Well documented is the fact that Kelly Rowland‘s latest project has been quite the roller-coaster. Now set for release next year, the album’s revised deadline has afforded the 29 year old studio time with Urban heavyweights such as The-Dream & Tricky Stewert, Jermaine Dupri, Johnta Austin and Brian Michael Cox.
Now, hitmaker Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins can be added to the list of collaborators on the project.

Writing on Twitter today, Rowland said:
————————————–
Needless to say, this is perhaps the most exciting tidbit to emerge from the production process of the album – at least for yours truly. For the longest, I’ve salivated at the prospect of Darkchild hooking Ms. Kelly up with a solo ‘Lose My Breath’-esque track or something to the effect of Janet’s ‘Feedback’ – two of his most stand-out efforts in recent years.
This incarnation of the album, which I suspect was sneakily re-started from scratch (at least for the US market), is shaping up to be quite the winner. At least on paper, at this point. Roll on 2011.
Randomness: I wonder whose cutting these cheques for these A-list producers all of a sudden (Kelly? The label? Both?). Whatever the case, if there’s any justice in the world, it will pay-off.
The UK (Dance/Pop/Urban) version of the album – featuring production from the likes of David Guetta, Rico Love, Jim Jonsin, and Andre Merritt, is still slated for release on November 29th.
