Universal Motown‘s latest signee Kelly Rowland is currently wrapping up the recording process of her hotly anticipated 3rd solo album, and it appears the 29 year old has left the best till last. Following recent confirmation that she’s has been recording with hit-makers Ne-Yo and Danja, it has now been revealed that the Destiny’s Child star has also been working with Polow Da Don on the project in Los Angeles. {Source}
Rowland worked with Polow on her 2007 smash ‘Like This’; the then-little-known producer, real name Jamal Jones, went on to craft hits for the likes of Ciara (‘Promise’), Fergie (‘London Bridge’, ‘Glamorous’), Usher (‘Love In This Club’), Keri Hilson (‘Turnin’ Me On’), and Chris Brown (‘Forever’).
Kelly and her new team are NOT playing this go round. I love it! As we reported, the album’s first single is set to drop in April, with the album following in May/June.

This is GREAT! Like This was amazing. Maybe a Keri duet? *dreaming*
I am sooooooo rooting for Kelly! And I’m glad the blogs are supporting her. I truly hope she has a few surprises for us vocally, image and performance-wise.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM. When is it going to be out?
I can’t wait for the singles and mainly the album, I am sure is going to be one of the best album ever made.
It said May/June. This album’s gonna be hot.
They got Kelly’s age wrong!
She’s working with Polo again. Good look. It’s always nice when producers and artsists can reconnect and recreate. I hope he produces a fire track for her and I hope that her vocals are dynamite.
@ Me,
They did not post the wrong age for Kelly. She just turned 29 over a week ago(Feb.11).
I like how she has been working with nothing but the best this go round.. I hope they put the marketing behind her just as they have put the money behind her
i really hope she does well this time round…Ms Kelly was the s***! she had some tunes on there man!
since when “like this” and “promise” were hits? you’re delusional you’re delusional boy you losing your mind ~
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM!!!!!!
I;m excited and happy for Ms. Kelly! I will be getting this album!
YAY!!! i cant wait…. 🙂 so excited.
@12345 Carry ur hating ass somewhere else…. both were rnb hits.. and if I’m not mistaken they were in the top 30 hits 100!! Next
while big name producers don’t necessarily =/= good material, i think polow could give her something pretty interesting. i’d like to hear her do something similar to “promise”.
All you haters can have a glass of STFU and make a toast to this hit record! #TeamKelly
@rnbcascade
ROFL, a song is a hit when it reaches the top 10, not top 30, sucker
Sam…as usual..your facts are a little off…Polow became big because of hits with Fergie both released well before “Like This”…I wish Kelly luck, but like most stans you are giving your girl too much credit.
I hope the song has those hollow drums á la Turnin Me On/Little Freak, and a feature rap. I will be upset if this album is devoid of feature artists…
PROMISE CAME OUT BEFOOOOOOOOOOOOORE LIKE THIS
OCT 06
Go kelly! I can’t believe she really has professional haters! Ya’ll be on EVERY thread saying something negative! Damn, the story only said that she was working with Polo how the hell did ya’ll flip that into a negative? wow. Anyways universal motown are really pulling out all the stops. I can’t wait to hear the final process because it’s shaping up to be a huge year for kelly.
so much effort yet pointless , kelly will flop
she is a flop and will always be a flop
and now she can flop with her new flopping bf brandy on there new flop label
flopping season is about to begin
Movieman and your a flop because well nobody knows who the f you are. Nobody care who the f you are and now jump off a bridge and die!!! HEHEHEHE!!! EVIL LAUGH!!
yesss kelly!!!
The only reason why kelly is working with only the best is cause Matthew is no longer her manager let alone involved in her career. This just proves and shows that matthew saved all the s***** producers and songs for Kelly when he controlled her career. Im def ready for Ms. Kelly’s big huge comeback!
I wouldn’t be surpirsed if matthew pays radio stations and promoters not to play or promote Kelly just to keep his fatass daughter more popular.
I didn’t see anyone say like this was a hit or put polo on the map so you haters missed me with that one
anyway I’m happy for kelly I’m overly excited to hear this album I can’t even express
Good for her, i dont know why trent/sam is not posting anything about her winning a grammy for her “when love takes over”
Go Kelly go
@ MOVIE MAN shut the f*** up!!! am happy for Kelly,.. cant wait…<3
kelly is beautiful and amazing and no one else compares to her. She is my idol and I love her. I will be buying every single and album she puts out forever. She is a true humble artist and I love that God has so much for her and the haters can’t stop Gods plan for her.
