Tonight is “the” night for Kelly Rowland.

The Grammy winner’s new talent search ‘Chasing Destiny’ airs tonight at 10.30pm ET on BET.

Rowland, who has sold over 90 million records in her career, has been pounding the promotional pavement hard in support of the show – which she fronts with renown creative director Frank Gatson.

Stopping by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 on her latest stop, Ms. Kelly spilled on the show (which certainly seems to have its host network very excited). She also spoke on motherhood, marriage, and new music.

Last night saw the stars align for the 2016 BET Black Girls Rock special.

The annual event celebrates the achievements of women of color in the entertainment, literary, and philanthropical fields.

One of the most notable honorees was Rihanna, who was presented with the Rockstar Award.

Kelly Rowland was also in the house at the event, which took place at the New Jersey Performance Center. Beyond introducing Gladys Knight, Ms. Kelly engaged in smart synchronisation. For, her new talent search ‘Chasing Destiny’ kicks off immediately following the show’s April 5th broadcast on BET.

Fall 2014 saw fans bid farewell to BET’s hit video countdown show ‘106 & Park’ after 14 years on the air.

Since then, there have been murmurs of a replacement show, but nothing has come to fruition…until now. Sending his followers into a frenzy, original show host Aj Calloway took to Instagram to let fans in on news the show is coming back – with himself and his cohort Free as the hosts!

Let’s hope this isn’t a bad April Fools’ joke:

Kelly Rowland‘s empire is expanding.

The solo and group Grammy winner is leveraging her two decades in the music business towards the discovery of the next big girlband.

Aptly titled ‘Chasing Destiny,’ the BET docu-series will chronicle Rowland’s process which strives to highlight how much hard work is required to make waves.

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the show’s Los Angeles launch recently and caught up with Kelly to discuss ‘Chasing’ (which premieres April 5th), as well as her musical endeavours – namely her new album and the hotly anticipated video for ‘Dumb.’

Watch as TGJ’s Patrick chats it up with Ms. Kelly!

Your thoughts?

For many, Kelly Rowland‘s career has been a frustrating one to observe.

Undeniably one of today’s stronger vocalists, a supposed lack of creative direction and all the logistical problems sharing a manager with Beyonce might bring are often cited as two reasons the gifted star was often overlooked at the beginning of her solo journey.

Now, she seeks to carve a new lane for herself via the show ‘Chasing Destiny‘, teaming up with her longtime friend and creative director Frank Gatson to build a group they’ll lead to Destiny’s Child-flavoured glory.

So, to honour of the journey Rowland will pull from to mentor her members, TGJ celebrates her criminally overlooked ‘Simply Deep.’

Kelly Rowland is a busy bee these days.

Beyond baking her fifth studio album and filming her new BET show ‘Chasing Destiny,’ the solo Grammy winner and new mother is also serving as brand ambassador for Claritin. 

Said duty brought her to The Boys & Girls Club recently, where she performed a special rendition of global hit ‘When Love Takes Over.’ 

Watch below as Ms. Kelly (along with a few guests) hit all the right notes…

The countdown is on for Kelly Rowland.

April 5th brings with it the debut of her BET talent-search ‘Chasing Destiny.’

The solo Grammy winner has paired up with renown creative Frank Gatson for the project, which sets out to piece together music’s next big girl group.

Billed as a docu-series with its own unique twist, the show does away with the pomp and pageantry of many singing competitions and instead embraces a raw approach which stresses the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to make it in the cut-throat business of music.

Ahead of the series premiere, an extended preview has been released.
