Kelly Rowland and The-Dream are bringing their sultry sounds to a city near you this summer. The R&B stars have announced dates for a co-headlining tour.
Kelly Rowland had some fun in the sun over the weekend. The “Kisses Down Low” singer, who was named one of PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful, hit Miami Beach with her cousin and some friends.
But the sexy singer kept her bikini bod under wraps. Instead, she covered up with a green kaftan and fedora as she strolled on the sand. The paparazzi photographed her catching some rays and kissing a mystery man.
Just last week, Kelly announced a June 18 release date for her album Talk a Good Game, which is set to feature Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell, The-Dream, Harmony, The Runners, and Mike WiLL Made It.
She is also set to embark on a co-headlining tour with The-Dream in late May.
Kelly Rowland has seduced music’s leading men including Jamie Foxx and Trey Songz. Now the gorgeous singer is being recognized for her beauty by PEOPLE. The magazine has named Kelly as one of its Most Beautiful.
The-Dream and Kelly Rowland are teaming up and taking the show on the road. In addition to collaborating on each other’s albums, the R&B singers are planning a tour for this summer.
With her fourth album Side Effects of You in stores tomorrow, Fantasia is moving forward with plans for her next single, “Without Me” featuring Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland. During her interview with Rap-Up TV, the “American Idol” winner explained how the collaboration came together.
“Missy Elliott was the first person I thought about because we’re friends as well as we do business together,” she said of the hip-hop legend, who she met while working on her debut album Free Yourself. “And I knew that she would just lyrically kill the verse.”
After hearing Missy rhyme on J. Cole’s single “Nobody’s Perfect,” she reached out. “She just gave you that old Missy, so I called her and I was like, ‘Hey, I want that. Give me that vibe.’”
She also praised Kelly, who sings on the track. “Right now she’s doing her thing. We both kinda have that same story where you started from the bottom now you’re here,” she said. “She’s doing so well. She’s a strong black woman with strong black features, so I thought I can’t do this record with anybody else but Kelly and Missy.”
Fantasia is already planning a video, and wants Missy to direct it. “I want her to do the video for me. You look back at all her videos and they’re all amazing. She’s a genius. So me, her, and Kelly, we’re gonna get together and do this thing on our own.”
Kelly Rowland was white-hot while attending the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The “Kisses Down Low” singer strut in a white pantsuit on the red carpet and posed with 86-year-old actress Cloris Leachman. She also performed at the event honoring former president Bill Clinton, who received the Advocate for Change award.
Kelly has been in the studio finishing up her album Talk a Good Game, due in June. The project will feature contributions from The-Dream, Pharrell, Wiz Khalifa, T-Minus, Boi-1da, Mike WiLL Made It, and a collaboration with her fellow Destiny’s Child divas Beyoncé and Michelle Williams.
“I just went back to my roots on this specific record,” Kelly told DJ Drama. “Every song just reminded me of a great moment in R&B that I felt.”
Some of today’s biggest stars turned out to honor some legends at the 28th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Kelly Rowland took the stage to induct Donna Summer, while Jennifer Hudson paid tribute to the late disco queen with a medley of her hits “Bad Girls” and “Last Dance.”
“I’m pretty sure that me and a lot of you were made to that record,” said the Destiny’s Child diva of Summer’s hit “Love to Love You Baby.”
Oprah Winfrey was on hand to welcome Quincy Jones into the history books, and Usher serenaded the iconic producer with a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You,” which Jones produced.
Honoree Public Enemy was introduced by director Spike Lee, with Flavor Flav and Chuck D on hand to accept. Harry Belafonte called the hip-hop group “the gatekeepers of the truth.”
The ceremony will be broadcast May 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
