New Song: Kelly Rowland – ‘Dirty Laundry’

Published: Wednesday 15th May 2013 by Sam

It’s here!

Kelly Rowland‘s explosive new single ‘Dirty Laundry’ premiered on Power 105.1 moments ago and quite literally must be heard to be believed.

Penned by The-Dream, the narrative driven cut brings a new meaning to the title of its parent album ‘Talk A Good Game’.

 Musically cinematic, the track sees the 32-year-old wax honest about an abusive relationship, Beyonce, and much more.

Hear Kelly air that ‘Dirty Laundry’ after the jump…

Wow! Now that we’ve picked our jaws off the floor…

An unconventional “single” if we’ve ever heard one, the haunting cut is exactly what Kelly needed, yet more so what the industry needs.

All too often acts tell anyone who’ll listen that (insert song) is their most honest to date, only for it to contain 4 words repeated in a different order. However, with ‘Laundry‘ Rowland does one better – and actually follows through.

The sparse production boasts shades of R. Kelly’s ‘Down Low / Double Life’, and creates the soundest of foundations for what is, in essence, a lyrical testimony.

Despite her own solo success, Rowland is routinely (and somewhat disrespectfully) pelted with the “Beyonce” questions; hence what better way to address the media’s demand for drama than addressing it head-on? Add to this, the shocking tale of abuse and the desire to know who “Kelly Rowland” really is and what her experiences have been is fulfilled in earnest.

Again, not the most obvious of singles. Yet, it’s this very fact (along with the song’s clever wordplay and shock factor) that should see this a fixture on radio. Indeed, it demands many a play to really “get” the magnitude of what’s been relayed — a great look given the fast-approaching release of its parent album on June 18th. Kudos Kelly, kudos.

  3. Super Cisus May 15, 2013

    Another flop for Horselly Flopland

    • Heauxsitdown May 15, 2013

      Shut the f*** up. You are a Ciara stan. The LAST thing you can talk about is a flop. Heaux, BE SEATED on a lit cigarette.

      • JER May 15, 2013

        DEAD @ lit cigarette

      • come on and get back to music May 15, 2013

        seriously this isn’t the type of song to have a stan war on. this is some serious s*** not something to say ciara is wack or whatever. i don’t think she made this song to care about sales. this was thearpy for her,and their are a lot of women rather you guys like to admit it or not that can relate. when you have people trying to pull you out and you just can’t it’s scary this year alone there were thousands of women murdered by either a crazy ex or their current boyfriend/husband . there have been kids murdered with their mother and then the guy kills himself. let’s talk about those issues rather than argue about well your fav sucks and at least she doing this better than her or her. like lets hold off on the fan war just for this post. i know it’s hard to not be petty but i think it’s kind of necessary. maybe tell something you have a problem with and someone on here can give some advice. like this site is always about hating on each other in the name of your fav but what about having just one post that’s about lifting each other up and being a good person in the name of yourself. I’ll start my name is LAURA FISHER AND MY DIRTY LAUNDRY IS I SURVIVED A SHOT GUN SHOT TO THE SHOULDER BY AN ABUSIVE EX WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE AND GO BACK TO MY KIDS FATHER. and i still can’t trust anyone enough to let them in and i damn sure don’t see myself living with another man. because i never know when or if he’ll switch into a monster.

      • FAF May 15, 2013

        Ciara latest song is top 40. #No flop Hurr

        she has 2 solo albums that are multi platinum, one thats #1 a 7 week #1 single

        3 ascaps

        1 Billboard woman of the yr

        1 vma
        1 Bet Award
        1 Grammy

        As a SOLO act !

    • Tamara May 15, 2013

      It’s not a flop, because she’s sharing the truth to her fans, basically laying her hear down on the line and getting rid of some past demons, she’s expressing herself and that’s what music is all about so..

      Girl bye.

      • Maestro J May 15, 2013

        How can a CI-ERROR fan dare come out of their mouth and call any other artist a FLOP true or not
        THIS IS THE SAME CI-ERROR who dropped 5 (YES FIVE) Singles from an album that NEVER WAS hmph… now if that aint a flop IDK what is …

    • kellyisqeen May 16, 2013

      DON’T BRING YOUR GRANNY INTO THIS F***

    • WE LOVE YOU KELLY!!! May 16, 2013

      like y’all really have some nerve…ugh…i can’t

  4. Alex May 15, 2013

    This is such an honest record by her. It’s already brought so many people to tears. It takes so much courage to release a single like this. Her life is basically on this song. AMAZING.

    • KRowlandStone May 15, 2013

      I wanna crying…fight….crumble….be strong….all at the same time….

  7. Heauxsitdown May 15, 2013

    Reminds me of a 90’s/early 2000’s R. Kelly song. I don’t know about this being a single, but it’s hot. I love how she put EVERYTHING out there! Most HONEST song I’ve heard in a while! You’ve won me over Kelly! I think I’ll be copping that album next month!

  8. Loyalty May 15, 2013

    Wow. She was an open book in that. I loved it. Good job Kelly.

      • RIRI sLAY May 15, 2013

        punk your opinion is not needed.. kelly did it.. Goodjob

    • EnRanc May 15, 2013

      lol everybody hate your ass. Even your fellow Rihanna fans are telling you to have a seat.