MS kelly doing it .. Keri has written for her before but the song never made it on MS KELLY ABLUM …
Umm… since when was “Like This” a smash? It was a good song, but it failed to even make it to top 40 and killed the momentum for “Ms. Kelly”. Stop trying to skew the facts.
nick it reached top 30 gets your facts straight.
Look idiots was the song a “smash hit?” NO. But it wasn’t a bomb either. The song charted all over the place and she has to be commended for that. Let’s not forget this is Kelly with the Knowles camp. We all know what went down. As far as I’m concerned she was lucky to have this with the s***** work Mathew Knowles was doing, or lack there of work. It was a cute little song so let’s not get carried away. When’s the last time any song of any of you have charted anywhere??? Below are the charts.
Australian ARIA Singles Chart 13
Austrian Singles Chart 75
Belgian (Flanders) Singles Chart 50
Canadian Hot 100 2
Dutch Singles Chart 46
Euro Digital Songs 8
Eurochart Hot 100 Singles 16
German Black Charts 6
Global Dance Tracks 21
Irish Singles Chart 5
New Zealand Singles Chart 11
Swiss Singles Chart 77
UK Singles Chart 4
U.S. Billboard Hot 100 30
U.S. Billboard Pop 100 44
U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs 7
U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play 1
@12345, did u just ask when was “Promise” as hit? it was #11 on hot 100 and #1 on r&b charts, AND it was critically acclaimed. idk what planet you live on. That song and Fergie’s “London brigde” are probably the biggest songs Polow has produced.
anway, good luck to Kelly. hopefully her support on this site will translate to big sales!
B****, “Promise” was a hit it was #11 on Billboard Hot 100, w/ over 100+ mill radio impressions & it was #1 on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop. & “Like This” was a moderate hit, sit yo hating ass down. ANYWAY, lmao. I CAN’T F***** WAIT!! KELLY IS GOIN INN!!!
If it aint gay it aint rite lmao. (Beyonce n lady gaga) That’s why the industry the way it is because of haters. Even if kellz come out with a number one single, people will not support simply because they are beyonce fans, people won’t give credit when its due “via her winnin a grammy” . Kelly do your thing baby! Stay tru to ya self and your art. Have them haters drink bleach.
Haters need not be addressed; this post is about Kelly Rowland and no one else, definitely not a about a NOBODY!!! Like This went to # 30 on the Billboard 100 Charts thus making it a Top 30 hit. Which is why it’s referred to as a Top 30 “HIT” I’m not even gonna even defend the song because it lacked promotion and still went hard in the clubs and on radio. I’m so excited about this album, and it will speak for itself. The album will go to number one, and will have strong first week sales and continue to sell throughout the summer. The album will be one of the best albums of the summer, and it will fly off of shelves. I’m coppin my five, and that’s all that matters to ME!
Kelly’s been in the studio with Brian Kennedy and Andre Merritt. additionally she has signed to EMI records not Universal Mowtown. In link 1 she says her A&R agent is Omar Grant: http://kellyrowland.com/2010/01/13/kellys-blog-1132010/#more-141 and link 2 tells us that Omar Grant works for EMI Records and Publishing after previously working at Music World Entertainment as Destiny’s Child A&R agent: http://www.urbannetwork.com/cms/index.php?news=887
Wowwww im dying here people. My girl is gonna bring it on tha new record. I don´t know why people or hatin on my girl. She is one off the few female artist who can sing, dance and act. So haters pleasseeee fall the f*** back, cause my girl is goin to show this world down with this one. Yah betta warned your the other female artist. How you doin!
Good job Kelly, it looks like it is really bout to happen now.
Ahhhhh s***. Ms Kelly ain’t playin’ with this album. Work it out boo!
SMH. They serving hate on a platter in here 😆 . i think Ms. Kelly’s new album will be great. Whether ppl support it or not I def will. 🙂
Go kelly
@YAN. A Kelly-Keri collabo would simply be amazing. The only way it could get better is if they threw Brandy on it too, then I would die of the sheer hotness!!!
When her new album flops who is everyone going to blame not Matthew or Beyonce but then again her 16 stans will blame them. Nevermind the fact hat Kelly has horrible stage presence and her voice is always going out.Lets face it people Kelly is a flop without Beyonce.
This is going to be great! It better be! I hope no other artist try to take her shine either!
