Sam:
Great. We have to talk about the ‘Ms. Kelly’ re-release. Following the
release of your sophomore effort ‘Ms. Kelly’ back in July last year,
it’s since been announced that a revamped version of the album will be
released in March this year. What’s the reason for re-releasing the
project?

Kelly: I felt like the [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]album
needed a new life; so I wanted to put some new tracks on there and give
it another shot, you know what I mean. So that’s exactly what I did. I
recorded an amazing track with Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes
titled ‘Daylight’ and of course the ‘Work’ Freemasons [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]remix. It’s giving something new and different on the re-release, which is something I really wanted to do.

Sam:
Is there a particular reason why a re-release of ‘Ms. Kelly’ – which I
must say is my best album from last year (Kelly: Thank you) – was
chosen over doing a whole new album altogether?

Kelly: Say that one more time.


Sam: Was there a reason why you decided to re-release the album, as opposed to making a new album?

Kelly:
You know what; I wanted to give the album another chance to be heard. I
mean, I felt the first time not a lot of people knew about the album
and that’s not fair to the fans, it’s not fair to me. So I wanted to
make sure I released a single that would, basically, have the fans
really gravitate towards the album – those who have heard it, those who
haven’t heard it, those that possibly want something new as well on the
release. So that’s why I made the decision.

Sam: …which
is very-well understandable. Many are keen to find out what the ‘Ms.
Kelly’ re-release will be serving up. Who did you work with on the new
tracks?

Kelly: On the new tracks, of course the
Freemasons did the remix to ‘Work’ as well as Travis McCoy on
‘Daylight’. I’m actually trying to get one more in. I’m in the studio
right now and playing around here and there. I don’t know if some songs
will make it or not, but I’m still working with different producers;
Mark Feist, who did Destiny’s Child’s ‘Emotions’. A lot of different
people.

Sam: There was something floating around about
you working with Nate ‘Danja’ Hills, who did Britney’s Gimme More’. Is
this correct?

Kelly: I wanna work with Danja, but Danja
is really busy, he’s really busy with other artists. When he sees this,
he’s gonna kill me (laughs). But I really love Danja, I’d love to work
with him, he’s so talented.

Sam: Are there any track titles and/or personal favourites you could share with us from the new tracks you’ve recorded?

Kelly:
From the new tracks, gosh I must say that I love them all, to be quite
honest with you. There’s a song I recently did with Mark Feist that I
really love. I have to say, though, that I love ‘Daylight’ with Travis.
We had fun giving ‘Daylight’ (a Bobby Womack cover) a new, younger
life, which was really cool; to introduce young people to some more
soul and put a twist on it.

Sam: Will the original track list be preserved or will some tracks be replaced?

Kelly:
Some tracks will be replaced. We are actually in the process of doing
that now, piecing it together still. You want to make sure that you are
making the right decisions for yourself and your fans, so that
everybody’s happy.

Sam: A lot of fans sent questions in; they were really hyped to be able to present them to you.

Kelly: Yeah, these are great questions, a lot of journalism going on. I love it.

Sam:
Thank you. People want to know if there’s going to be a bonus DVD
packaged with the album, perhaps, as you’ve done quite a few videos.
There was the ‘Like This’ video, the ‘Ghetto’ video, I’ve seen
‘Daylight’ and ‘Work as well. Will there be a bonus DVD of sorts?

Sam: You filmed a video for the single ‘Comeback’, right?

Kelly: Uh huh.

Sam: People really wanna know where it’s at?

Kelly: It’s so fly! I LOVE ‘Comeback’. Yeah…

Sam: Will we be seeing the video anytime soon?

Kelly: You will see the ‘Comeback’ video, on the re-release.

Sam:
Of the existing tracks, the confessional ‘Still in Love with My Ex’ is
the song many are hoping to be a single. Are there such plans for this?

