Kelly Rowland‘s new single ‘Commander’ has received an almost unanimously positive reception since debuting two weeks ago; with only a select few lamenting over its ‘dance’ sound. It now appears Rowland and her team are set to cover all ground, in the form of an ‘Urban Mix’ of the song. Hitmaker Rico Love (who penned the song), played the slowed down, R&B incarnation of ‘Commander’ on Twitter moments ago. Check it out below…

Another day, another Azealia Banks rant aimed at her peers.
Despite recently announcing she has new music loading for 2025, Banks – instead of promoting the eagerly anticipated cut – is using her platform to cut into her more successful fellow femcees.
#Barbz bummed that their fave Nicki Minaj was recently snubbed by the GRAMMYs yet again were given some royally good news when the Rap Queen took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to confirm the deluxe edition of her last chart-topping album, 2023’s ‘

I think the single is dope overall! She deserves this success. It’s been her strongest “hit” since “Stole”. Bring it on, Kelly! ♥
Thats hot. I’m feeling the R&B vibe. I also liked the Thinking Bout You remix that she did with Mario. Go Team Kelly!!!
Kelly’s ON FIRE! LOVE the single, i think she will be so successful with this CD. Teaming up with Guetta was the best decision of her life.
Kelly kelly kelly i love u gurl this song is fire and the video lookin hot if this song didnt enter the top ten on hot 100 theres df something wrong with those pepole
KELLY SUCKS !!!!!!!!
THATGRAPEJUICE : KELLY ROWNLAND FAN SITE !!
stop with this b**** please ! she had no solo career , she can’t
Yo!!!!!!!! Kelly realy aint playing this time around she is really serving it the hotnes hopefully like last time when she did the exact sam ething with Ms. Kelly and got a lukewarm response hopefully this time the masses will latch on to great quality music! Rico Love is really coming up in the game!!
no one wants to see that fat face
dance version is way better
the oomph is missing here
ITS OK PREFER THE OTHER VERSION

