New Song: Kelly Rowland – ‘Daylight’ (ft. Travis McCoy)

Published: Saturday 1st Dec 2007 by Sam
As reported back in October, Kelly Rowland recorded a track with Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy. The full song, titled ‘Daylight’ (a Bobby Womack cover), surfaced today and I am pleasantly surprised. Upon hearing the snippet earlier this month I wasn’t too optimistic, but listening to the mid-tempo track in its entirety has made me like it more.
‘Daylight’ is to feature on the soundtrack of French film ‘Asterix’. What’s unknown, at present, is whether the song will be on (or be the first single) from the previously announced ‘Ms. Kelly’ re-release – due early next year. A tidbit: ‘Work’ has been re-scheduled for release in the UK on 28th January 2008 meaning the long-awaited video should be premiering soon. Anyway, ‘Daylight’…

Hit or Miss?

    i like this song alot… it’s really cute.. has a nice tempo.. but i feel like this is a song to get people to realize that she is back in the scene, so that her true single (whether it’s still in love with my ex, or put it in) will have more chances to prosper.

    I like the song, I don’t like her vocals though. She should do those over. But this would have been a good song this past summer.

    i was not to optimistic when i heard the snippet either but i also knew that it was not enough to make any judgements yet and i was right because the snippet did not do the song any justice at all, i mean at all. i love the song. i think it’s great.

    I AM SORRY WHAT IN DA HELL IS THIS RUBBISH. THIS SONG DOES NOT SUIT HER ONE BIT, I WAS PLAYING IT AND AUTOMATICALLY SOME PEOPLE WERE LIKE GIRL WHAT ARE U PLAYIN. THE REASON WHY KELLY FLOPPED IS COS OF LIARS SHE HAS AS FANS. IF IT WAS BEYONCE THAT SANG THIS GIBBERISH, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISSED. OH WELL I WILL JUST KEEP WAITING TO SEE HOW HER RE-RELEASE OF HER ALBUM WOULD DO WORST THAT THE 1ST ONE. EVERYBODY SETTLES FOR MEDIOCRE SONGS THAT SHE RELEASES , IS IT COS OF PITY, WELL IF U LIKE HER U WILL TELL HER THE TRUTH, SO SHE DOESN’T MAKE SILLY ASS COMMENTS LIKE I WISH I WAS QUITTING , I WISH I WAS LIGHT SKIN

    N its funny how it always has 2 be somebody bring B into the situation … the Topic is about Kelly’s song now what Beyonce’s fans would say

    one person spoke the truth and the person before me said he/she should shut the f*** upp lol. Kelly will flop harder than Jordin sparks who wants to bet, cos this song does not suit a black girl, neither does it suit a dark skin girl

    lets get this straight ur not a lie detector so u can’t tell if a person is lying r not ok … n this isn’t even a official single its for a movie but i’m glad u all care about Kelly SO MUCH

    How the hell does skin color suit a song? I am so sick of the ignorant, immature, idiotic fools that post on this site;just hatin’ for no damn reason. Are you mad because no one is paying you to make a record? Are you upset because God did not bless you with the beautiful chocolate complexion that He blessed Kelly with? Or do you just get a kick out of making someone as gorgeous and warm hearted as Kelly is feel like $#!/. Are you so miserable that you attempt to make yourself feel important by personally insulting someone you don’t know and probably have never even met. The song is very good, and Kelly sounds very good singing it. Her’s is one of the most versatile voices in this industry. She can pull off just about anything musically. She’s not stuck in one genre. She’s well rounded and eclectic. Which is more than I can say for you antagonistic,close-minded,critical haters and you seemingly racist pricks. My prayer is that you will all one day learn to love yourselves. Maybe then you won’t feel the need to be so mean-spirited and hurtful towards people who have done nothing to you, because I’m sure Kelly has done nothing to you. If you have a valid opinion or critique,let’s hear it;but if you’re only spewing worthless insults and making asenine comments;do us all a favor and DON’T POST.

    Signed,

    yup they hate for no damn reason if you don’t like it then get the f*** out of here
    we don’t need no beyonce stans here go on another fuckn site and read about beyonce if thats what you guys fuckn want and i believe the song is great i also have it on my ipod :]

  18. Anonymous December 2, 2007

    ^^^^Shut the f*** up. Do you seriously think that everybody who hates on Kelly is a Beyonce stan? GTFOH You seriously got a f***** up mind. It’s actually Beyonce fans who are feeling sorry for Kelly so they say everything she does is good even when it’s not. Well not me I keep it real.

    Kelly is a good singer but this song sucks. And I do not have to be a Beyonce fan to say that. There are plenty of people who say the same thing and they are not all Bey fans. Bey fans have no reason to feel threatened by Kelly of all people. So please spare us.

    This song is not good and that’s me telling it like how I see it. Dilemma was good. Like this was o.k. But this song here is a huge hell no! SMH

    i have never said this to anyone but b**** i hope u burn in hell for being such a d*** to someone you don’t even fuckn know

    I don’t like the song either, it just seems plain to me, but Like This had to grow on me so who knows…but others (except for one) seem to love it so hopefully it’s a success.

    PS. If you don’t like the song, fair enough, but there’s no need to say it over and over and over…again.

  21. Nikki December 3, 2007

    It’s a crazy ass person on this site talking about they hope somebody burn in hell and s***. Get a life it’s really not that serious. And I’m really not feeling this song.

    Someone left a comment saying something like Kelly Rowland can’t compare to Beyonce. Well, people who do get compared to Beyonce like Ciara, Rihanna, Fergie and so on have way less talent than Kelly Rowland. Rowland knows how to sing she has the voice and can sing really high notes, unlike Ciara, Fergie, Rihanna, Nicole, J’Lo, and many other female singers who get noticed but for what. Kelly was apart of the Best Selling Female Group Ever and the fans of Destiny’s Child have proven that they weren’t real fans of DC but mostly of Beyonce. Ms. Kelly is a great album and its R&B/Soul. Many people decided not to give this album a chance and they didn’t want it to see the light of day. Kelly will continue to do her thang and like she said when she performed at the House of Blues “you haters can’t stop her now”. So, don’t worry cause Ms. kelly’s gonna be iight.
