Did Kelly Rowland Admit to Being Jealous of Beyonce on “Dirty Laundry”
Dirty Laundry is not that bad of a song. It sort of feel like an R. Kelly song during his Sparkle/Changign Faces of era. However, it will be the lyrics that will give the "Dirty Laundry" its push on radio:
“When my sister on stage, killing it like a motherf***er, I was in a rage, feeling it like a motherf***er/Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it/Bittersweet she was up, I was down. No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?/Post-Survivor, she on fire. Who wanna hear my bulls**t.”
Hmmm, I wonder what Dr. Phil would say in this situation?
Although Kelly Rowland's first album a didn't connect with fans, the album's first single, the TLC-liek "Stole" really wasn't that bad. The problem was today's urban radio station doesn't embrace embrace alternative/urban vibe from black artsists, (except for maybe Kanye West who gives no urban radio no choice but to play his tracks).
Rowland actually rebounded in a big way in Europe, when she hooked up with David Guetta on the song "When Love Takes Over" in 2009 on before Guetta blew up in the U.S.
At that point, it seemed like Kelly Rowland found her niche as a emerging dance queen, sort of Deborah Cox back in the mid 90's.
However, Rowland dropped the euro-pop sound that would later top the charts the U.S. a few years later went back to R&B and adopted a Hip Hop sex kitten vibe with the song "Motivation" in 2011.
The new sex-i-fied Kelly Rowland was a hit with urban radio, but it's kind of a shame that she has to continue to co-op her style to sell some downloads.
The tragic thing is that Kelly Rowland might now be locked in a unshakable persona that seemed so far removed from her "Dilemma" days of the past.
What do you think about Kelly Rowland's new song "Dirty Laundry"?
