From her days touring the globe with one of the world’s best-selling girl groups to her 2013 Whitney Houston-influenced solo release “Talk a Good Game,” Destiny’s Child founding member Kelly Rowland is representing the R&B/pop genres well. The Houston native had a hand in writing the majority of songs on her fourth solo effort, which celebrates womanhood and features production by Pharrell Williams and The-Dream, among others. Even fellow Destiny’s Child members Michelle Williams and top ticket seller Beyonce make guest appearances, lending their well-matched vocals to the track “You Changed.”
Since the group’s amicable breakup in 2005, Rowland has remained focused on her own path. Along with unveiling four studio albums and headlining three major worldwide tours, the mezzo-soprano has also ventured into film and reality television. Rowland has tackled co-hosting duties on the American version of “The X Factor,” along with three international versions of the music competition.
