Rowland Biography, Photos, News, Videos, Interview, Movie,lyrics,discography,video
For a Grammy-award winner who has been part of one of the most successful groups of all time, a solo star in her own right, with roles in motion pictures and television, Kelly Rowland isn’t kidding when she says, “This is a fresh start for me। I’m in a fantastic place right now।”
With brand-new management, a new record label and a world-wide hit, “When Love Takes Over,” with acclaimed French dance producer David Guetta, call this new phase, “When Kelly Takes Over,” as the multi-talented singer/songwriter/TV host and actress exerts full control on a career that has already produced millions of album sales, smash records and accolades.
After spending a summer in Europe, Rowland found herself turned on to different sounds and musical genres, especially dance and electro, which has encouraged her latest stylistic direction.
Kelly launched her post-Destiny’s Child solo career by teaming up with rapper Nelly in 2002, recording the vocals for the track “Dilemma” for his album Nellyville. The song ended up with a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year and earned Rowland an award in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category.
After two successful solo albums—2002’s RIAA-gold certified Simply Deep, which reached #12 on the Billboard chart, and 2007’s Ms. Kelly, featuring top producers like Billy Mann, Scott Storch, Sean Garrett, Tank, Rockwilder and Polow da Don, and guest stars Snoop Dogg and Eve, going on to sell 1.2 million worldwide—Rowland found herself ready for a change of pace. One of the singles from Ms. Kelly, “Work,” offered a hint of her new direction, when a dance remix hit the Top 10 in France, Italy and the U.K."
“When the Freemasons did their thing, it became this massive international hit,” explains Kelly. “To be quite honest, I was a little nervous about doing it, but when I met David, I realized how much I was enjoying dance music.”
While “When Loves Takes Over,” which has already topped the charts throughout Europe, appears on Guetta’s new album, One Love, Kelly and the DJ/producer/songwriter will reprise their collaboration on her own third solo effort, which she has begun to record in L.A., New York and Miami, where she makes her home.
“Yes, he will definitely be a part of it,” nods Kelly. “We have started thinking about what we want to do and I know in my gut, it’s going to be fantastic. Our chemistry in the studio and on-stage is so good. It just works.”
Aside from Guetta, Rowland has already begun working with a variety of European producers, including up-and-comers like Calvo and Fredro Odesjo, as well as U.S. hitmakers like producer/songwriter Brian Kennedy (“Disturbia”)."
As for her illustrious past, Kelly just wants room to grow as an individual, to explore her own artistic path.
“It’s about respecting me in my space as an individual, as I respect the other members of Destiny’s Child in theirs,” she insists. “That is certainly a large part of my career, how big it was. We continue to love and support each other, but we’re all adults moving forward.”
“I’m definitely going up for more roles because it’s something I truly enjoy,” she says. “I really want to continue to study the craft to where I can be respected as an actor. I want to completely understand the role and get engrossed in it to the point where I am that character. For me, it’s about passion, not taking a role just to say I did it.”
With a clean slate and a promising start on this latest phase of her impressive career, Kelly is ready to embark on this latest phase of her career.
Now that she’s set in the present, Kelly has no problem casting an eye toward the future.
“I want to put together a great #1 album and tour, just play live, be with the crowd and create more of those magic moments,” she concludes, before adding she’s working on creating her own TV show, one which she wouldn’t mind being behind the camera for a change.
Now that “Love” has taken over, Kelly Rowland won’t be far behind.
unter dem bürgerlichen Namen Kelendria Trene Rowland wurde die Sängerin Kelly Rowland am 11.02.1981 in Atlanta (Georgia, USA) geboren. Ihr älterer Bruder heißt Orlando. Aufgewachsen ist sie zusammen mit Beyoncé.
Unter anderem zusammen mit ihrer Freundin gründete sie die Girlband Girls Tyme, welche sich später in Destiny's Child umbenannte. Kelly Rowland war bis zum Ende der Gruppe im Jahre 2005 Mitglied.
Die Debütsingle als Einzelkünstlerin veröffentlichte sie zusammen mit dem Hip-Hopper Nelly. Kelly Rowland erreichte mit "Dilemma" unter anderem in Deutschland, der Schweiz, den Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien die Spitze der jeweiligen Single-Charts. Im Rahmen dieses Erfolges wurde das erste Album der Sängerin unter dem Titel "Simply Deep" vorgezogen.
Als Schauspielerin wirkte Kelly Rowland unter anderem in dem Horrorfilm "Freddy vs. Jason" aus dem Jahre 2003 und in einigen Fernsehserien mit.
Das zweite Album unter dem Titel "Ms. Kelly" erschien am 22.06.07 und wurde am 10.03.08 re-released. Kelly Rowland steuerte auch den Soundtrack zum Film "Asterix aux Jeux Olympiques" bei.
