Kelly Rowland fans, affectionately called #RowlandStones, may have just gotten their hands on her long-awaited new music courtesy of the February 19-released EP ‘K,’ but the ‘Speed of Love’ singer is already racing to craft its follow-up.
The 6-song effort is the fullest body of work she has released since her last studio album, ‘Talk a Good Game.’ The wait between that 2013 project and ‘K’ has inspired Rowland (under the urging of fans) to ensure no such delay occurs again, as she detailed during her ongoing promo run of the opus.
In addition to guesting on the likes of ‘Extra,’ ‘Access Hollywood,’ and ‘Entertainment Tonight’ in promotional support of the EP (as we reported here), Kelly was most recently spotted at CBS’ ‘The Talk’ and on high profile radio outlets to build awareness about ‘K.’
Look inside to hear her dish at length about the EP and her plans for the rest of 2021:
While visiting ‘Crisco Kidd Block Party,’ Kelly was quizzed on if the new EP was designed to tide fans over until the arrival of her next studio album. The GRAMMY winner’s surprising response detailed plans to follow ‘K’ with a series of other EPs.
“I feel like right now there are no rules to releasing music. I’ve watched so many artists – new artists especially – drop music and there is so much freedom in that,” said Rowland. “I told myself it would be great to put out a record every quarter, and that’s my goal right now. I do feel like in each season you have something different to say or different to express. I’m excited and have already started working on the next EP.”

Did you miss Miss Kelly on CBS ‘The Talk’ Monday (February 22)? See it below:
Wrong move, all of your EP must be finished before you start with one! Big mistake.
No hate intended – but Kelly you are NOT starting to record your next EP 🧐 You ALREADY recorded the material and you plan on PUTTING IT OUT on your next EP. Let’s not pretend the past 4 years of recording have yielded nothing and now you suddenly wanna act brand new and hop in the studio and record material in the next 6 weeks to put out in June. No Mam’. Just NO.
Exactly. Her plan is to basically to break up the material for her album into EP’s and shoot videos here and there. I not understanding why she even tries at this point, just collect your royalties and go on about your life because it all seems half ass at this point.
So what! Let her live!
All the s*** I was talking, I take back. I like some of the songs and I’m excited for her.
I was watching LIKE THIS FT EVE yesterday and Kelly hasn’t aged…
Nobody currrrr. Did anyone even check for the last one? I’m genuinely asking, because I didn’t check it fo ish! 🤣👋🏽
I do. That makes you OPINION invalid. Hating ass. DO BETTER!
No thank you, but the EP had a few songs I liked
I only like her bad hair soundtrack songs💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 Love the 80s vibe. I was hoping she will release a throwback album….
I stead if just giving us a nice length album. These artist really be f***** up
Okay, you know the f*** what? Kelly, her team and management and ROC Nation can kiss the crack of my ass! So we’re just going act like Kelly hasn’t been recording this damn album since DECEMBER 2013‼️ She’s been giving snippets, dropping singles and videos, actively talking about a damn album and now all of sudden it’s 4 EP’s? She was just saying last year she was dropping “K” BEFORE the album release. I’m not understanding her explanation either but then again, she’s always been one to follow and not lead. I’m tired and I give up. Supporting her is pointless. She’s always blamed management and labels but now that’s she’s indie, the real problem is Kelly. It’s too late in the game to expect anything great of her, she has had years to be great but she seems to only want to do the bare minimum.
And gonna flop every quarter to
Chile 💯🤣
Here for it!
You would be, flop loving ass
I sho’ tf do love her, always have, and will continue. That’s MY right! It’s just sad people like you exist naturally and electronically. You need to grow up! I know you’re a grown ass MAN acting like that, and that’s the sad part. Lonely b**ch. Get another hobby. Hell, invent something EXCLUDING more reasons for people to hate your miserable ass!
Oh honey, people LUHHHHH ALL of this ass 👄🍆💦
I’m here for it. I love the EP every song and if she puts out a EP every quarter I think it’s great. That’s means you will get more songs then just a album. four EP this year could mean six songs on each. If it was a album it would’ve only been one with up to what 10 songs with a few bonus.
She ‘talks a good game’ lol! See what I did there?
But the music is good this go round so I’ll stream.
