As Kelly Rowland preps for the loss of her third solo album, the former Destiny`s Child singer is tired of talk about one subject: Beyonce. Rowland, who has long looked at her one-time group member as a sister, is not fond of the press pitting the two against each other, and yet more enraged that someone consistently gets overlooked.
"What pisses me off the most is the fact that they leave Michelle [Williams] out," Kelly Rowland tells the BoomBox.
"Michelle is such a vast piece of Destiny`s Child. It`s very disrespectful in that sense, its three members of Destiny`s Child, not two."
Since going their separate ways, all three DC members have focussed on solo careers. While Beyonce is the most commercially successful, Rowland has garnered a few notable hits in her own right. Her latest, `Motivation` featuring Lil Wayne, has received solid buzz, and sits at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Rowland was originally rumored to be putting out a dance-themed album but as she got to go on her latest LP, `Here I Am,` the Texas native was more focussed on the subject of the project versus the genre.
"At one aim in time everybody was like, `You should be this, you should be that.` For a moment I was like `F it all! How do I find?` I just started recording and everything that I started recording fell in the same occupation and the same pocket. `Motivation` came around and I was like, `Oh my God! I require my fans to see this!` Then other songs started to do and I was working with Tricky [Stewart] and RodneyJerkins [Jerkins] and all these people, everything fell into place. I didn`t allow anybody to categorize me at the last action of this record. Nobody puts Kelly in the corner!
"I only wanted other people to live `here I am,` period. Nobody judging, nobody dictates where I go or what I do. It`s me as a mortal and as a woman. It feels right to be in that place and I just wanted to deal that on the record."
In the upcoming weeks the Grammy winner will miss her next single, which she is keeping under wraps. `Here I Am` will be released this fall.
