loves and she does great at it..it might not be your taste but to use her and try to burn her down with so much hate cause u have personal issues in your own life…thats just lame and weak yall should be ashamed you are disgusting trying to spread hate for noreason its just disgusting

    • Diva October 9, 2012

      Chiilllee u betta preach!!! These haters r n full affect they just mad cause they know there fav little shine time is almost up…. (I’m not gonna mention any names) but let them talk tho!

      #YOTW #R&B

  19. Jeff October 9, 2012

    I’m sorry but although i loved Motivation and purchased the last album it was dire apart from one other song. Then she had the ordasity to release dry ice which was basically a poor mans motivation from the same artist. I dont really care for the pretty pictures…. for that make a 2013 calender, the music needs to be decent and so if ice is the direction its not looking good.

  20. krys October 9, 2012

    J’adore Kelly! mais j’aimerais tellement revoir les destiny’s child! ca reste un rêve mais bon! j’espère qu’un jour elle auras la reconaissance! elle le mérite !
    “baby i could be yor motivation! go! go! go! go!”

  23. MusicLova October 9, 2012

    I dont get the Janet comments with these pics. If anything I would say Janelle Monet. & as for her direction so far I’m lovin it other than her not havin a video out yet for Ice. She’s on Luda’s new single, Big Boi’s new single, & Sean Paul’s single featuring her will debut its video here soon. Ice is doin well on the charts so imagine if there was a video. It could very well be in the top 5 by now. If she uses her head she will go wit this & let her music follow. The album isnt due til next year so she can let this music do the talkin for now. But bring it. She has the talent. That’s no question. But she lacks the total package as far as the confidence she says she has but fails to display performance wise as a solo artist. Get off your ass & show us why u were in one of the biggest groups ever & make Whitney & Donna proud.

    • williNalli October 9, 2012

      the Sean Paul video is already out.

    • Dave October 10, 2012

      I was with you till talked about confidence & performance. Here I Am screams confidence, now as far as with pushing her career sure. & her performing, Have you seen her perform “Motivation”? Kelly can perform her b*** off. Even when she was in DC, “Lose My Breath”

  24. RUDE NAVY October 9, 2012

    is this MYA ?!

  25. Diva October 9, 2012

    Like I was starting to say…. the photos r so chic, vintage and beautiful, I love the black and white. Also these r not promotional shots these r just photos from her new website. Where r u guys getting your information from.

  26. ENOUGH ONIKA October 9, 2012

    Huh, Kelly girl. You need to cancel this album release and just deem it a mixtape, and while that’s generating a little urban buzz you need to FIRE your whole entire team and start new. This lack of promo and spontaneous appearances has gone on long enough. If you’re not taking your music career seriously anymore, ok cool, your prerogative. But don’t keep promising fans material and this big album campaign that never happens. Just say your making music for fun and do you, but the lazy, mediocre work ethic needs to go. I’m BARELY interested in anything you do from here on out..

    • LO October 10, 2012

      WHAT THE HELL R U TALKING? WHEN WAS SHE EVER LAZY WITH PROMO? THE REASON SHE COULDNT PROMOTE HERE I AM AS MUCH WAS BCUZ OF XFACTOR ! & WHEN YOU SAY PROMO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? NOW DAYS PROMOTING IS VIRAL, INTERNET ETC… THE STREETS WILL RESPOND IF THEY LIKE IT. ITS SAD THAT YOU DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THE GAME WORKS. & IF YOUR BARELY INTERESTED IN KELLY THEN YOU WOULDNT BE WRITING AN ESSAY! THANK YOU & COME AGAIN… : )

  27. Benron (King Of The Navy) October 9, 2012

    This will flop, I did not even know she had an album.

    • LO October 10, 2012

      YOU DIDNT KNOW BCUZ SHE DOESNT HAVE ONE DUMB DUMB! LOL STAY IN THE NAVE PLEASE!

  28. LOURDES October 9, 2012

    Probably “Year Of The Woman,” and her team SUCKS! She laughed @ yall the last time yall complained about her promo. She had the nerve to say, “I didn’t know that there were so many record execs out there. We’re focused on longevity.” WHAT LONGEVITY? Girl! Then you had that WEAK album! Kelly get your live vocals together, hire a new team and get some stronger material. At the route she’s headed, she’ll ALWAYS be in Beyonce’s shadow. *rolls eyes*

  29. williNalli October 9, 2012

    I am SO READY for the #YOTW era…In fact, I was BORN READY 😛

  30. V.I.C. October 9, 2012

  35. yeah i’m bored October 9, 2012

  36. LO October 10, 2012

    LETS ALL BE HONEST!! BECAUSE YOU AINT CHECKING FOR HER ON THIS SITE DONT MEAN THE WORLD AINT! YOU DONT LIKE HER DONT COMMENT. I THINK IT MAKES PEOPLE MAD THAT SHE CONTINUES TO WIN & SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO TWITTER W**** ETC. THIS ISNT EVEN HER GENERATION & SHE STILL CONTINUES TO SUCCEED! SHE IS A CLASS ACT! YES YOU ARE GONNA REFERENCE B IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES & ITS GETTING OLD! SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE BEYONCE YOU F***! SHE IS IN HER OWN LANE!

  37. Sugaboy October 10, 2012

    Kelly does good music but lack in choosing good singles and video delays

  38. kaka October 10, 2012

  42. karla October 11, 2012

    People kill me lol.. these same people will be all over this blog when ice video come out these same people will be herw when the new single come.

    Im not upset because these people are not haters they are just concerned and let down they always talk s*** when kelly isnt promoting but as soon as she makes video or the songs start doing well they jump on the band wagon

    I’ve been on this site for years people have a love hate relationship with kelly. Well yall have no reason to hate. Kelly will deliver ice is frozen its far from melting. Her album will deliver and this era will be her very best and her website is amazing f*** anybody elses!

  43. Erik Aston Washington October 15, 2012

    Great title! The ‘haters’ on this site are all unemployed . . . and need a life.