Schon als kleines Mädchen will Kalendria "Kelly" Rowland Sängerin werden. Vier Jahre nachdem sie am 11. Februar 1981 in Atlanta/Georgia ihren ersten Atemzug nahm, eifert sie ihrem Idol Whitney Houston nach. Jeden Tag aufs Neue lauscht sie den Klängen von Whitney und bringt damit ihre Mutter fast zur Weißglut. In der Kirche übt sich Klein Kelly vor einem größeren Publikum und findet Gefallen daran. Dass sie auf einen Stuhl stehen muss, um ans Mikrophon zu kommen, stört sie nicht weiter. Als ihre Familie nach Houston/Texas umzieht, freundet Kelly sich mit Beyoncé Knowles an, die ebenso ein Faible für Musik hat wie sie selbst. Gemeinsam gründen die Teenager Mitte der Neunziger die Gruppe Destiny's Child. "" """"""""
Als nicht wegzudenkendes Mitglied dieser Dreierkombo kennt sie mittlerweile die ganze Welt: Die hoch gewachsene Sängerin mit roten Blocksträhnen im pfiffig gefransten Kurzhaarschnitt namens Kelly Rowland. Im Schatten von Destiny's-Child-Frontsirene Beyoncé Knowles fristet Kelly, wie auch das dritte Rad am Wagen Michelle Williams, eher ein Mauerblümchendasein. Obwohl der Begriff Mauerblümchen etwas irreführend ist, angesichts der Tatsache, dass die Band gleich mit ihrem ersten Album "Destiny's Child" (1997) großes Aufsehen erregte.
Ihr zweites Album "The Writing's On The Wall", das 1999 erscheint, findet über zehn Millionen Abnehmer weltweit. Das vorläufig letzte Album des Trios "Survivor" toppt alle ihre bisherigen Erfolge. Mehrere Nummer-Eins-Hits und zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, wie unter anderem ein Grammy, sind die Früchte des Erfolges – geerntet von einer der größten Girlbands unserer Zeit.""
Gemeinsam haben Destiny's Child alles erreicht, was es im Musikbusiness zu erreichen gibt, da wollen irgendwann neue Herausforderungen bewältigt werden. Sprich: Soloprojekte. Michelle Williams geht mit gut gemeintem Beispiel voran und produzierte eine Gospel-Soul-Platte die nur mäßig ankommt. Kelly Rowland hingegen landet gleich bei ihren ersten Gehversuchen außerhalb des Child-Laufstalls einen Welthit: Zusammen mit Pflaster-Backe Nelly stürmt sie im Sommer 2002 mit dem Duett "Dilemma", einer Neuauflage von Patti LaBelles "Love, Need And Want You", sämtliche Single-Charts, um sich dort für lange Zeit auf den vorderen Plätzen einzunisten. Aufgrund des allzu kuscheligen Videos wird Kelly und Nelly eine Romanze nachgesagt, die sich jedoch als falsches Gerücht entpuppt. Das Liebespaar haben sie vor der Kamera einfach nur gut gemimt.
Eine neu entdeckte Leidenschaft von Kelly ist die Schauspielerei, die sie neben ihrer Karriere als Sängerin auslebt. Sie hat einen Gastauftritt in der US-Sitcom "The Hughleys" und buhlt in dem Horror-Streifen "Freddy vs. Jason" auf der Leinwand um die Gunst ihrer Fans. Doch Rowlands Hinwendung zum Schauspielfach ist lediglich als Ausflug in ein neues Metier zu betrachten, denn nach wie vor schlägt ihr Herz in erster Linie für die Musik.
Mit ihrem Debüt-Soloalbum "Simply Deep", das sie 2002 veröffentlicht, tritt sie aus dem Schatten des Girlband-Daseins heraus. Als alter Rock Fan wollte Miss Rowland auf ihrem Album eine Mischung aus Soulsängerin Sade und Rockmusik haben. Rich Harrison, Robert Smith, Damon Elliott und Rob Fusari haben sich ihren Wünschen gebeugt und den Sound für "Simply Deep" produziert. Aber ganz ohne den Destiny's-Child-Clan scheint es bei Kelly doch nicht zu gehen, denn Beyoncé Knowles kleine Schwester Solange hat einige Songs für das Album geschrieben.""
2005 ist eine der erfolgreichsten Girl-Groups aller Zeiten Geschichte. Mit einer Welttournee verabschieden sich Destiny's Child von der Pop-Welt und die Mitglieder gehen fortan ihre Solo-Wege. Dass sich in Folge in erster Linie Lead-Sängerin Beyoncé zum strahlenden Pop-Sternchen entwickelt, verwundert die Wenigsten. Doch auch Kelly schafft den Sprung aus dem Schicksalskind-Schatten und veröffentlicht mit "Ms. Kelly" und einer Produzenten-Garde aus Scott Storch, Polow Da Don und Sean Garrett und Gästen wie Eve und Snoop Dogg ein klassisches R'n'B-Album.
