Following her very under appreciated 2013 album Talk A Good Game, Kelly Rowland fans can rest assured that the R&B diva is getting back to work on new music. Recently revealing that she was back in the studio on HuffPost Live, Ms. Kelly has shared some more details with Billboard.
“I’m at the very very beginning stages of the record. We’re at the point now where we are all talking – writers [and] producers – we’re all excited. There are fresh ideas coming into the studio right now. We’re trying different beats,” Kelly said. “It’s a really great start.”
The singer-songwriter is recruiting close friends and new talent for her fifth studio album. “Pharrell is on board. We already talked about it. I’d love for Timbaland to be on board. We’ve had discussions as well,” she continued to share. “I want to try to some new talent as well. There’s so much new talent… There’s somebody out there with something new to give and I’d love to tap into that as well.”
While previously speaking with HuffPost Live, Kelly confirmed that she has left her label Universal Republic. “I need something new and I’ve earned the right to make my own choices and make my own decisions,” she said. “I wish them well. They wish me well. No hard feelings, I just needed a fresh new start.”
