It’s Kelly’s Turn Now

For a decade now, it has been the Beyoncé show.

It just has.

Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have been working tirelessly to break out from under their sister of Destiny’s shadow, and while that may prove futile in the end, they have been making their own way.

Williams has a good thing going doing gospel and theater, but it is Rowland, especially, who is poised to have a breakthrough 2013.

She already (smartly) aired a healthy little bit of her Dirty Laundry” in a track off her upcoming new album Talk a Good Game. It’s not a B-bashin’ song but rather, a confession of her jealousy of Mrs. Carter’s success and, more poignantly, of her experience in an abusive relationship.

It’s not the kinda thing that will burn up Top 40 radio or get remixed for the dance floor but rather, a cred-earner.

And Rowland (also oh-so-smartly) has recruited both of her BFF for the quicker tempo You’ve Changed.” “Commander” this ain’t, either – but it’s nice to hear Rowland and her girls harmonize again. Have a sample:


Talk a Good Game comes out on June 18.
