Kelly Rowland sprung a surprise on fans moments ago with the video debut for new song ‘Crown.’

An empowerment anthem with a mirroring visual to match, the release sees Ms. Kelly aim to uplift with a a message that is undoubtedly universal.

Nearly 6 years separate fans of Kelly Rowland, affectionately known as #RowlandStones, from a new album from the R&B songstress.  Despite building buzz along the way with isolated singles and other business ventures (see:  book, charity events, reality show singing competitions, etc.) scattered over the last half decade, promotional support for the aforementioned efforts was often accompanied with promises of ‘it’s coming’ as fans pressured for concrete news.

Now, speaking with our friends at Billboard, the 37-year-old has assured readers the wait’s nearly come to an end.  As fans continue to laud her braggadocious, eponymous single released at the tail end of 2018 (click here to listen), Rowland’s going on record to say its parent album is just about ready to come out of the oven:

After a lengthy drought, Kelly Rowland is quenching the thirst of fans with another taste of new music.

It’s been five years since the Grammy winner released an album and almost as long since the star has been talking of a follow-up project.

Now, however, it appears that the wheels are in motion and driving towards the arrival of fresh material.

Earlier this month Ms. Kelly teased an unheard song and moments ago she dropped another snippet.

Although the current musical landscape boasts the beauty of seeing some of music’s biggest hitmakers behind the scenes come to be stars in their own rights (see:  Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, etc.), the name “Poo Bear” rings bells for industry insiders in search of their next hit but not so much to the average music consumer.

Bear, born Jason Boyd, has seen his penmanship line the credits of hits from the likes of Justin Bieber (‘What Do You Mean’), Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Sam Smith, DJ Khaled (‘I’m the One’), Jennifer Lopez, and more.  As if that’s not enough, over 20 years into his career the 39-year-old helped mastermind 2017’s megahit, ‘Despacito’ (currently tied for the longest run atop the Hot 100).

With a mounting list of accomplishments in his storied career, Bear had yet to release a project that saw him at the forefront…until now.  Thanks to ‘Poo Bear Presents Bearthday Music’ (in stores now), the star songwriter/producer takes the driver seats in ways like never before.  Acting as curator for the “playlist set” (which features the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Zara Larsson, and more), Bear sat down with That Grape Juice to dish exclusively on how the project came to be, his next moves, and even working with pop icon Mariah Carey for her next album.

In need of motivation? From The Vault has you covered with a modern R&B classic.

This week’s pick is Kelly Rowland’s scintillating ‘Motivation.’

After releasing a bevy of chart-topping Pop and EDM bops (see: ‘Work’ and ‘When Love Takes Over’), Ms. Kelly re-embraced her first love – R&B music.

Teaming with Rico Love and Jim Josin, together they molded ‘Motivation’ and issued the jam as the launching single of Rowland’s third solo album ‘Here I Am.’  And in a major coup, she snagged the time’s man of the moment Lil’ Wayne to assist her on the sizzling track.

Thankfully for Rowland, despite years away on Euro shores, the US Urban scene was more than ready to welcome her back; the tune peaked at the top spot of the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B tally where it reigned for 7 consecutive weeks. It was also a Hot 100 Top 20, climaxing at #17.

Sarah Chatfield directed the sensual video for ‘Motivation’ and the legendary Frank Gatson served as its creative director.

Steamy and moody mise-en-scene served as the backdrop for the sensual visual, which saw Kelly command her troop of male dancers through thrust-heavy choreography courtesy of Luam.

And while the video showcased Kelly at her most provocative, it still evoked the same brand of class that she’s been synonymous with since the start of her career.

[Side note: her performance of the song at the 2011 BET Awards remains amazing forever and a day]

*************

Seeing Kelly at rock Coachella with her Destiny’s Child bandmates has us salivating even more at the prospect of things to come.

With the brand of R&B she’s been pushing for the most part of the decade once again being the “in” sound now, the time seems more than apt for her to show up and show out.

Fingers crossed that that the new music she’s been talking about for so long materlizes soon, because we’re ready to see Kelly back to Werk!