      Do you fit in ANYWHERE? LOL

      • HOTSTUFF May 15, 2013

        LOL Heaux i fit in right in the modafukin NAVY cause i stan for Rihanna. But you tried though ! #DEAL

  12. Musik_Lover May 15, 2013

    Kudos Kelly!

  13. HOTSTUFF May 15, 2013

    but i really don’t know why ‘ice’ was a flop though, it was good, the video was on point….she doesn’t support her singles enough (although most of them are boiling flops and can’t be saved, some actually have potential like the aforementioned)

    • RoyalKev May 15, 2013

      I have to agree with you on this one. Ice is my favorite Kelly single and I think that one should have done even better than Motivation.

    • RIRI sLAY May 15, 2013

      She dont promote her stuff..smfh i heard high hopes for ice but no promotion.

  14. boldblond May 15, 2013

    I need lyrics.I guess and hope she’s gonna win with this one

  15. Kev May 15, 2013

    Wow we haven’t heard any artist open up this much on a song in awhile … Proud of her

    • WE LOVE YOU KELLY!!! May 15, 2013

      that’s why we love her so much…

  16. lace May 15, 2013

    This was such a raw and honest record you don’t how much this record will help women and gel people relate with her much more #teamkelly

    • Beauty Queen May 15, 2013

      it’s gonna take me a LONG time to recover from this….VERY LONG

  17. GH May 15, 2013

    I must say I was not expecting this, considering the title of the song and the recent singles. And after several s** singles, I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see that this one is different. The realness of this song is amazing. I’m sure it will strike a chord with lots of people. You go Kelly! I applaud you for having the courage to be so transparent on this one! Must have taken some strength. Looking forward to hearing the whole album!

  18. AscendedPhoenix May 15, 2013

    I freaking love this.!!! This is the Kelly I’ve been waiting for.!!!!! I’m so sad she dealt with all of that.!!!! I KNEW SHE HAD A STORY TO TELL.!!!!
    I am a die hard Cara fan, and I don’t understand why is it so hard for Rihanna, Bey, and other Ci fans to give credit.!!

    • RIRI sLAY May 15, 2013

      am a riri stan… i respect this record…

  19. xedos May 15, 2013

    It’s a song people will listen to because it’s like gossip,but not a song people will buy

    • Anne May 15, 2013

      I agree. The story that she is divulging will peak everyone’s interest at first but once they’ve heard the whole story I don’t know if it is the type of song that you’ll want to play or hear over and over. It’s not a “that’s my song/jam” type of song. Good for her for being brave enough to go there though; maybe that was her only mission in the first place.

      • the best dancer May 15, 2013

        yeah ….. but it is a good buzz single for the cd…. remember she already got 2 singles..

        she just need to do some performances of ICE & KISSES on BET/ TV rtc… before album release.

        she is also doing a tour ….

        she will win this era

    • Anne May 15, 2013

      I agree, I think the story that she is revealing will peak everyone’s interest at first. But I don’t know if it’s the type of song that people will want to hear over and over. It’s not the “that’s my song/jam” type of song. But kudos to her for ‘going there’; maybe that was her only goal with the song.

  20. Lana Del Slay May 15, 2013

    OMG. She said it all.

  21. joker May 15, 2013

    i might wanna be different and say those deep and personal real talk songs are no good single material for upcoming albums. they have their place on the album for a special time, but… what do i wanna feel like listening to on the radio daily. music makes the mood. and should be good.

    soundwise this’ okey. voice is filtered a lil. *shrugs*

  22. tenitra michelle williams May 15, 2013

    Refreshing. I was so tired of the songs about her genitals. Loving the 90’s tease. And do I see a Ciara fan talking about a flop? Ciara is irrelevant these days. She’s 30 years old still singing schoolyard recess chants. GTFOH!!!

    • Dave May 15, 2013

      Sure….with a single that debuted @ #35 on Billboard Hot 100, and it still charted higher than any of Kelly’s singles from this era. I love both Kelly and Ciara, don’t do it. And Ciara solo has sold more records than Kelly worldwide, don’t do it.

    • Sevyn Streeter May 15, 2013

      Body party>>>>>>all of Kelly’s flop singles

      • goodjobk May 15, 2013

        Kelly’s Voice on a bad day>>>>>>>Ciara’s career

  23. King B>Rihanna May 15, 2013

    i love this song….this what i wanted from Kelly.

    • RIRI sLAY May 15, 2013

      when is beyhoe gounf to drop a single.. she is scared stay is slayying the chat..

  24. Kisses Dow Low May 15, 2013

  25. charlie May 15, 2013

    very nice – quite charming- and the honesty is a nice change

  26. Cam May 15, 2013

    Im still in awwweeeee . Tears . I have so much more respect for Kelly. This just not what I was expecting from Kelly or from Dirty Laundry !!! but congrats . The song is real !!! and everybody can relate to real !!!!!

    • Kelz May 15, 2013

      yes…its really raw

  27. Mhud May 15, 2013

    OMG…….I’m in tears…..I love my baby so much…..This song is a winner for real.

  28. jason May 15, 2013

    Kinda like an album track though. Not sure this should have been a single.

    Its kinda like Side Effects on Mariah E=MC2

  29. DANIEL T May 15, 2013

    Wow!! It doesn’t get much really than this!! So so so proud of Kelly for sayin everything she says on that record!!