Kelly: Yo, ya’ll have to call Sony. Make sure that whatever you want, they make it happen.
First they have to, honestly, hear the fans feedback. The same way they
(the fans) made ‘Work’ a big record, the fans make it happen now. Like,
the artist can put out music, but look at what the fans are doing with
the [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]music
industry. It’s all in their hands, so it’s really up to them. I love
‘Still In Love With my Ex’. It’s a personal confession for me, so I
think that’s why it’s so close and personal to a lot of fans as well as
those that, possibly, don’t even know [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Kelly [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Rowland. It’s something that really triggers and is familiar to them. I’d love for it to be a single. Anything could happen.

Sam:
On ‘Ms. Kelly’ you flaunted a sassy, assertive, yet emotionally
vulnerable side. What’s different with ‘Ms. Kelly’ this go round?

Kelly:
For the re-release, I feel there is even more sassiness. When you think
of ‘Work’, I like the fact that it was given a new life, like I said
earlier. With ‘Daylight’, it brings more soul to the record, as well as
the song I did with Mark Feist. It’s about me evolving as an artist
and, just, trying out different things every time I put something out.

Sam: What’s your response to the calls from
fans, naysayers etc that you should change labels, management etc?
Because, I have to be honest with you, it’s something that is passed
about quite a bit.

Kelly: It is passed about quite a
bit. You know what’s so sad to me is that when people don’t know what’s
going on, then they are basically entitled to their own opinion;
opinions are like buttholes, everybody’s got one. The thing is, people
are going to continue to say something, and they are going to continue
to compare myself with Destiny’s Child, [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Beyonce,
with Michelle, with whatever. They’ll do that forever and, of course;
it’ll always be seen as what they want it to be seen as. But, you know
what? Misery loves company and I don’t let miserable people bother me
because I still [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]love [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]music, I love my family and I love everybody that I’m working with. If it needs change, then I’ll change it, when I see fit.

Sam: Nope, it’s not mean at all. It’s good that you’re being honest.

Sam: Though the ‘Ms. Kelly’ is your priority at present, have you started thinking about the direction of your next record?

Kelly:
Totally. I’m just boggled right now because the sky is the limit. There
are so many things I’d love to try. Like doing an album and trying out
different songs, but live. Not actually recording it in the studio, but
doing the song live and recording that and putting that out as an
album. That would be so much fun.

Sam: So live instrumentation etc?

Kelly:
Oh definitely; live instrumentation, live vocals, backgrounds,
everything. Doing it with the instruments, the artist and someone that
puts together music, doing it live right on the spot. I saw Timbaland
with [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Justin [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Timberlake
at a show and he was putting together beats, like live, and I was
crying (laughs) because it was just so amazing. I love creativity, like
to that point, where it just moved me to emotion. I was like, ‘I want
to do something like that’. I sat home and thought ‘what can I do that
will be close?’ and that would be it. To put together a whole [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]album [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]live, doing it in front of an audience and just make it real hot and gritty.

Sam: Any producers you’d like to work with on the next go round?

Kelly:
Pharrell. I’d love to work with will.i.am. I’d LOVE to work with
will.i.am. I love him. I love him and Sweetback (Sade’s band)

Sam:
You’re obviously enjoying a lot of success this year with ‘Work’, with
the upcoming re-release and whatnot, but there are also a few releases
from other female heavy-weights this year– including Janet and Mariah.
Whose projects are you looking forward to this year?

Kelly: I love Mariah. I really can’t wait to see what Mariah does. I was really looking forward to [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Alicia [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]Keys
as well and I’m definitely satisfied with the album that she brought.
Janet Jackson, I can’t wait to see what she’s gonna bring.

Sam: Have you heard the ‘Feedback’ song?

Kelly: I heard ‘Feedback’; only once, but it definitely made me dance – I was in the club.


Sam: Favourite Destiny’s Child song?

