It seemed Rowland had a potentially great single on her hands when “Number One” released in December 2012. The song also failed to appear on the finished album. 24 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No.88 on the Hot 100. She recruited Lil’ Wayne once again but unlike “Motivation,” her wet single “Ice” melted on the charts, only peaking No. But I digress.Īny who, Rowland returned in July 2012 with “Ice” the original first single to her fourth album. In a nutshell, we wouldn’t be discussing the mishandling of Kelly Rowland’s Talk A Good Game album if Rowland had continued promoting Here I Am. The song peaked No.43 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and didn’t see the light of day on the Hot 100.Īfter reaching some success overseas with her international single “Down for Whatever” the project was swept under the kitchen table of “shoulda, coulda, woulda’s” when she returned to UK’s X-Factor, where she later resigned in 2012. First, Rowland rode the coat-tail of chart-topping single “Motivation” for literally six months.Then after she getting the back-end from promoting it, she finally moved to her next single “Lay It On” me with Big Sean, which underperformed on the Billboard charts. Now play close attention because I’m going to hit the high points on how things crumbled for the Here I Am era.
Nonetheless, it helped the Rowland notch a top 20 hit (No.17) on the Hot 100 and reach No.1 on the R&B chart.
However, in April 2011, Rowland showed the world her sexy side with a Rico Love penned track called “Motivation.” While the song was catchy, it was by no means stellar. The Simply Deep artist had trouble finding her niche with the album after receiving very little airplay with “Rose Colored Glasses” and “Grown Woman” in the US.
The project marked Rowland’s first release since her departure from long-time manager Mathew Knowles and her label Columbia Records. Now before we can talk about latest release and its absence from the hearts and minds of fans, we must touch a bit on her third studio album. Her fourth studio album Talk A Good Game (originally titled Y ear of the Woman) served as the follow-up to her moderately successful 2011 release Here I Am.