  30. Joan May 15, 2013

    This was not about getting a platinum single this was about something real so take all the b******* flop stuff somewhere else she could of released a song that radio would of ate up but she decided to be real with herself and her fans and just put it all out there and for that i commend a kudos to Kelly

  31. HeadBarbInCharge May 15, 2013

    This is boring and will FLOP bwahahahahaha
    Kelly will forever be beyonce shadow DEAL

    • Chillin May 15, 2013

      just how you will be stuck behind your computer getting fat and being envious of everyone..#DEAL

  32. dunk May 15, 2013

    what a fantastic and honest cut, my res[pect level for her as anrtist has just gone through the roof!!!

  33. LUV MUSIC May 15, 2013

    i love it.talk a good game babe.so honest she came about.

  34. Lebothegame May 15, 2013

    WOW!! Just beautiful Kelz ….

  35. Mateo May 15, 2013

    It would be dope if Beyonce, michelle and the other EX members of DC were to release a Dirty Laundry remix in response! That would be juicy! LOL Loved this song…I still feel like she was holding back…could be that there are several parts to this song? only time will tell.

    • therealjaylee May 15, 2013

      That would be good-but You know bey ain’t gone do that lol. She is “School of Matthew Knowles Media Training” enstilled.

  36. F.A.N May 15, 2013

    WOW! This song is so open and honest.
    I wouldn’t expect fans of Rihanna or the other pop stars to get it.
    I mean they love songs with surface meaning, but nothing that makes you think. I.E why Rated R is held in such high esteem.
    Great song Kelly!! Simple yet powerful lyrics.
    I see you Dream! Turnt needs to be released also

    • Dray May 16, 2013

      What are you TALKING about? The NAVY is here for Kelly!! We are only saying that she needs to grow a spine and quit letting Bey sabaogue her career. I want to see Kelly WIN and until she can remove herself from being shaded by the QUEEN MOSQUITO then she will not shine like she should. I think she was the best singer in the trio is truth be told. . .so you need to quit with that Navy versus Kells because it ain’t happening. You looking at the wrong group. . ..looks over at Cierror’s “squad”. Chhhhhhhh

  37. Cici Slaaaaays May 15, 2013

    This is boring next

  38. Cici Slaaaaays May 15, 2013

  40. Britney Stan May 15, 2013

    All her songs the era are lukewarm none really stick out.. This song isnt it

    Beyonce shadow needs to try again

  41. Forgetmenot May 15, 2013

    • Kelz May 15, 2013

      hating much?

  48. PAT May 15, 2013

    wow…im speechless…loved her honesty….this is what music is about. Very 90’s. When artists used to give u personal retrospectives musically and not just recycled trash for the next hit.
    I dont’ think this is supposed to be a single anyway, but trust me it will certainly serve its purpose. The buzz that mainstream media will give this and the respect as an individual that will garner her new fans.

    • Anne May 15, 2013

      It’s her latest SINGLE.

  49. Rochelle May 15, 2013

    Really Ciara stans are hating this early in the morning till this day Kisses Down Low still has sold more singles the Body PArty so facts are facts right Can we please let Ciara get a number one record this era before we start hating o wait shes to worried about Rihanna, this is this woman’s story how the f*** can you hate on that exactly you cant

Call her what you want but she is an international brand, how many stars go to Dubai and have thousands standing in line falling out, same in the UK and Australia. Hmmm!!!! Kim will be around when many of these people that you all are stanning for are gone and out of site.

    I’m glad she went hard on this song, completely opposite of what I was expecting BUT I still don’t think this should be a single. Kelly got her grown b**** on with the lyrics but the train stops there.

  61. BEYSUS OVER JESUS May 15, 2013

      smh….the ignorance

  64. Lovebird May 15, 2013

    Kelly Rowland is a good artist but I feel she’s been unable to recreate motivation. This song is not good at all and sounds unfinished. Not good enough miss Rowland.

    • Kelz May 15, 2013

      she’s not trying to recreate motivation. she’s giving something different

    • YessKelly May 16, 2013

      motivation???? What does this have to do with that?

    • WE LOVE YOU KELLY!!! May 16, 2013

      why would you use the name of a talented and humble artist as your username, and of all things to utter such words? smh

  66. SxVGE May 15, 2013

    Was expecting something like “Motivation” with the beat and name from the teaser video.
    But other than that this is very good, I have nothing but respect for her with this song.

  67. Jlover May 15, 2013

  70. come on and get back to music May 15, 2013

    seriously this isn’t the type of song to have a stan war on. this is some serious s*** not something to say ciara is wack or whatever. i don’t think she made this song to care about sales. this was thearpy for her,and their are a lot of women rather you guys like to admit it or not that can relate. when you have people trying to pull you out and you just can’t it’s scary this year alone there were thousands of women murdered by either a crazy ex or their current boyfriend/husband . there have been kids murdered with their mother and then the guy kills himself. let’s talk about those issues rather than argue about well your fav sucks and at least she doing this better than her or her. like lets hold off on the fan war just for this post. i know it’s hard to not be petty but i think it’s kind of necessary. maybe tell something you have a problem with and someone on here can give some advice. like this site is always about hating on each other in the name of your fav but what about having just one post that’s about lifting each other up and being a good person in the name of yourself. I’ll start my name is LAURA FISHER AND MY DIRTY LAUNDRY IS I SURVIVED A SHOT GUN SHOT TO THE SHOULDER BY AN ABUSIVE EX WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE AND GO BACK TO MY KIDS FATHER. and i still can’t trust anyone enough to let them in and i damn sure don’t see myself living with another man. because i never know when or if he’ll switch into a monster. I hope someone will be real and be there stan war hat aside

    • Dray May 16, 2013

      . . and don’t forget backstabbing bishes didn’t make this abuse any easier. . . .Just saying. . .we all know who screwed Kelly over.

