Kelly Rowland continues to garner praise aplenty for her latest album ‘Talk A Good Game’. Hence, there is no time better than the present to keep the wheels a’turning on the project’s promotional campaign.
With recent effort ‘Dirty Laundry’ serving as more of a “buzz amplifier” than a Billboard staple, it’s quite literally on to the next one. Which begs the question: which track is Ms. Kelly awarding the single treatment to next?
Well, remember our post asking what YOU think ‘Talk’s next offering should be? Let’s just say, it seems the 32-year-old has heeded the request of most of her Rowland Stones.
Kelly’s new single is…
Gone (ft. Wiz Khalifa)
Confirmation came courtesy of Ryan Seacrest, who quizzed the R&B star on her judging role on The X Factor USA.
Speaking to the American Idol host on his radio show, Rowland teased the idea of fellow judge Demi Lovato directing her upcoming music video, after being impressed by the 20-year-old’s directorial efforts for her own song ‘Made In The USA’. Seacrest’s site refers to the single in question as ‘Gone’.
Produced by Harmony Samuels and featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa, the track has been hailed as the most radio-ready cut on the album, and ultimately the most mainstream. A fact which, when paired with the her stint on the uber mainstream X Factor, has made it the obvious pick from the get go. In keeping it super 100, we’re not sure what took so long to arrive at such a clear conclusion.
Anyway, in looking forward, we anticipate this one being a multi-format hit in waiting.
We dont care gurl it will make zero impact on the charts just like s***** laundry and charts down low did.
LOL Really now..Ciara’s Body Party will never succeed the success of Motivation boo..BTW..what has Ciara album sold thus far..stay off Kelly’s nuts and worry about Ciara’s non-existing career
“Talk a good game” 2 months: 130k
“Ciara” 1 month: 90k
Ciara’s sales are doing FINE compared to kelly 😉
Kelly did anlmost 90 in 2 1/2 weeks boo…check Ciara in 2 months
Who? Please provide the source of the numbers you quoted, also does it include Ciara’s push on Groupon?
NO ONE CARES, IT WILL FLOP LIKE ALL HER SINGLES DID. BUT STILL, KELLY >>> MAN-ARA
ARIANA & DEMI > MISLUTELY FRAUDYRUS
PIECE OF S*** >>>>> INFINITY >>> TRANNYARA
^ corny as f*** & sounds nothing like the real names
Ciara has her own identity & even if she copies janet to the pits of hell >>>>>>> Miley copying billygoats gruff untalented non-writing, non-singing ass 😆
Won’t chart any where & video Won’t be released until nov 2016
Lmao okaaaay!!
OMG>>>> you did that lol
Work girls, y’all are turning it in this post….
So glad she picked ‘Gone’! Brilliant choice for the next single! I hope she performs it on X Factor too!
Yea thats a cool song…..but i still say it should have been sky walker, thats my cut right there.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TRACK WITH BEYONCE…. GONE IS A FLOP!
No lies
Everything doesn’t revolve around Beyawnce….I’m so sick of everyone putting the main focus on her like she’s the best that ever did it. Beyawnce is wack! NEXT!
If she was smart she’d release Freak or I Remember #DumbHoe
Don’t nobody care though! B**** they paid your album dust!
Just like when the Entire EARTH paid Rihanna when she dyed her hair that grandma grey color…..
I still think her Vocals are the business and anyone who is a *HATER* JUST DESERVES TO FALL BACK!! she’s making it on her own and I’m glad she is doing what makes her happy!!
NOBODY CARES! That song is booty. Ugh, Kelly had so much buildup and potential for this album. The album is a solid 5 1/2-6 in my opinion.
It could prove all of you wrong.
Kelly is showed me in this live that she can give a REAL live vocal and make a b**** proud. The song is mainstream radio freindly and if she gets Demi (who is an industry and mainstream sweetheart and a really creative young talent) to direct it will create a buzz with her audience & Demi’s audience (where the real loyal supporters live).
Kelly is a sweetheart and her Simon and Demi seem to have bonded during this X Factor tour. With those two behind her they could really push to get her the radio play and attention in markets suited to her character and pop/R&B music.
I’m actually excited for her.
Kelly tbh this era is non existent release all the singles you want no one gives a f*** you killed this era once you released dirty laundry as a single.
She needs to cross The Dream out of hr life for that song. He did that s*** on purpose….how tf she tell her life story to a Bey Stan and expect him not to make it a song that make you look like a hater, destroys your career and highlight Beys success.
She (and her team of advisers) are damn fools for ever recording that track and for putting trust in the dream.
Yes yes and yes!!!!
Kisses down low and dirty laundry werent good single choices!!!
Shes so dumb shoulda released the song with beyonce.
