New Song: Ne-Yo – ‘Tonight’ (Kelly Rowland Demo)

Published: Thursday 11th Mar 2010 by Sam

As previously reported, our girl Kelly Rowland has been working with hit-maker Ne-Yo on her forthcoming Universal Motown debut. There is now reliable word that new Ne-Yo demo ‘Tonight’ (formerly titled ‘Halo’) has indeed been recorded by the Destiny’s Child alumni for the record.

Although it’s currently unknown if the reference track will indeed feature on the album (which itself is said to be close to completion), the song certainly makes for a compelling listen. If this is what Ms. Kelly is cooking up in the lab, I’m even more amped for the album than I was previously! Produced by Stargate and penned by Ne-Yo, the song is a great embodiment of the Urban/Pop/Dance sound Kelly is going for this go round.

Check it out below:

  2. zenguru March 11, 2010

    if she doesnt record this is INSAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. rickky March 11, 2010

    That song is a banger…but i am glad they changed the title jus due to the fact that B named her song “halo” and if Kelly had a song with the same name people would claim that she was copying or yea yea yea…But if she did record this that would be hot…I can so hear Kelly’s voice killin it and her harmony and power…I am gettin hyped again i better go before i explode…lol

  4. frizzybabe March 11, 2010

  5. Ashley March 11, 2010

  7. Ryan March 11, 2010

    I’m in agreeance with every else, this song is sick! I can almost Kelly singing this… I hope this is real.

  8. Muni March 11, 2010

    Kelly vocals will be sick in this song, I can’t wait, bring it on. WE LOVE YOU KELLY

  9. memo March 11, 2010

    don’t get me wrong, i like kelly rowland, she comes across very sweet and she has a good voice on her but there’s nothing about her that intrigues me or excites me. hmm :/ just sayin

  10. Renae March 11, 2010

    Hope Kelly does well, but she need to get some of these songs on the airway if she’s trying to drop a cd in the summer. I mean if I didn’t read gossip sites I wouldn’t know she was doing anything.

  11. Muni March 11, 2010

    @MEMO after this album you will love KELLY trust me, because everyone knows what was going on with the old management, she couldn’t work with producers she wanted and type of music she wanted to do, but everything is different now , KELLY will shine trust me. I am sure her new label and management have different plans to crack US, because internationally she is fine. WE LOVE YOU KELLY WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT , JUST KEEP WORKING HARD AND MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES WHICH WE ARE LOVING SO FAR, THIS ALBUM GOING TO TO BE #1 EVERY WHERE!!!!

  12. rnbcascade March 11, 2010

    I’ve never been prouder to be a kelly stan!! Its like watching my wife finally get that promotion she worked so hard for….. this song is nice…… I can’t wait for a single.. every1 says her firrst single is f****** insane!!

  13. Meechy05 March 11, 2010

    No this does not scream hit, I hope this isn’t on the album cuz Kelly has a. powerful Voice and she needs songs that showcases that, I give it a thumb’s. Down and I know good music……

  14. Dave March 11, 2010

    Idk about it now. I agree it doesn’t scream hit to me right now. But, hopefully whatever is on Kelly’s album punches all the way through.

  15. C. March 11, 2010

    Sound of keybords from the beginning reminds me last Britney single but it’s crappier.

  16. Rickky March 11, 2010

    you have to keep in mind that yea it might not scream hit but u are hearing a demo with no adlibs really no layered vocals…If Kelly hopped on this and added her power and strengths it could scream hit…I agree with MUNI i think there is gonna be an outburst of promo in April when her single drops…I think her label is gonna push her and she is so happy in the zone and space that she is in…KELLY WE KNOW YOUR GONNA KILL IT!!! and UNIVERSAL YALL BETTA PUSH THIS TALENT TO THE TOP…NO half assed promo pull out the stops and have her EVERYWHERE

  17. Vah JJ! March 11, 2010

    HIT! SHe needs to record this ASAP!

  18. MusicAddict(Keri Hilson-“Return The Favor”) March 11, 2010

    Kelly is going to s*** on 2010! Go Miss Kelly. Your time has finally come..