  71. mr.m May 15, 2013

    We all KNEW Thiefyonce is a NASTY B****!!
    She never let ANYONE form DC3 outshines her
    She sang almost everything .. They were back-up
    She used the “group” to survive into the industry
    Which she would NEVER be able is be recognized
    With Whitney, Mariah and Toni being the biggest names
    .. Brandy and Monica ruling it at the time
    + Late 90’s Brit and Xtina OWNING the mainstream
    And DC were an OPENING ACT for Xtina’s fist tour lol
    She waited for the right moment to play solo
    And left Kelly and Michelle with NOTHING from DC discography.. SAD.LOL
    There you go HIVE .. YOUR FAV IS A W****
    #TRUTH #FACT #DEAL

    • come on and get back to music May 15, 2013

      can’t say i didn’t try. I guess people are going to hide behind the fan war instead of face the real problems. f*** the who does what better how can you relate to this song who do you know that needs help with getting out of a situation like this. when and what can you do to help them, and what can be done about these abused victims. that’s what the comments should be about. stop looking out pointing that finger and look within your circle and yourself.

      • mr.m May 15, 2013

    This is tue example of fear. These hate comments are the very definition of
    Being afriad of someones success. But yall type in caps flop,fail,boring and makeup corny name all day. You and the media can twist this story till your fingers bleed. But that wont stop the millions of people wigood sense who will Cry and relate to this. So yes bloggers,commentors and news reporters. Be very afriad because this will not be the last time you hear this so called `boring’ song.

    You will get used to hearing and seeing the Name Kelly rowland.
    As I said this isnt 2002 kelly had had hit songs outside of delimma. With work,when love takes over,Motivation. Kisses down low and ice have sold units they went top 10 this song is buzzing like beez in a honey cone.
    She will be the only black female artist be a.judge.on X.factor in both countries. She has her

    • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 15, 2013

      hi kelly 😉

      love you.

  73. N May 15, 2013

    This is a good song BUT not single material. If Kelly want this single to sell she has to work hard. I wish there was better chorus and more emotion in her voice.

  74. Rellz May 15, 2013

    Great song. Very deep.

  75. Truth May 15, 2013

    It’s not even about whether this song is hot or not it’s about her getting her feelings out

    • Sevyn Streeter May 15, 2013

      But she needs a hit. Her album will sell 45k first week

  76. RoyalKev May 15, 2013

    I am going to get the dislikes, but I don’t really care for this song. I’ve been feeling Kelly’s recent singles. I was here for Ice, Number 1 and a few others. This one sounds a little dreary for me. The song is interesting lyrically, but I’d prefer that she didn’t mention Beyonce at all for shock value. This seems a bit strategic, the Beyonce/ Kelly drama raises eyebrows and anything concerning the two eggs on a long, drawn-out feud between stans.

    People will continue to make Kelly appear to be victimized (even when she’s not pointing fingers at anyone). Kelly has the freedom to do as she pleases, but I wish DC girls would just ignore everyone looking to create rife and tension between them. Aside from that, I think this one will get the attention she’s looking for (which is probably why it was created), but I’m not sure it’s musically stronger than the controversy its filled with. I think Kelly might be on her way to making her best album of her career, but I hope she stays on the track she’s been on prior to this song!

    • KEY May 15, 2013

      This shouldn’t get any dislikes because what you’re saying is understandable. I kind of feel that way, BUT…

      She really needed to get that out. She opened up to everyone on this record….even Beyonce.

      • RoyalKev May 15, 2013

        She really needed to get that out. She opened up to everyone on this record….even Beyonce.
        ————————————————————

        @Key,

        I respect that! I actually took that into account. It is a real emotion for Kelly and I’m all for artistic freedom. I personally would rather that we hear some of this stuff in an interview, but ultimately Kelly has the right to express herself in her music the way she wants. I can’t say but so much about that.

    • Anne May 15, 2013

      “I’d prefer that she didn’t mention Beyonce at all for shock value. This seems a bit strategic, the Beyonce/ Kelly drama raises eyebrows and anything concerning the two eggs on a long, drawn-out feud between stans.

    @come and get back to music

    this is deep, you can listen to Mariah Carey “i am free” or “make it happen” . They will help you find confidence in yourself in oder to make that change in your life by letting go of your fears.

  78. IslandBoi242 May 15, 2013

    Wow Kelly this song it deep and the emotion kind of remained me of simply deep. This is what music have been missing rawness and feeling. Great Job Kelly!

    • Kelz May 15, 2013

      she did a spectacular job

  79. Katy S. May 15, 2013

    Great song but radio won’t play it unfortunately. Do your thang miss Kelly

  80. KEY May 15, 2013

    Wow. I know one things for sure. She got mad love for Beyonce. Thanks Kelly.

