Like her DC sister Beyonce, singer Kelly Rowland is about to have a very busy 2013. Between performing in two weeks during Super Bowl Half Time when Destiny's Child reunites on stage together for the first time in almost a decade, Kelly is also dropping her fourth album, Year of the Woman sometime this Spring.
Kelly has worked with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Rico Love, Kevin Cossom, T-Minus, and Rock City on her new album, which means it will most likely be filled with sexy dated R&B tracks that black people stopped purchasing from an actual record shop around the time the Virgin Megastore closed in Times Square.
Kelly's last three albums have been pretty lackluster in regards to hits, and it wasn't until she started collaborating with David Guetta that for the first time I saw Kelly as a divalicious force to be reckoned with. It was the first time she was making music that helped her stand outside of Beyonce's shadow and solidified her as a dance diva-in-training who could have been this generation's Donna Summer. But then she (or someone she's paying in her camp) is advising her to keep making songs that sound like Motivation and then they're shocked when her albums flop. I just wish Kelly would get it through her thick skull and abandon the R&B sound/audience that has never bought her lackluster three albums and would at least attempt to give us that fierce music we know she's capable of making. Kisses Down Low while a cute track just feels like Kelly is forcing the sex appeal to sell records.
Anyways, take a listen below and feel free to express your opinions on the song if you like.