@ BBOP what do u win by putting Kelly down, Lets face it everyone knows that with a good producers and good song everyone can make plus with the talent that God gave Kelly she will prove u and many haters wrong. In fact she had very few good producers and song writers because all the good ones was given to (YOU KNOW DON’T PRETEND). So this time you can’t judge before listen to the album, which I am sure you will check it just to make sure. Stop hating because is not doing any good for our artists, If can’t support just BE QUIET.
I just want the album already. It will be interesting to see what she and Polow concoct in the lab this time. I’m sure Kelly will shut alot of people up this year. I know she has some tricks up her sleave. If she was going to allow her career to fail and her legacy to be summed up in Destinys Child,then she might as well have stayed with Matthew Knowles and the Columbia crew but she didn’t. She left them because she wanted the opportunity to do big things with her career; and she’s done more in one year away from the Knowles clan than she had in the eight years that she spent under there management and guidance. A critically acclaimed show (The Fashion Show) on a popular network (Bravo), An international smash (When Love Takes Over), a Grammy win (for When Love Takes Over); not to mention she single handedly put David Guetta on the map and made him one of th most sought after producers of 2010. She’s working with A-list producers and she’s creating what I believe will be the biggest and possibly the best album of her career. Kelly has evolved with every album that she has recorded and her performances for this album will show and prove. People who are hoping to see her fail need to prepare themselves for the upset because Kelly is coming with that hotness and she will be around for as long as she wants to be because unlike many other artist in this game,Kelly has already achieved major success and longevity. She’s established herself as a moderately successful pop star. Now she’s establishing herself as the type of artist people will be talking about (positively) years from now. She’s positioning herself for Icon status.
Everybody’s not superficial, and when Kelly releases this album, she’s going to gain an even broader fanbase. Haters…umm…not relevant. Ms. Kelly please bring on that first single and fast. Just a snippet, please!!!!
WOW PLUG I LOVE YOUR OUTLOOK AND I CAN SEE THAT YOU TRULY LOVE MS KELLY LIKE ALL OF HER TRUE FANS DO AND I KNOW MS KELLY IS GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN – SHES ONLY 29 AND REALLY HAS 10 SOLID YEARS LEFT MUSCIALLY SPEAKING – I SEE HER DOING MORE ACTING AS WELL BUT ON THE MUSIC TIP I COULD EASILY SEE 4 MORE ALBUMS A COMPILATION ALBUM VIDEO ALBUM AND LIKE 4 MORE TOURS IF SHE DEVOTES HERSELF FULLY TO HER LABEL AND CRAFT – DAMN DC3 AND EVERYONE ELSE – MS KELLY ITS ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOU ONLY – LET NO ONE STEAL YOUR SHINE!!!!
I think good things are going to come to Kelly now on because she left Pimp Daddy and now finding her own way. This is so good for her and I am happy for her to.
@ 12345
LET ME EDUCATE YOU ON A LITTLE SOMETHING IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. ANY SONG IN THE TOP 40 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 CHART IS CALLED A (WHAT?)
hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘LIKE THIS’ PEAKED AT NUMBER 30 AND ‘PROMISE’ PEAKED AT NUMBER 11 SO THANK YOU BYE HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Lyric,
Thanks! Yes I do love Ms. Kelly and my fellow fstans/fans because I know we’re all on the same page. We know what she’s capable of. misunderstood and called delusional, but in the end, Kelly’s all that matters. At times we’re Blog sites are so bias that they know she’s talented, but refuse to let their favorite artist(s) be overshadowed, but it’s ok because there is a world outside of the internet, and all they see is Kelly left Matthew, she really does have a backbone. This mkes them inquire to see what she’s serving up. Of course we know that the singles will carry the album, but we also know that she’ll gain more fans daily because of the solid material she’s going to put forth , and that will carry the album even farther.
Also – Promise came out before “Like This”. ‘
Working with big names does not gurantee a hit. Good luck to her but she is simply not a stand out talent.
Plug, you are giving Kelly way too much credit. That fashion show flopped! And the song she was FEATURED on she did not make the producer famous. C’mon – be a fan,but keep it real. David won the grammy not Kelly. Kelly has not done more the last year than she has in her solo career.
This is great. Loving Kelly ! Can’t wait for the album. @Liberal, Kelly did win a grammy. Do your research, and since she has worked with Guetta everyone is trying to work with him. Anyways Kelly will do great.