  81. mc the place to be! May 15, 2013

    i never would’ve thought that she went through that but we all knew she was bitter about the whole destiny’s child and beyonce thing who wouldn’t be?! it’s hard watching someone else live out what you pictured your dream would be like! but that destiny’s fulfilled album was really kelly’s story about her relationship it just that nobody really paid attention to it as a real life thing

  82. Raylyn May 15, 2013

    I never seen so much hate on someones testimony

  83. Lovebird May 15, 2013

    I cannot at Kelly playing the victim and her fans falling for it. All I want to know is who she sided with when Beyonce decided to screw over Latavia, Letoya and Farah.

    Sorry Kelly, I see through this sad attempt at trying to gain sympathy. You’re not the victim, you’re an accomplice to Beyonce’s shady dealings during Destiny’s Child’s reign.

    • Cupcake May 15, 2013

      Are you really that dumb?
      She’s not trying to play the victim. All she did was admit that she was envious of Beyoncè’s career once they all went SOLO, as she was always in Beyoncè’s shadow and had a hard time finding her own shine.
      Don’t blame Kelly for the other 3 being kicked out of the group. She was still in her teens at the time, so you don’t know who was in her ear telling her ear advising her to stay.
      Was it Kelly’s dad that managed the group? No!
      So don’t blame her for that.
      Your ass can’t be positive for nothing.

      • Stav May 15, 2013

        “Are you really that dumb?”

        Yes she is. Just smile and nod.

  84. Truth May 15, 2013

    She said that

    I’m buying 4 copies- Talk A Good Game”

  85. antertain May 15, 2013

    The-Dream did a excellent job with the writing to make this real story come to life.

    Girl from Destiny Fulfilled sure does make FULL sense now.

    Dirty Laundry dives all the way deeper.

  86. Cupcake May 15, 2013

    Wow Kelly. I am speechless when it comes to this song. It’s so deep & raw.
    At the same time, it doesn’t really feel like a song that should be a single. It should be kept unheard until the buyer purchases the CD so that they could be pleasantly surprised at what they’re hearing.
    I still love Kelly tho and RnB radio loves her too so she may still come out on top with this.

  87. Love. May 15, 2013

    A song about Beyonce, wrote by Dream…. Cute, but Dream…Please hop off the Carters’ d***. I like the song. Deep. Kelly always been in my top 5. I see her being jealous of Beyonce’s attention, but Kelly has always been the prettiest member. Only reason Bey surpassed the rest of the members was because her father made sure of it. Kelly you might just get my money. This song is pretty deep and half way relatable. You’ll def get the vote of the women whose been in your shoes. You see how Rihanna career took off after Chris beat her ass..

    • Navy Sailor May 15, 2013

      Actually Rihanna’s lowest selling & deepest album was the one released after the Chris incident. 🙄

    • goodjobk May 15, 2013

      I agree that Matthew did hurt all the DC members because he made the focal part Beyonce and everyone else was like her back up singers. When they broke up, he was Kelly and Beyonce’s manager and you can actually see the difference between what he did for Bey and what he did for Kelly. I’m glad she made this song and I hpe she continues to keep working towards her goal

  88. Navy Sailor May 15, 2013

    It’s a great song for the album, but as a single…..no. It’s very depressing and anti-climatic. I’m glad that we are finally getting to see the real Kelly, but this shouldn’t be a single. Blessings to Kelly and everyone going through struggles 🙂

    • SO Fresh May 15, 2013

      I HAVE TO AGREE TOTALLY…GREAT MESSAGE AND VERY NICE TO SEE HER GO DEEP BUT IDK BOUT SINGLE MATERIAL.

  90. Marcellis May 15, 2013

    This is definatly not a song that will get radio play. But I do appreciate her honesty, and being so bold to express her feelings. I enjoyed it. Kudos to Kelly. Although I cant see myself jamming out to this song. Its a song you may play a couple of times and then it eventually wears out and gets old. Its nothing more than a venting track. The beat is also kind of dry to me. I just hope “Talk A Good Game”lives up to its expectations.

    • Quan May 15, 2013

      Been in heavy rotation on the radio since this morning in almost every major city!!! So your point again was?

    • FireIce May 15, 2013

      Um, idiot…YOU are here for it. You clicked, listened and commented. Another dumb ass Rihanna fan. I swear you her fans have only 2 brain cells and they fight with each other.

  93. D-money May 15, 2013

    This song is really deep. But if she went through this Michelle’s story should be even more interesting. Cos she really took a lot of backlash for no reason.

  94. D May 15, 2013

    I don’t understand the point of stans arguing or trying to make a point.These artists don’t even know you exist.Lol.I love both Kelly and Ciara and both are amazingly talented so stop.Hell,I even like Rihanna and I’m a die hard Ciara fan.Support good music period and stop making it a competition.It’s as if these black female artists can’t coexist and it’s hard enough for them.Taylor Swift,Katy Perry and Pink all experience chart success simultaneously but our blacks can’t.And as for this record I love it.Finally she’s told us what’s really been going on and talked about something other than s**.It may not be ur typical single choice but I think this will generate a lot of buzz for the album.Kind of like Frank Ocean’s announcement.I think that’s what she’s going for.

  95. MARK May 15, 2013

    I love it, the song is so honest.

