I have decided to do my first artist profile, and in honor of new beginnings my first artist of note will be someone who is embarking on new beginnings as well, Ms. Kelly “Long Legs” Rowland. I'm sure you may not know Kelly Rowland, former Destiny's Child back up singer member struck out on her own, long ago. But NOW, after years of waiting for that one song to catapult the 27 year old to success, I must admit, she is DOING it BIG. Her voice has always been amazing (as well as her style, she has the sickest Louboutin heels of life), but with a change in management, sound, and label that voice now has a chance to shine. Admittedly, this solo success is completely overdue. Rowland has spent over 15 years singing as a member of Destiny’s Child (formerly Girlz Time) and making failed attempts to launch a solo career. As a member of Destiny’s child she has won numerous Grammy’s and has toured in well over 100 countries. I bought Kelly's new solo album "Here I Am" last night, and I have to admit each track is a hit. For all you you freaks out there, Kelly has said that she recently discovered her sexuality making this album, and it definitely shows! Rowland dazzles as she sings sexual melodies such as Down for Whatever (OHHH LOOVVVVAAA), but then entices with songs such as Lay It On Me ft. Big Sean. I loved Kelly as a Destiny's Child member (no matter how little she sung), but now I love Kelly Rowland, the artist, songwriter, and entrepreneur. Not only does she have a new album, she is also featured as the host of the UK’s X Factor. I personally don’t care for singing competition shows, mainly due to the fact that they remind me of karaoke bars, but I do tune in online from time to time just to see Kelly’s outfits words of wisdom. Not only can she sing, but she has a gift that only a select few of us can posses...being DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. She has been sealed into an elite category of beautiful women, with verses such as “...With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowland’s," (from Kanye West "Power") and this album will seal her into an elite category of amazing singers. After listening to her song "Motivation" it is safe to say, Kelly Rowland, YOU are my Motivation. (bet you didn’t see that one coming! get it? "Motivation") *insert giggle*
