Kelly Rowland's new album on 21st September

Kelly Rowland is the eponymously-titled, third studio album by American singer Kelly Rowland due for release on September 21, 2010. It serves as the singer's debut project with Universal Motown and first since firing Matthew Knowles as her manager following the lackluster performance of her previous record Ms. Kelly (2007) which also resulted in the end of her deal with Columbia Records. Inspired by the success Rowland achieved when she collaborated with David Guetta on his 2009 worldwide number one dance single "When Love Takes Over" she has ensured that her third studio album Kelly Rowland contained tracks that crossover from R&B to dance and urban music.

Rowland described the mixture of genres as a reflection of the current stage of her career and desire not to be put in a box. This also resulted in the project being eponymously named as a further declaration that she had finally found her niche sound and happiness in producing uptempo music. Guetta reunited with Rowland for the album, including his production of the international lead single, "Commander" which topped the U.S. Dance Club Songs and UK Dance charts. Songwriter Rico Love also plays a big part on Kelly Rowland having written half of the album's songs. In the United States two alternative singles precede the album on June 29, 2010 including "Rose Colored Glasses" which was written by Esther Dean and produced by Dr. Luke for mainstream audiences as well "Grown Woman" produced by StarGate and penned by Ne-Yo for urban audiences.