  96. goodjobk May 15, 2013

    I love this song and it is so honest. I’m happy that she can admit that she was in an abusive relationship and it’s an issue that does not discriminate against anyyone rich, poor, fat, skinny, young, or old. I’m glad that she can admit how she felt about being in Beyoince’s shadow. I love Kelly

  97. POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 15, 2013

    i know b****** gonna be like “she’s honest ” and s*** , yes , she’s honest and came a long way , but this is not a single material , or , she needs a really Great video !

    • Chillin May 15, 2013

      Why are you still here ???? Go AWAY!!!

    • mc the place to be! May 15, 2013

      who cares if it’s not charting material it’s a good song it’ll probably do good because it has drama in it just look at ray j’s I HIT IT FIRST people like drama you just talking about s** partying etc is getting boring

    • KEY May 15, 2013

      Dude, how is this not single material? Because it ain’t rachet, or is it because she’s not talking about love, drugs or s**? What exactly is your definition of single material?

      It actually makes more sense for her to release this as a single. It will be widely known and will appeal to the masses because it will be much easier to find and relate to. It answers a lot of questions (past and current) AND it will appear on the album. I’m sorry you settle for that generic s*** Rihanna serves her gullable a*s fans.

      To be honest, I don’t know why I’m wasting my time replying to a rihanna fan. Y’all don’t know s*** about music. It’s obvious she wasn’t releasing it for popularity (which is all your fave knows)

      Ohhhhhhh All I see is signs, all I see is dollar signs?

      I hope she collects all the coins she can get because a few years from now she wont be remembered. Money comes and goes. Talent doesnt.

      • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 15, 2013

        @KEY :

        Did you read my ENTIRE comment or you just picked on sentence off It ?

        i said :

        “but this is not a single material , or , she needs a really Great video ! ”

        which means it can be a successful single/hit if a reflective video is to be released to enhance the message in this song.

        and i know you just mad and pressed abut rihanna , you won’t be the first and certainly you won’t be the last , but bringing her into this irrelevant,uncalled for and gives an impression of “bitterness”.

        Oh and i don’t like “pour it up” !! and my fav Released “STAY” and “Love the way you lie” , i don’t think she released those for popularity either.

      • KEY May 15, 2013

        I was only going off of what I read which is your entire post. You didn’t once tell me what consists in “single material”. I’m sure Kelly knows what she’s doing. No one needs your input on “single material”. Hell, if you know what “single material” is, why don’t you put out one? Your fave has no talent and still has successful singles. I’m sure you could since you know what it’s all about. I could care less about rihanna. I just used her as an example of why I wasted my time commenting on your post. You won’t get it.

        Also, you’ve posted multiple times talking sh-t on this post. I had to make it my mission to check you. Mission completed.

        The exit’s on your left.

  98. Yes! May 15, 2013

    She deserves a LOT of respect for being so damn honest. Good for her. I feel for her struggle. She will help a lot of people going through domestic abuse with this track.
    Well done Kelly Rowland.

    So deeep so real so you SIMPLY DEEP!!!!

  101. HOWYOULIKEIT May 15, 2013

    People have been complaining about kelly singing sexual song (motivation, lay it on me, ice, kisses down low).
    Please let her tell her story now. Just enjoy the honesty and the lyrics. Congrats Miss Kelly

  102. My Forehead Tho May 15, 2013

    Wow…I really impressed with my girl this era.

    This song is on replay. One of the best this year

  103. Mark111 May 15, 2013

    You people are stupid, R&B is suppose to be about real issues, not just about being in a club or s**. This song did just what it supposed to do, get people talking and for Kelly to express herself.

    • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 15, 2013

      i agree.

      and personally , i think one of the reasons she don’t support her own singles is that she feels no connection with them.

      this is the first time i feel she really want this to be heard.

  104. My Forehead Tho May 15, 2013

    DEAD @ people on twitter saying the song is about Matthew Knowles

    • Mark111 May 15, 2013

      I thought so for a sec, but it would clash with her being his child rumors.

    I’m on tears. Now I understand “Girl” Destinys Fulfilled was about kelly

  106. jay May 15, 2013

    This song is so real.They way its written reminds me Of stole.Its giving me simply deep teases.Its not gonna do well on the charts but people are gonna be more interested in the album.

  107. navy nick May 15, 2013

    this song-wow, not single worthy but def an album banger!!! wow tho; the girl video makes sense now

  108. TruthSpeaker May 15, 2013

    beautifully written! i think this is about matthew knowles & bey. i feel as though its a confession of why kelly dropped him as manager. if you remember, she dropped him first before it was revealed that he was having a child with a mistress. shortly after, bey dropped him as manager and their relationship has been rocky… this song might explain why that is! i wonder if he tried to get with kelly….

  109. Miss M May 15, 2013

    Ah this is touching Kelly. Im sure Bey shed a tear when she heard this.

  110. SLAY_HIVE May 15, 2013

    Workkkk Kelly! 🙂 🙂 🙂 The realness and emotion in her lyrics>>>

    I love how she is maturing as an artist finding her voice! Her and Bey were always my faves from DC! 😉 😉

  111. mina May 15, 2013

    kelly this what i call a classic song!!!

    you do what you suposed to do be ” SIMPLY DEEP”.

    THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE!!!!

    I know you gonna perform this because your gonna star a tour.