Kelly:
It’s from our last album, the ‘Destiny’ Fulfilled’ album, ‘Love’. I
love ‘Love’, it’s so beautiful. That one, and one that goes down in
history ‘Say My Name’ – that has to be one of the best tracks of
all-time, if I must say so myself (laughs).

Sam: I’m sure many would agree. Your favourite Beyonce song?

Kelly: Favourite Beyonce song? Oh, ‘Flaws and All’

Sam: Favourite Michelle song?

Kelly: ‘Heart To Yours’. It’s one of the most beautiful [color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important][color:59a1=#D5D5CF ! important]records; I love Michelle’s voice on it and I love the production and everything. It’s just so fly and cool.

Sam: Real quick, favourite LeToya song?

Kelly: Let’s see, I liked her ‘All Eyes On Me’ record

Merci

on lui a demande sa chanson préférée de latoya, elle l'a écouté vous pensez ?

Moi je pense que oui et puis que ce soit bee ou kelly c'est du passé!
même beyoncé l'a dit, elle disait que cette histoire avait apporté du
bien a tous y compris à celles qui sont parties et qui ont été number
one ...

La partie de l'interview qui m'a fait plaisir c'est ou elle parle des
instruments "live" pour son prochain album! C'est exactement ce que
j'attends d'elle!

Ouai moi aussi, eh je te rappel que Kelly et Letoya s'entendait encore très bien après la séparation lol

Sur Kevipod:
As you all know R&B singer Kelly Rowland is currently in the UK promoting the upcoming release for the new edition of her "Ms. Kelly" album, due in March 2008. Kelly has been giving interviews everywhere these days but i've found this new one that i'm posting now - from the "Ace & Vis Show" on BBC 1Xtra radio - pretty interesting. Besides talking about the re-release, the producers she's worked with and more she ALSO talks about what DC friends Beyonce and Michelle Williams are currently up to! You can CLICK HERE to listen to the interview in full.

Q: What they're (Beyonce and Michelle) up to now?

KELLY: Beyonce is actually recording, she started to record for her new album and Michelle is about to release her new single "Stop This Car".

Cool! Although we're still not 100% sure what style Beyonce's new album gonna be - First it was reported Timbaland was going to produce most of her new album, later it was reported she was going for a DANCE sound and finally that she was going country - we atleast know now *totally confirmed* she's already recording it. Now, as for Michelle, we already knew "Stop This Car" is her new single but we were not sure about when she was going to release it but now according to Kelly seems Michelle's going to release it pretty soon and we'll finally be able to hear the track in full.

Vous avez vus, elle aussi elle croit que Still In love with my X a un
gros potentiel! je vois bien la sortir cet été mais pas avant !

Bah ouai à mon avis entre temps il y aura daylight et l'inédit.

Interview Papier:
Kelly Rowland: 'Work'
Released on Monday, January 28 2008

By Nick Levine, Music Editor


In the five years that elapsed between Kelly Rowland's first and second albums, the bottom fell out of the non-Beyoncé-Destiny's-Child-solo-projects market. Whereas Simply Deep topped the chart upon its 2002 release, Miss Kelly, last year's belated follow-up, stuttered in at number 37. Rowland's plan to save the day? Draft in the Freemasons, the dance duo who've remixed the last few Beyoncé singles, to sprinkle a bit of amyl nitrate over her new tune 'Work'.

Her Beyoncé-aping tactics have paid off, for the Freemasons invest 'Work' with more dancefloor drama than Saturday night at G-A-Y. As Middle Eastern rhythms drive towards a chorus with a pleasing whiff of the eighties to it, Rowland gets feral, inviting her paramour to "do it baby, do it, do it, do it, put it in!" 'Work's title could quite easily be replaced with another, rather more offensive, four-letter word, but that's a big part of its brilliance.

