“Writing and recording Ms. Kelly has definitely been a learning process,” the young artist offers. “And I like that it was. I needed to prove something to myself: that I can make great music, stay true to who I am and, more importantly, be my own woman, in and out of the studio. Making Ms. Kelly made me grow up, in every aspect of my life.”

About Ms. Kelly
They say that change can be a good thing. Just ask Kelly Rowland, a founding member of Destiny’s Child, the top-selling female recording group of all-time, and a best-selling Grammy-winning solo artist in her own right.
By 2006, Destiny’s Child had wrapped the group’s “Destiny Fulfilled” farewell tour and Kelly Rowland — who’d successfully debuted as a solo artist in 2002 with a global smash album, Simply Deep, and a chart-topping Grammy-winning hit single, “Dilemma” –decided to record her second solo album, a collection of new songs reflecting who she was and where she was going as a woman and as an artist.
The result, Ms. Kelly is the long-awaited successor to Rowland’s best-selling 2002 solo debut album, Simply Deep, which has sold more than 2.5 copies worldwide, debut at #1 in the UK and Australia. Simply Deep showcased the smash hit, “Dilemma,” Kelly’s duet with the rapper Nelly, which earned the Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in 2003 and spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.
By 2005 and the release of Destiny Child’s chart-topping #1’s album, Kelly could see that her creative impulses were heading in new directions and decided to express that joy and freedom on her latest album. “Yeah,” Kelly says, radiating confidence, “I’m totally proud of what I initially worked on but the more I lived with it, the more I grew to realize that I wanted to really focus on where I am today. I said, ‘Kelly. You’re 25 years old! You like to party and you want your songs to be played in clubs.’ I wanted to my new record to sound as young as I feel, so that’s what I focused on.”
The result is the eagerly-awaited Ms. Kelly. Featuring production from some of the most innovative names in the game — including Polow Da Don, Sean Garrett, Tank, Scott Storch, Rockwilder, SoulShock and Karlin, and Billy Mann — as well as guest appearances from Eve and Snoop Dogg, Ms. Kelly is 100% Kelly Rowland 2007: sexy, honest, playful, and passionate. “I really put my heart and soul into this record,” she enthuses, “and not only am I excited that everyone’s going to hear the music, I’m looking forward to people getting to hear the real me. That’s the reason I called the album Ms. Kelly. Because the title is all about respect, being an adult and that’s how I feel about my life, and my music. I know it’s kind of a clich
