Rap-Up.com || Kelly Rowland Announces Album Title

One day after her fellow Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyoncé revealed her album title, Kelly Rowland is following suit. The “Motivation” singer is sharing the name of her upcoming third project.

Rowland tells Billboard that her third solo album and first for Universal Motown will be titled Here I Am.

“I wanted people to know that this is the record, the sound I’ve been working toward… that here I am,” she explained. “It just connected with my heart and the music as well. It stands for everything I’ve gone through and thought about for this record as a woman. It’s very strong.”

The R&B songstress plans to select the album’s fall release date by the end of this week. She has been in the studio with an all-star cast of collaborators including Dr. Luke, Stargate, Salaam Remi, Ne-Yo, Rico Love, Jim Jonsin, RedOne, Tricky Stewart, Ester Dean, Rodney Jerkins, and David Guetta.

What do you think of Kelly’s album title?

@MakeMeFartKThx, This is clearly a Beyonce stan or someone who is leaving under a rock. Motivation is HUGE! It’s climbing hot 100, 106th & park video countdown, radio (mediabase on both urban & rhythmic), iTunes. EVERYWHERE!

she is so underrated (at least under Beyonce she is lol) but this new album will possibly skyrocket her career… i love motivation!

Kelly and Beyonce should put out their albums on the same day, and use a competition promo like Kanye & 50. LOL

Here I Am is one of many overused album titles but it’s an exception because she has a good reason for it

its simple, i love it! but she better not release her album the same month Beyonce does. Just because Motivation might be doing better than Run the World on the US charts, doesn’t mean the album will. Beyonce’s albums are always #1 and sell over 400k in its first week.

I just would like to thank Beyonce fans for all the free promo (HATE) that you all keep throwing at Ms. Kelly, the more hate the more she rises each week on the charts ***MUAH*** ‘Here I Am’

I feel like this is a very fitting album title. But I don’t know if a fall release date is a good idea. “Motivation” is seriously BLOWING up right now, so I think a June/July release date would work best. I am so proud of her. I seriously think in the coming weeks that she might earn her first #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart as a solo artist. So excited!!!
