Kelly Rowland Billboard CD Review

by Jeanne on June 30th, 2007

Well, the reviews are starting to roll in on Kelly Rowland’s new CD, Ms. Kelly. Here’s the Billboard review:

Former Destiny’s Child songstress Kelly Rowland may never upstage her superstar groupmate Beyonce, but she certainly has the vocal chops and charm to stand on her own stiletto-clad feet. Consider the aptly titled “Ms. Kelly” her proper mission statement. Compared with her gospel-fueled 2002 solo debut, “Simply Deep,” Rowland appears confident and dominant on foot-stompers like “Come Back” and the Eve-assisted single “Like This.” These whiplash-inducing tunes fit like jigsaw pieces beside relationship-driven ballads (”Better Without You”) and midtempo cuts (”Ghetto” featuring Snoop Dogg) that showcase her come-hither pipes. In true Destiny’s Child fashion, Rowland teeters between coy and naughty, often in the same whispery breath. Though still short of career-defining, “Ms. Kelly” finds its author opening up more while welcoming the possibility that destiny may just find another star.

I think this is a decent review. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the new album?