  19. ADE March 11, 2010

    NICE! the beat goes hard! which is no surprise since its a Stargate production

  20. JAY March 11, 2010

    NOW I LOVE KELLY,…BUT THIS SONG JUST DOESNT DO ANYTHING FOR ME….

  21. stan March 11, 2010

    hm, it’s alright, but maybe it’s because of the vocals.. i’m not a huge fan of ne-yo. maybe when kelly puts in her vocal, it’ll be much better.

  22. Mrs. Darren shellychelle Sharper March 11, 2010

    Straight banger! Neyo sure knows how to make the hits I ♥ it!

  23. jay March 11, 2010

    Reminds me of “Work” part 2…it,s just ok for me…more of an album filler…

  24. 12345 March 11, 2010

    kelly said she loves “Rude Boy” by Rihanna, how does it feel knowining that your favourite likes the one that you hate?

  25. Ghetto Fab March 11, 2010

    This sounds hot considering it’s not even her first single. It’s got a reggae feel to it. You guys got to remember its just a demo. Her album is shaping up to be quite nice. People can get mad and sleep on her all they want. But good music cannot and will not be denied. This album is going to do well. Wether some of you like it or not. Even if she isn’t number one, guaranteed her album will do better than the last two when she had “other” management. This girl is working hard and it should be noticed and this time i think it finally will.

  26. Joe Sullivan March 11, 2010

    this is not single material! and i want every song to be single material! its filler in my opinion, but i do like it

  27. Rob March 11, 2010

    Kelly better hurry the f*** up! Now is the time before Beyonce come back out and shut all the other R&B chicks out. Run b****** run!

  28. Its Me Again March 11, 2010

    Where’s the Lady Gaga video TGJ?

  29. Muni March 11, 2010

    @ 12345 it shows that Kelly is a good person, She wants everybody to do well not only her, she is not selfish, She is too honest probably that is doesn’t help her sometimes, especially in music industry where most of artists are so fake. You gotta love Kelly simply for her personality and plus the great artist that she is. WE LOVE YOY KELLY.

  30. q March 11, 2010

    i think the beat dont hit hard enough 4 me change the beat it needs to be more of a naughter beat

  31. Taylor March 11, 2010

    Just heard ” UNITY ” by Kelly Rowland on the radio … love this song ! Wish she would put this on her new album as a remix – a beautiful ballad. Can’t wait to hear this one live in concert – Go Kelly 😉

  32. Kemar follow me on Twitter @Live4_theBRONX March 11, 2010

    I love it !!!! Kelly betta record this !! Her album is gonna be crrrraaaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyyyyy ! Haters watch and see !

  33. Jamie March 11, 2010

    I like what I hear, and when Kelly get’s on it, I know I’ll love it. I wish the song was still called Halo because it has a good concept to it from listening to the song. Forget what Beyonce released; this Kelly Rowland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fall in line or fall back!!!!!!

    S.N: I believe this will be featured on the album because during the SYTYCD interview she said she worked with Ne-Yo and Stargate.

  34. parisian girl March 11, 2010

    yesss i love it it’s not single worthy but it’s good!!!
    she needs to record it!

  35. Dilla March 11, 2010

    I like this song, great job Kelly and Neyo

  36. divawithatwist March 11, 2010

    Kelly you look so much like your father Matthew and sister Beyonce. Do your thing girl, lots of love.

  37. SparkD March 11, 2010

    Nope. Sounds like Good Night, Good Morning by Brandy/Alexandra Burke.

    Well, it might just be a hit.

  38. lebo(Caribbeanboi) March 11, 2010

    nyce track, can’t wait to hear kelly onit

  39. Shane March 11, 2010

    This song is HOT. I’m not liking the chorus though. Every thing else is good.

  40. Meechy05 March 12, 2010

    ok listen to the song on my headphones it has potential but not a single….

  41. q March 12, 2010

    MEECHY IS FUNNIE ITS A HIT

  42. Tiffany March 12, 2010

    I agree I do like the song, at first when it came on I wasnt so sure but once the chorus hit it got me. However I am curious to hear how Kelly would sound on this song becuz she does have such a strong voice compared to NE-YO. But I do like the song and am awaiting Kelly’s album.

  43. Yerac Mitchell March 15, 2010

    This is HOT! Kelly will slam dump this.