Interessanterweise entwickelt sich der Dance-Remix ihrer Single "Work It" zum heimlichen Star-Track der Platte und führt die junge Dame in ein relativ unbekanntes Genre. Während mehrmonatiger Aufenthalte in Europa entdeckt Kelly zudem ihre Begeisterung für eben diese Dance Music und schießt sich auf auf diesen neuen Sound ein. In David Guetta findet sie einen erfolgreichen Partner für die neue musikalische Reise und feiert mit "When Love Takes Over" einen internationalen Hit für die Tanzflächen zwischen Ibiza und Berlin. Nicht nur die feierwütigen Europäer können dem Feten-Hit etwas abgewinnen. Zusätzlich zeichnet das Grammy-Komitee den Song mit einer ihrer Auszeichnungen aus.

Born: February 11, 1981
Kelly Rowland rose to fame with the success of Destiny's Child during the late '90s. During that time, Destiny's Child catapulted into the new millennium as one of the best-selling female musical groups in history. Rowland, who was barely in her twenties, had been imagining such stardom for a long time. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Rowland began singing as soon as she heard the vocal beauty of Whitney Houston She was only four at the time, but Houston's 1985 self-titled debut was enough to motivate the little girl. Performances with the church choir followed, but Rowland's developing interest in music blossomed when she and her family moved to Houston, TX. She befriended another inspiring singer, Beyoncé Knowles, and the two became fast friends. In the mid-'90s, the two girls formed Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child made an impressive debut in 1997 with first single "No No No"; their self-titled full-length followed the next winter and went platinum before the year's end. Two more albums followed -- The Writing's on the Wall (1999) and Survivor (2001) -- earning Destiny's Child countless fans across the globe as well as millions of records sold. Upon the success of Survivor, Rowland followed her bandmates in taking some time off. During that time, Rowland began writing material for her first solo album. In 2002, Rowland's stylish R&B solo debut, Simply Deep, was released on Columbia. "Dilemma," the album's first single, featured a duet with Southern rapper Nelly. It had a two-month stay at number one during fall 2002. Her second solo album, the oft-delayed and more R&B-oriented Ms. Kelly, didn't materialize until July 2007. MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi""

Kelly Rowland
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 cliché to say, but Ms. Kelly really is the album I was meant to make."
You can hear it on her jump-off single, "Like This," featuring Eve. Hip-shaking, bass- blessed and hot-wired with a sassy vibe, "Like This" sends a clear message to the fellas: don't mess with Ms. Kelly.
Cowritten by Kelly and Sean Garrett ("Ring The Alarm," "Yeah"), produced by Polow Da Don ("London Bridge") and featuring Eve, "Like This" kicks off Ms. Kelly with attitude, which was exactly what Kelly had in mind. "Destiny's Child had always had such great experiences with Sean," Kelly says. "So I thought, let me try him on my album. Polow already had this hot track. I loved the sound of the cowbell; it was so different! Sean and I started writing and he said, 'Kelly this is your first single' and it turned out he was right." Kelly took a break from recording the song and when she and Sean returned to the studio she had a flash of inspiration. "I just heard Eve on this song," she recalls. "I knew her energy belonged on the song and, just like that, it all came together. Then I knew: this was the single."
Ms. Kelly premieres the fab collaboration "Ghetto," produced by Tank and featuring Snoop Dogg. "'Ghetto' is about good girls who dig bad boys and it's one of my favorites," Kelly admits. "As soon as Tank played it, I knew and recorded it in an hour. 'Ghetto' is just so laid back and that's why I had to have Snoop. He just gives it that something. I like it when a song can make you feel good."
Although working with Snoop and Eve were dreams come true, Kelly wanted to keep the collaborations on her new album to a minimum. "I always get something when I collaborate," she says, "but this time I wanted to show more of myself."
That emotional honesty is evident on "This Is Love," the album's closing track. A mid-tempo coda to an otherwise upbeat collection, "This Is Love" is a song that Kelly's wanted to record ever since producer/co-writer Billy Mann played it for her four years ago. Profoundly open in its perspective, showcasing one of Kelly's strongest vocal performances, "This Is Love" was originally written for a movie soundtrack. When the project fell through Kelly held on to the song. "The timing worked out perfectly because now it's on my album," she says happily. "I love the song. It feels timeless and it speaks about how to be open with love. Even when things go bad and you're hurt, you still have to be open and whenever it comes you'll know that this is love."
A founding member and vocal superstar in Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland proved a major contributing force to the group's record-breaking global popularity as Destiny's Child racked up sales of more than 100 million records worldwide while earning two Grammy Awards in the Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals category (2000: "Say My Name"; 2001: "Survivor").
Kelly's natural charm and charisma have opened up the doors to roles in movies and on television. Her big screen acting credits include starring roles in the 2003 horror blockbuster, "Freddy vs. Jason," and 2004's comedy-romance, "The Seat Filler," executive produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Among her television roles, she has appeared as "Carly" in three episodes of "The Hughleys" and as "Martha Reeves" (of Martha & the Vandellas) on "American Dreams." She has performed on "Saturday Night Live" and as a guest host on "The View."
Most recently, Kelly Rowland may be seen as celebrity spokesperson for the "Dark & Lovely" hair product line from Soft Sheen-Carson (consumer products division of L'Oreal USA, Inc.).
"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."....
