Well hot damn.
Almost a year after plans were shelved to release her anticipated solo sophomore opus, Music World/Columbia Records has announced that Kelly Rowland has a new date underway.
Titled 'Miss Kelly,' the set is scheduled to arrive in stores June 26 and feature collaborations with platinum-plated hip-hop superstars Snoop Dogg and Eve.
'Like This' (featuring Eve) has already garnered a listening audience of five million across the country, a label rep confirmed. The track is officially slated to impact Urban/Rhythm radio March 27 and Top 40 April 17.
The Snoop collaboration is titled 'Ghetto,' and is on deck to be the second single to bow from the set.
"I have put my heart and soul into this record," Rowland, who recently served as a guest host of 'The View.' "I am excited that everyone will hear it. I am completely exposed. It's the real me."
'Ms. Kelly' is the long-awaited follow-up to the Destiny's Child gold-selling 2002 debut, 'Simply Deep,' which peaked at #3 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart, and included the smash hit, 'Dilemma,' (a duet with the rapper Nelly). Earning the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, the Patti LaBelle-sampled song spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.
