Before Kelly Rowland turned heads and dropped jaws as headliner of London’s ‘Mighty Hoopla 2023,’ the diva was causing a hoopla of her own on the promo trail for her role as judge on Audible’s recently premiered ‘Breakthrough‘ – the world’s “first audio-only singing competition series.”
Spotted at ABC News, ‘The Today Show,’ and a number of other outlets in support of the Daveed Diggs-hosted venture, Rowland may have run the promo gamut for the podcast that’s searching for the next big music superstar but couldn’t escape pressing questions about her own new music.
Having already reiterated the desire for her next album (the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Talk a Good Game’) to be a “surprise drop,” the GRAMMY winner doubled down on the notion in her most recent press run while promising the first taste from the project is coming “soon.”
Hear it from her inside.
Taking to ‘Tamron Hall’ recently, Rowland dished on life lessons, motherhood and family, the push for her to portray Queen of Disco Donna Summer in a biopic (6:55 mark), and more.
When quizzed on when her devoted fans (affectionately called #RowlandStones) should expect new music, she emphasized that they’re closer than ever.
“I feel like I don’t want to give it a timeline, but I know it’s soon,” she said after elaborating on how she doesn’t feel tied to a particular music genre (at the video’s 9:00 mark). “I feel the urgency…it’s not that I’m rushing myself, but it’s time. It’s kind of been time…”
Her statement on ‘Tamron’ echoes sentiments she shared on ABC News and ‘New York Live.’
“I do want it to be a surprise. I feel like there’s so much that everyone knows already; I like the idea of spontaneity and mystery when it comes to music,” she told ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis after saying the music is coming “soon” (at the video above’s 5:36 mark).
The yet-titled effort will be her first full body of musical work since dropping 2021’s ‘K‘ EP, which featured the singles ‘Flowers,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Hitman,’ and ‘Black Magic.’
A fat bleaching thieving white woman wannabe getting washed by Taylor swift could never!!!! Kelly’s coming
I hope you realize simply supporting someone simply to spite another person who doesn’t even care is fake love because at the end of the day you don’t stream their music or buy their albums or attend their concerts lmao. That’s why they are all flops apart from Beyoncé. Also fat where? Bleached where? White where? It’s crazy how dense and unoriginal you loud gross weirdos are on the internet because I know dang well you aren’t a fit model looking person to be talking like this. Especially with that attitude. Using videos in dark lighting and where bey was clearly wearing heavy tan and bronzers yet wanna claim a naturally light skinned woman is bleaching when Kelly looks 2 shades lighter and laTavia looks 3 shades lighter LOL. Also ain’t nobody EVER washing up queen bey. Her 27 year long longevity is prooof. She legit just had her 9th solo number 1 hit and 11 overall. Taylor hasn’t even released her tour numbers yet white media is lying that she outgrossed queen bey when based on previous history it proves Taylor’s fan base isn’t as big, global or as diverse as bey’s and also just because Beyoncé doesn’t release 25 to 30 versions of 1 album with half a year long pre sales and trueviews ads for heavily inflated streams and doesn’t release 1 million albums a year doesn’t mean she is being washed up. Taylor swift flew 10 hours and dressed better for bey’s premier over here while bey told someone to drive her while she wore something casual for her standards and stayed for 12 minutes LOL. Cry
Hopefully she is doing old school disco this time, like a Donna summer inspired album.
I used to jamming the Bad hair soundtrack.
Yessssssss I can’t wait
Heaven
LOVE Kelly & Donna.
Let’s go Ms Kelly!!
😍🥰😍