    GO GO GO kelly

  112. Kelz May 15, 2013

    yes Kelly..u just slayed me

  113. Mark111 May 15, 2013

    I got it! This IS about Bey (duh) and Matthew! Listen, she said “n****”, “in her shadow” “oh no, you gotta leave”, Kelly was living with them for most of her life. “Trapped in his house, lied to my mama.” “Nobody loves you, not your mama, not your daddy,not even Bey” that Mat telling her through out. Think, why did Kelly live with them, but the other girls didn’t, why the other two leave, but Kelly stayed? Well she didn’t have a choice. They clamed they adopted her, it all make sense now. Maybe that’s why she was crying on her Bday, they said she was talking to Bey and friends, maybe she was telling Bey that she was gonna tell it all. Plus one the the ex girls said years ago that Mat would yell at Kelly and make her cry. S*** is about to hit the fan, the truth is about to come out. Why would you make a song about your sister and your man? that two didn’t subjects and has nothing to do with each other, and in the song it was back in forth, but it’s not, we all know that it was all abotu Bey in for Dad for years and NOW the song makes sense, and this goes with Mat being her father. #solved

      DAMN if that is true!

      • TruthSpeaker May 15, 2013

        i agree. read my post -two lines up-

        I was just telling my friends that it doesn’t make sense for her to go back & forth between bey & her ex in the same song unless something happened between the 2. then i thought, this has to be another man. If you read between the lyrics closely, shes talking about her struggle to leave bey’s shadow and the man who tried desperately to keep her there. who else had that power besides Matthew Knowles? Hell, he created Bey’s shadow! And the reference to a man putting his hands on her; I believe he must have tried to sleep with her and promised to help advance her career if she did. Maybe she did and nothing happened; confessed to Bey and was turned away without being given the benefit of doubt. Fast forward- she drops him as manager, his affair and child gets revealed and Bey then drops him. Bey & her father’s relationship hasn’t been the same since and I ALWAYS SAID something else must have happened besides the infidelity that split up his marriage. Him hitting on kelly ro would be the perfect reason for Bey to become estranged from Matthew!!! The divorce; nah that would be confusing and all but something deeper had to have happened to create that distance between Bey & Matt….

  118. Dev May 15, 2013

    This song is boring as hell! If it was an interlude it would’ve worked better. Maybe if she covered her surgery, the break of Destiny’s Child and her family situation it would’ve been better.
    I’m not getting into it with Kelly because LaToya got kicked out and still did better than you as a solo artist.

    • Chillin May 15, 2013

      is this a JOKE..Letoya’s solo career cannot even TOUCH Kelly’s solo career boo…She has one platinum album in the USA..Kelly’s “Simply Deep” album shits on LeToya’s entire career..Just an FYI..Simply Deep went PLATINUM in the UK and GOLD in Australia, USA, Canada Hong Kong, Ireland and New Zeland.

      Please cut that sh*t out..y’all be sleeping on Kelly..she is an International Supoerstar

    • aminaxa May 17, 2013

      I can’t deny that letoya is a great artist i love her BUT Please COMMON’ sometime ppl forget how successfull kelly is and it’s just the beginin after 15 years in this game. this girl is on top .

  141. Maestro J May 15, 2013

    Kelly Rowland has OFFICIALLY TAKEN OVA!!!!!!
    She already has about 8 songs (including features) on the radio in current rotation… this is just going to send her into the stratesphere … this is R&B this is the kind of R&B that has been missing from the scene for quite some time. I proud of her for airing her ‘DIRTY LAUNDRY’ Kelly has been full steam ahead to set herself apart from the little girl we knew, the woman we thought she was, and as a just a memeber of Destiny’s Child… I am all a go for a DC3 Reunion now… because these women have GROWN
    10S ACROSS THE BOARD Ms.Kelly… 10s ACROSS THE BOARD

    I really hate to know that my fave got abused! I woke up this morning & read my twitter n seen tht the song was released after listening I immediately broke down in tears bcuz I was so not prepared for this type of news! Kelly u have had me in tears all day after hearing this song! Alot of ppl is missing the message in the song. It was not about her being jealous of Bey but more resentful towards her! The guy she dated basically turned her against her parents & Bey. Remind u this is around the same time Bey was touring so she was really busy and she had her own life to worry about… Kelly may have felt like she wasn’t concerned or didn’t care about her bcuz she was so focused on her career! Kelly have always spoken nothing but positive about Bey how dare Bey Stans drag Kelly on twitter! She’s only telling her story! No one will never know how it feels to be abused n beaten while u watch your sister on top of the world living the ideal life while u r being beaten everyday and nobody knows! At the same time the world calling you a flop, Bey shadower, u will never have success outside DC! Thats horrible!!! I’ve been waiting for Kelly to tell her story and finally….

