Kelly Rowland (of Destiny's Child and Jason versus Freddy) is re-releasing her (flop-ish) album "Miss Kelly" in a "Diva Edition" this April. The re-release will include some new material, and I have my hands on what are RUMORED to be the new tracks.
The original album was not BAD, but it was not great either. I liked the Tank-assisted track "The Show", and the first single "Like This" had some appeal, but it just didn't connect. It was all just kind of aight. New year, new tracks.
"No Man, No Cry" made me feel cheated - its a mid-tempo R&B joint and for some odd reason I wanted it to have some kind of reggae influence (why else use that title and chorus?). But maybe I am crazy. "Daybreak" with Travis Barker is an aight track, "Love Again" is boring, "Unity" sounds like something Jordin Sparks would be singing, and "Broken" . . . I don't even know what to say. None of this is better than the original album, and I honestly hope this is the stuff that DIDN'T make the cut for the new release. PLEASE.
On some level, I guess she doesn't want to sound like Beyonce, but Kelly may have to giver her girl a call and take some suggestions. She would be better off going the way of Bey, Janet, DK, etc and make some more damn club songs or something - cuz she is just boring the hell outta me and I WANT to like her stuff but she makes it hard.
Note to Kelly: call Timbaland, Danja, Swizz Beatz - hell even T-Pain - and get some new-sounding material, cuz you killin us.

I think this will be a good look for her. I don't think most people will think so though.
man what was annoying about the "like this" single was that the harmonies were stronger than her actual vocals. she just needs to let beyonce exec produce her next album.