Kelly Rowland
Tuesday, January 29 2008, 06:00 GMT

By Nick Levine, Music Editor


Kelly Rowland's debut solo album, 2002's Simply Deep, was a huge success, topping the UK album charts and yielding the smash hit singles 'Stole' and 'Dilemma'. Five years later, after Destiny's Child had regrouped for one last album and tour, Rowland returned with Ms. Kelly, but the album's sales have hitherto proved disappointing. Is the Destiny's Child survivor feeling despondent? Hell no! Ms. Kelly is being primed for reissue as we read; she's got a collaboration with Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes on the way; and there's the small matter of 'Work', the most danceable, seductive single she's ever released. Does she really mean that stuff about "putting it in" and "going hard"? We gave her a call to find out.

'Work' is quite a change for you, isn't it?
"I guess... in what way?"

It's a little more... suggestive.
"Haha! Maybe just a little."

Is it a conscious attempt to show a more sexually confident side of yourself?
"Yes, just a little bit. I feel like I've grown up a lot, and I guess 'Work' is just a taste of me coming into my sensual side."

You're going to get more sensual than singing about "putting it in" and "going hard"?
"Haha maybe! You'll just have to wait and see. The main lyric about "putting it in" is definitely the one that's making people say 'What?!'"

The Freemasons have remixed 'Work' for its single release. Do you prefer their remix to the original album version?
"I love both versions, because they're both completely different. It's so amazing that the Freemasons were able to hear something completely different in a track I'd already done - I really admire their ear and their creativity."

Five years elapsed between Simply Deep, your debut solo album, and Ms. Kelly, your follow-up. Was that frustrating for you?
"I believe that everything happens for a reason, because in that time Destiny's Child did an album and a tour, and I was doing some TV too, so I was really busy in that time. I'm happy with the five-year gap: it allowed me to play around in the studio and grow as an artist."

Ms. Kelly is being reissued in March because it hasn't sold as well as your label hoped. How are you feeling about this?
"It was difficult at first, but then I realised that it wasn't my fault. The reason I say it wasn't my fault is that we live in a very different music industry right now. It's tough to sell records without having someone download it. Also, first time around, the label didn't see what I saw in the record. It took them a while to get it, but now everyone's on board and excited at the album, so I'm happy that everyone's on the same page this time around."

How does the new version differ from the re-release?
"Obviously some songs that were on the original album will be on the re-release, but there are some new tracks too. The Freemasons' version of 'Work' will be on there, as will 'Daylight', a Bobby Womack cover I've done with Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes."

How did that come about?
"It was actually a song we did for a soundtrack, and I liked it so much I wanted to have it on my album and release it as a single as well. I love doing collaborations - it's always good to do something that's out the box. I mean, nobody would ever have thought I'd so something with Travis McCoy."

Has it been difficult to step out as a solo star after being part of a group for so long?
"It's not hard, but when I first started out with Simply Deep I was terrified! The more you perform by yourself, do interviews by yourself and travel by yourself, the more you get used to it. In the group everyone focused on the three of us, as we did too, so it's nice to have this time to grow individually now."

Is your Destiny's Child history as much a curse as a blessing?
"I think when people expect us to do things with the same sound as Destiny's Child, well, it's not respectful of our personal growth. Of course we're all going to be compared to each other and to Destiny's Child, but that's fine. For someone to introduce Beyoncé, Michelle or I as "one third of the biggest-selling female group of all time" is quite an introduction - I'm always humbled by that. It's a great title to have!"

Has the success of the Spice Girls reunion given you any ideas?
"You know, myself and Michelle were actually watching something on the Spice Girls the other day. We looked at each other and said: 'Are you ready for that again?', and then we both said: 'You know what, we'll see what happens and wait just a little bit longer.' I think we're all allowing each other personal growth right now."

Are you all still in touch with each other?
"Oh, definitely. Michelle called me last night, but I haven't had chance to return her call yet, and I spoke to Beyoncé a couple of days ago. We all spend our birthdays together - we're friends and sisters above anything. If I'm feeling stressed or frustrated, I can call one of them and just totally vent, you know."

'Work' is out now on CD and download.