I reckon Drake should be on this track, and ain’t it funny how Kelly haters (its done to beyonce as well) always find themselves watching her videos, if she sucks so bad why are you watching? Personally more of fan of her doing RnB Love again, and Work are my favorites, but she is actually making me listen to dance music so she must be doing something right.
Sounds good! Though I prefer the dance version it’s still really good.
HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!
Both Versions are FIRE!!!
YES…. I Love It!…. She should have a rapper featured on it …. Nicki + Drake’s flow would fit nicely
this would be better if they would re-record her vocals…
my chick bad – i think theyre on to something – gotta hear a hq version with an offical rapper to make final judgement but its sounding perfect for the us market
This s*** is HOT!!!
Lola you mad ? If you don’t like it, then why wasting your time commenting ? Just hit the red cross at the top of your screen and shut the hell up. NeXt ==>
I like it better than the original cuz if that dance foolisheness is what kelly is serving this time i wont be buying the album.
BAM BAM you probably were not gonna support anyway so suck a fat one..
exactly – all the ppl who complian about her direction acts like this is all she does – she has a rnb album and a pop rock influence album plus all features so there is a widdde range of music under her belt – “ppl want the only kells buy her old album” thanks jay lol
stay complaining – i love the dance directiong – it crosses all borders and provides no limits to what audience it will reach – she scream international solo star and that is who she is catering too – the us (urban audience) which seems to be the only ones complaining will either get on board or go back to soulja boy and them who they seem to die for – ms kelly is is her own loane and is make tidal waves – HOLD ON BEFORE U GET SWEPT AWAY!!
Wow! This could really work. This could be playing on all those Urban radios (not that I think she should care but w/e) while Commander (Dance Mix) could be playing on the Pop stations. Rico told yall he wasn’t gonna f*** around with Kelly’s s***. Its gonna be straight fire this time! Very excited about this record.
NICEEEEEE! Kelly isn’t playing around! By the way. The IP address says that LOLA and … are the same ppl. Go figure. GTFOH you lame ass.
this version is horrible for one she’s talking about dancing and it slow and mellow the dance version is fire this is bull s***
that was sick!!!!!THIS IS MS> KELLY’s TIME
yeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
WHY CAN I NOT WATCH IT!!
*cries*
OK OK OK OK !!!! WORK IT KELLY, this is cute girl…ooooh I hope she does well, she did this !!!!! BOTH MIXES ARE HOTT!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOVE THAT!!! I NEED THAT VERSION ON MY IPOD TOO, ASAP!!!
GET EM KELLY, CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CD!!
OMG! I love this!!!!!!!!!! I soooo prefer this over the original!!!!!!!!
wayne needs to be on this
Yeeeeeeees i prefer this version over the original!
I think the house mix will be a hit in Canada where I am, and in Europe. This urban mix is great and will have 106 & Park success. It’s up tothe American fans toi financially support her project!
#FAIL
I love the beat and the vibe of the song!!!
But it doesn’t fit the lyrics of the song at all!
I think they should use the same melody and switch up a few of the lyrics to make this feel completely like a slow jam!
Like change…
“and I command you to……DANCE”
…to…
“and I Command you to……strip” 😉
That’s a hot mix! Way better than that garbage David Guetta was trying to put out
Work it Kelly honey.
Sorry dont like this remix. Turns it into just another samey Urban track, of which there are plenty to choose from at the moment. Will be good for the US market, as the Americans like all their stuff to sound the same.
Stick with the original dance concept Kelly, and go for something more original.
I like the groove/music but I just don’t like these lyrics, especially the whole ‘Commander’ thing (kinda corny to me). I don’t know about her prospects but it’s nice that Kelly has a lot of fans on this website who manage to remain optimistic & supportive.
Lurvss this GO Kellzzz
I just heard ” UNITY ” by Kelly Rowland on the radio … love this song !!! Is there a video for this track yet ? Commander is hot as well ~ can’t wait for the new album 😉
I love this mix it is so Hott yesssssss Kelly I will be supporting you all the way. Trust the urban market will eat that up with a hot rapper on it. For the people saying the song is about dancing ……………..ummmm have you ever heard of slow winding dancing only the urban lovers like myself would know about that so song lyrics fit perfectly for slow urban dancing. I love both versions I play Commander everyday at least 20 times.
lola u r the biggest b**** f*** u
i prefer the original, but still love all the versions of this song…Kelly has a hit on her hands i pray her team uses it well.
Yessss! Put Luda and Drake on that and re-record those vocals to make them more sultry and that would be a HIT! I Love Kelly, Rico ain’t playin.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F***** HOT
LUDA MUST HERE ALONG WITH NICKI MINAJ!!!!!
GO KELLY
I like how they slowed it down …. I can c ma girl giving me a lap dance to this shyt !!!
I think Drake or Trey Songz
anne its a fact that we love her so much she wouldnt understand staymad thats y u r mad because u r the failure bambam no1 ask u to buy her album kelly dont want u sweetie money
urban means n***** right???
OMG…..THAT WAS HOT, I THINK THEY SHOULD RE DO THE VOCALS MORE S*** AND SEDUCTIVE TYPE SINGING AND PUT EITHER NICKI MINAJ OR LUDA OR T.I AND THIS WOULD BE A BANGER FOR REAL THAT BEAT WAS AMAZING I WONDER WHO DID THAT I COULD BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT SONG…GO KELLY
i like it, but wished she re recorded for a more sultry vocal
i do like though. i think imma need a Luda rap on this.
NO TO NICKI MINAJ
OMG IM DYING HERE – PEEP WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
The song was well received by critics who noted Rowland and Guetta as a winning formula. Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said “…It looks as though they’re going to be ruling the airwaves all over again. … After she lulls us into a false sense of security (“I feel like the DJ is bodyguard / You see the way he keeps me safe? / With the treble and the bass?”), the track plunges into a pounding electro-house chorus that quite literally orders us to the dance floor … The result isn’t quite as fresh and inventive as some of Guetta’s recent output – Kelis’s ‘Acapella’, for example – but it goes a long way towards recapturing some of last summer’s magic…”[6] Ivan Ibarra of DjBooth.net also agreed saying “The David Guetta-produced jam will definitely have dancers fist-pumping in their favorite Jersey Shore re-enactment. Vocally Kelly delivers a performance that marries Guetta’s production perfectly…”[7] Robert Daw of Idolator said “if you think Ms. Kelly is taking the go-go boots off anytime soon, then you’d best go lean against the wall, flower. Rowland’s Guetta-produced new single ‘Commander’ is pure strobe-light adrenaline rush. … [it] will appear on Kelly’s as-yet-untitled third solo album … we’re predicting a full on Rowland Renaissance!”.[8]
OMG PPL WE HAVE COINED A NEW PHRASE – THE ROWLAND renaissance
This is horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they gonna do a urban version which they dont need to do, she need to re-record the vocal, further more the lyrics just doesnt fit with beat. The mix is hot but the vocals and lyrics not matching.
LOVE the dance version !!!!! played it at my party saturday, everybody loved it !!!!
Go team Kelly !
A for Effort&creativity tho
Loves loves loves it cant wait to they do the revocals on this
Love it 😀
NIIIIIIICE !
YESS!! THIS IS B A N G I N G ! This will blow up on US R&B – and so will cater to her old fans while the original mix by David Guetta will provide for all the new ones she required with the incredible “When Love Takes Over”.
I LOVE and prefer the original mix but this is GREAT tooo! They need to release BOTH versions – so Kelly can dominate Pop AND R&B markets at the same time (as miss err…dare I say Beyonce did with her I Am…singles)
I will reserve my comment re liking or disliking the song cuz 1. I need to heard a better quality cuz it sounds the same to me 2. The lyrics is dance so doing RnB is kinda off 3. The arrangement of the song can be done way differently of suite the genre. etc.