  157. DIGGER BEY May 15, 2013

    OMG! OMG! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I knew once I heard that 5 sec instrumental! I knew she was gonna go in and pour her soul out! But I didn’t know what she’s was gonna pour out. This song is one of those “every once n awhile songs”! Kelly is definitely proving she’s here for the long haul! I luv this woman! I knew she had versatility, to do something like this. Kelly, gurl I never counted u out. I knew she was an Diamond n the ruff! #NEXT GREAT DIVA

  158. Rochelle May 15, 2013

    Only people who are hating on the song are under the age of 18 and are quick to call Kelly a flop When you have almost 20 years and the game its hard to be a flop when you still book appearances its hard to be a flop when your still on the radio its hard to be a flop when you were apart of one of the biggest girl groups in history its hard to be a flop when you have 5 grammys its hard to be a flop

While ur ugly Humpty dumpty ass look like an Posseum bwahahahahahahaha

  165. She’s Arrived May 15, 2013

    This song is incredibly vulnerable. It has introduced us to a whole new side of Kelly Rowland. She’s taking a huge risk releasing this as a single, and that’s what I love about Kelly. She’s so fearless, so a-typical, so much an artist. This girl never gives herself credit for being as phenomenal as she is. Kelly used to say that she’s learned a lot from Beyonce’; well I think Beyonce’ should take a few pages out of Kelly’s book because in my opinion, Kelly has always been a few steps ahead of her “sister” artistically. Kelly’s music makes me think and feel and empathize. I can’t always relate to what she sings about personally, but I can appreciate that she’s telling her story and exposing the woman/artist inside. Anyone can create a booty-shaking anthem or a club record, and those records are enjoyable; but it takes experience, pain, maturity and a bravery that most recording artists don’t have to record and RELEASE a record like this. I haven’t heard a song this honest since Usher’s “Confessions” and we all know that song/album made his career. Whether or not that happens for Kelly (I think it will) remains to be seen, but either way, it’s safe to say the girl has finally ARRIVED.

    Hats off to you Ms.Rowland

    • aminaxa May 17, 2013

      SO SO TRUE!!!

      i think the same way about kelly this record is the truth.
      I hope she feel the love and she ‘s understand that she conquered a lot of people with this song.

      so happy for her.

  166. danny b May 16, 2013

    LOL at all these theories about the “man” beating her being figuratively Mathew. As blunt as the song is, I dont think she’d be that vague or figurative if she were talking about Mathew. Plus also, she was RANDOMLY engaged to that football player around 2004-05 and then they RANDOMLY broke up, so its possible that he was the one that beat on her maybe. Because we never know who shes in a relationship with or anything within it. But if the man she is referring to is Mathew, I dont think Mathew ever beat her physically and i dont think she wouldve made a song so vivid in her being abused by some man for it to be only a metaphor.

    • WRONG May 16, 2013

      It wasn’t Roy Williams. He was the “knight in shining armor” that she let get away because of how hung up she was on the one before him who did her super dirty. Consider Kelly’s timeline. “Dirty Laundry” is her most transparent song to date, but Kelly has always used her life and relationship experiences as inspiration for great/classic songs. She did write a song about Roy and this one is not it. “Still in Love With My Ex” was Roy’s song; and the EX that kept her from committing to Roy is also the one who was apparently abusing her. “Rose Colored Glasses” also tells the story. Kelly is finally making things clearer than they’ve ever been before, but you still have to be smart about this. Don’t go making asinine assumptions about who “Dirty Laundry” fingers. Do your research and then put two & two together.
      I know who “Dirty Laundry” is about and so does Nelly (hint, hint).
      And for the slow folks, NO IT’S NOT NELLY.

      • PAT May 16, 2013

        you’re probably right. I’m hearing it was this cudda guy who is connected to nelly

  173. Stenna May 16, 2013

    I really wish someone with a better vocabulary sat with her to write this song. This needed a Kelly Clarkson type depth not trapped in the closet. This should not have been to transparent and it also should have had a conclusion. Right now its like reading a diary entry and forgetting to make it anonymous.

    • WE LOVE YOU KELLY!!! May 16, 2013

  174. She May 16, 2013

    The Dream played my Kelly. He focused to much on this Beyonce it’s like she in the theme running through a story that is so much bigger than the inferred jealousy, Dream is a big old Bey stan. He turned a pretty dark deeply personal confession into the “I was jealous of King Bey” admittance. It was probably his agenda to begin with, Kelly too naive to see it.

    I feel for her.

    [Hook]
    Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
    Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
    When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
    When you make pain look this good it never wears out
    This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

    [Verse 1]
    While my sister was on stage, killing it like a m***********
    I was enraged, feeling it like a m***********
    Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
    Went out separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it
    Bittersweet, she was up, I was down
    No lie, I feel good for her, but what do I do now?
    Forget the records
    Off the record, I was going through some b*******
    Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my b*******?
    Meanwhile, this n**** putting his hands on me
    I swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry

    [Hook]

    [Verse 2]
    And it’s almost been a decade
    I’m behind them black shades
    Roll up like it’s all good, right up out that escalade
    Fix my make-up, “get it together, Kelly, get it together”
    Then we make up, “well get it together, n****, get it together”
    Kinda lucky, I was in her shadow
    Phone call from my sister, “what’s the matter?”
    She said, “Oh no, baby – you gotta leave!”
    I’m on the kitchen floor – he took the keys
    I was mad at everybody, I mean everybody
    Yeah, her, her, her her everybody
    Five years later, I got my s*** down pat
    Think I had it good, and they don’t know how bad
    Fooled everybody, except myself
    Soaking in this hurt, bathing in the dirt

    [Hook]

    [Verse 3]
    So here I am in the spin cycle
    We’re comin and we’re goin
    Nobody can know this
    And I was trapped in his house, lyin’ to my mama
    Thought it could get no worse as we maximize the drama
    Started to call them people on him
    I was battered
    He hittin the window like it was me, until it shattered
    He pulled me out, he said, “Don’t nobody love you but me
    Not your mama, not your daddy and especially not Bey”
    He turned me against my sister
    I missed ya

    [Hook]