All the hate??? Why???? “Talk a Good Game” is a brilliant album….MATURE songs…not that booty popping, drop it like it’s hot kiddy music like her Cowardly Lion Wig wearing buddy. So glad “Gone” is the next single…good choice. Pay the hater’s dust Kelly!
Is going to flop.
Kelly needs to go for something more mainstream to get her that hit she needs and possibly boost her album sales. She needs to either release Freak or You Changed
Neither song would get air played on main stream radio. Gone is a potential hit….had Ariana recorded it it would be the hottest song of the year. She needs to reintroduce herself to a buying (loyal) audience and “Gone” is a track I can see young and hipster white (buying) audiences getting into.
hmmm maybe this song will peak higher than 75 on hot 100…
NOPE!
BYE KELLY
Another flop single from Kelly in the making i already know the video will be extra tacky and cheap she used all her budget for the dirty laundry video.
You changed or #1 or Street Life…
You weren’t supposed to release #DirtyLaundry it killed your era tbh 🙂
All these people saying she should have released Freak.
As much as I love Kelly, I think the world is tired of her singing about s**. From Motivation to Lay it on Me, to ICE, to Kisses Down Low. She doesn’t need another s** single.
Honestly, I think Gone is a great choice, and I would have been mad had she not released it. It can be played on Urban AND pop radio.
Maybe I remember next. Or Red Wine. I doubt You changed will bw a single.
Nice performance. Kelly sounds good, nice top also.
OMG The Ciara STANS are a DISEASE..its sickening
those are not Ciara stans… they can not tell u anything about her chart positions, endorsements, magazines she has appeared in All they can do is hate on other artists. They are Rihanna fans impersonating Ciara. Ciara and Kelly like eachother & Ciara looked up to DC
How can they be Rihanna fans when all they do is diss Rihanna
Thats what trolls do. They diss the artists they like so the stan base can attack who they’re named for……. So if I stan for Gaga, I’ll say my name is KATY SLAYS & I’ll talk s*** about Gaga to get other Monsters to drag me, thus dragging Katy & keeping Gaga out of it
lol that’s sick
Shut your s***** hating ass up, always the nobody hating…
Shes irrelevant just like Ciara those two fan bases should join forces.
i agree with you tgj……GONE IS VERY RADIO READY….AND I WAS CHILLEN WITH A WHITE GUY FRIEND OF MINES, AND I WAS PLAYING THE SONG, AND HE WAS ACTUALLY SINGING IT, AND I WAS LIKE, WOW, YOU KNOW THIS SONG, HE WAS LIKE YEAH, I LIKE IT!!!
ALMOST EVERY SONG, ON TALK A GOOD GAME, HAS POTIENTIAL ON BEING A SINGLE!!!
ITS UP TO KELLY TO KEEP PUSHING THEM!
i am white and i love kelly. i dont f****** care about skin colour. black is beautiful
yyyaaaassss I love this song. I actually just purchased it last weekend. Great choice.
Good choice
I do Love Ci and Kelly
They both work so hard in RnB jams
Anyway, wish both of them the best
Though it may no chart, CIARA & Talk A Good Game are both great album to me. Peace
Awe, your positivity is soooo REFRESHING
One gets tired of these lil queeny Stan’s trying to drag each other behind computer screens.
i love both two! and i hate these stupid haters
I like the song, congrats Kelly. And is it me or Wiz looks so awkward and doesnt seem like he is interested in her. I know he’s married but atleast acknowledge shes there
She’s Not Gonna Promote It so idc
It’s not my fav song on the album but i think it’s a good choice for the winter .. We all kno this song gonna get the treatment in nov or dec..so hopefully it will do good during the Xmas holiday … everybody knows the sample so i think it will catch on quick.]..
To the same ass b**** posting anything negative and hateful about Kelly and her career
Remember,—-
You will NEVER make half as much money as KR
NOBODY is checking for your talent
You ARE a nobody
the entire album is good, she just needs better PROMO! CIARA TOO-IDK y they are NOT selling, BOTH ALBUMS R GOOD!
Kelly & Camp is obviously banking on pushing this album thru X-Factor Notoriety …. Which is why she hasnt done any press for it… She probably shouldve waited to release it but She couldnt delay this one like all the others… She needs a hot video & a good remix tho to actually give it life, She actually needs a buzz single like the album wasnt even released yet!!!
I like Kelly Rowland but this song is not the great choice for her. She should of done Down On Love or Sky Waker but for the rest of the songs i couldn’t care less. I like what she did with Kisses Down Low. The Gone song is alright but for the video it be great as what she done Kisses Down Low.
Great choice Kelly! More power to you!!
I’m excited this is the best radio song on this album why the hell not release it as a single
