Perhaps being around Kelly and Missy rubbed off. The “Kisses Down Low” singer always turns it out and she sizzles in a bodysuit. The scene where the ladies dance together is a treat and they have obvious chemistry. But if I had to choose a highlight, it would have to be the return of Missy Elliot. She looks healthier and happier than she has in years, rocking a mohawk and trademark tracksuit. Her presence complements the track’s retro ’90s sound perfectly. More »
But K-Row says she isn’t angry anymore against her abusive ex-beau: “We were two different people back then,” she said. “I’m in such a different space and so is he and he’s a good guy and I’m really happy for him the way his life turned out. My life isn’t so bad either.” More »
So it was a particular pleasure to get to catch up with the songbird last week on the day of her album release, where she talked about the journey over the last few years, her deliberation over the next single choice, what inspired her to release the confessional ballad “Dirty Laundry,” and whether the erstwhile dancefloor diva is sticking with R&B or gearing up for more big house anthems.

In “Dirty Laundry,” the confessional ballad off her solid new album Talk a Good Game, the new X Factor judge sings of how she felt tortured by both an abusive romantic relationship and Beyonce‘s solo success. Since the release of “Dirty Laundry,” Rowland’s grown quite comfortable to talk about her past in Destiny’s Child.
On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen challenged Rowland to a game of “Plead the Fifth.” Rowland could only abstain from answering one of his questions: What’s one thing that is annoying about Beyonce? What other girl group tried to start beef with Destiny’s Child? (It wasn’t TLC.) What’s the reason why original members Latavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett left?

Perhaps that’s an unfair comparison but Talk A Good Game will, most likely, sell considerably less than recent albums by fellow R&B divas Fantasia and Keyshia Cole, who managed 91,000 and 96,000 respectively. A first week sales tally of 65,000 copies would be the lowest of Kelly’s career – even less than 2011′s Here I Am, which sold 77,000 copies. There is some good news. The underselling opus is set for a top 10 debut, Kelly’s third in a row. More »
But the appearance didn’t end there! Rowland also gave a little taste of her upcoming “Dirty Laundry” video, which looks fittingly emotional given the song’s subject matter. Catch the performance up top and check out the “Dirty Laundry” teaser after the jump.
