Kelly Rowland
In the nineties, Kelly Rowland was one of the key members of the super-successful (over 50 million records sold) girl's R&B group Destiny's Child. Her solo career began suddenly and rapidly. In 2002, when there was a pause in the group's activities, Kelly recorded the song "Dilemma" with rapper Nelly and ended up at the top of the charts as a solo artist. Inspired by the success of the single, Kelly pushed work on her debut solo album, Simply Deep, which was released in 2003. Remaining faithful to R&B, Kelly nevertheless moved away from obsessive genre clichés in favor of slightly more meaningful pop music (this trend was perfectly illustrated by the single "Stole"). The change in mood did not interfere with the success of the disc, the album sold two and a half million copies around the world. Around the same time, Kelly began her career as an actress and TV host.
The second solo album of Kelly was postponed for a long time - at first the singer postponed work in favor of recording the next album Destiny's Child, then, it was decided to rework the already finished disc. The disc, according to the singer herself, came out too loaded with mid-tempo ballads. After all, the Ms Kelly album was released in 2007 and, although it performed well in the market, was far from the success of Simply Deep. As a result, the singer decided not only to break off relations with her long-term manager Matthew Knowles, but also left the Columbia label. New success again came to Kelly through joint projects. The dance track "When Love Takes Over", released on the album of French disc jockey David Guetta (Kelly performed the vocals here, as usual) became a world hit and even received a Grammy. In the wake of her success, Kelly invited Guetta to co-produce her third album. The team also featured such characters as Danja, Rico Love and Eric Hudson.
