Ms. Kelly is the second solo studio album by American R&B singer Kelly Rowland. It was released by Columbia Records in collaboration with Music World Entertainment and Sony Music during the third quarter of 2007, beginning with most European territories on June 22. This will be the Kelly Rowland last album to be recorded with Music World Entertainment.

Rowland's first regular solo release in four years, the album was renamed and delayed numerous times prior to its official release. Originally branded My Story and expected for a mid-2006 release, the project was eventually moved to 2007 in favor of a "multi-tiered marketing strategy" and additional recording sessions.[1] Willed to produce a more personal effort after fast-recorded 2002 album Simply Deep, Rowland contributed nine tracks to the re-worked version, Ms. Kelly, which took her solo work further into urban music markets, involving production by Scott Storch, Polow da Don, Soulshock & Karlin and singer Tank among others.[1]

The album achieved reasonable commercial success, debuting within the top ten of the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 86,746 copies in its first week sales serve as Rowlands' highest sales start with a studio album to date.[2][3] As a consequence, Columbia released two Deluxe reissues of the album the following year, containing previously unreleased songs and remixes.[4]

Exclusively at Walmart, the original Ms. Kelly was packaged with a bonus DVD titled, BET Presents Kelly Rowland. The DVD features BET highlights, performance highlights, and music videos from Rowland's solo career.[5]

Production

Rowland had been working on the conception of her second solo album on and off since 2004, with some of her early recordings — such as the Bryan Michael Cox-produced "Bad Habit" — even being used on the Destiny's Child's albums Destiny Fulfilled (2004) and Destiny's Child: Live in Atlanta (2006).[6] The album's first draft, entitled My Story, saw her actually writing and recording with a wider range of well-known contemporary R&B producers and artists as she wanted to go "in the urban, more R&B route [in general]" with the album, involving Big Tank, Patrick "J. Que" Smith, Rich Harrison, Rodney Jerkins, and Robin Thicke.[6] Female rappers Remy Ma and Shawnna also lent their voices to guest parts.[6] Anxious to avoid hasty productions as on previous album Simply Deep (2002), Rowland took a wider role in the production of the album: she co-wrote the majority of the songs and shared ideas in which one to produce. "I wrote a lot on this record [...] and it's especially from me [to my fans]," she said of the album. "It's more R&B [...] and it definitely has a feel-good vibe to it as well."[6]

A few months before the scheduled release of My Story however, Rowland felt the album was not going into the direction she had previously envisioned, and thus, she asked to revamp the album.[7] "It was basically a list of songs that I put together about the past three years of my life, with love and relationships," she said of the original track listing. "And I remember listening to the record, and I was just like, 'I don't want this to be too deep to where, you know, [I] lose people.' And the record was too full of midtempos and ballads, so I wanted to bring it up a little bit."[8] Rowland eventually consulted new producers to collaborate on the album, including Mysto & Pizzi, Sean Garrett, Scott Storch, and Atlanta-based Polow da Don, who contributed the single "Like This," a duet with rapper Eve, to the album.[9]

In addition, the singer decided to rename the album. "I really put my heart and soul into this record," she said, "and not only am I excited that everyone's going to hear the music, I'm looking forward to people getting to hear the real me. That's the reason I called the album Ms. Kelly. Because the title is all about respect, being an adult and that's how I feel about my life, and my music."[8] Rowland cited former bandmate Beyoncé Knowles, and singers Brandy and Whitney Houston as major inspirations while recording her album.[8]

Composition

Opening song and lead single "Like This", which features rap from Eve, was one of the last songs recorded for Ms. Kelly.[8] Noted for the use of a cow bell in its melody, the single was first released in March 2007 to mixed reviews and became Rowland's highest-charting solo success since 2002's "Stole".[10] Second track "Comeback" is one out of two tracks Scott Storch contributed to the album. Planned to be released as the album's second single at times, Rowland shot a music video for the track with director Philip Andelman in July 2007.[11] When a single release failed to materialize, the clip premiered on Rowland's official YouTube account in early 2008.[12] "Ghetto" is set as the third track and features rapper Snoop Dogg. Originally recorded for the shelved My Story, the crunk music-influenced track was released as the album's second single in North America in August 2007, where it achieved minor success, reaching number nine on the U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles only.[13]

The album's fourth track, "Work", was written after returning from a night out in Miami and rushed in "like twenty minutes."[14] An up-tempo composition featuring funk production and go-go elements,[15] it was released as the album's second international single during the first quarter of 2008 and enjoyed major commercial success, emerging as the highest-charting single off the album.[2] Synthesized "Flashback" is the fifth track of the album and had previously appeared on Destiny's Child's 2005 DVD album Live in Atlanta (2006). Released to generally lukewarm reviews, the San Francisco Chronicle called it "positively lackluster."[16] "Every Thought is You", a ballad produced by Rockwilder, garanered positive critics, with About.com noting it "a classy, well-sung mid-tempo track about healthy infatuation."[17]

Release and promotion

Originally expected for a March 2006 release, the album had two title changes and three unofficial releases until its dropping the following year.[7] Although manager Matthew Knowles initially insisted the decision to push the release date from July 2006 was because more time would be needed to properly set up the project, Rowland later admitted that she had been unsatisfied with the album's first draft, and thus, asked to rework with a stable of new producers on the project.[7] Her decision led to the cancellation of the album's original leading single "Gotsta Go", a collaboration with rapper Da Brat that she premiered on the MTV Asia Awards Bangkok on in May 2006.[7]

Recorded late into the production of the album, Rowland and her management chose "Like This" as the new lead single off Ms. Kelly. Moderately successful on the charts, the song reached the top ten in Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and dominated the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[18][19] While "Ghetto" followed with minor to no commercial success stateside, second international single "Work" received greater success than "Like This." Pushed by a newly-produced Freemasons remix, the single surpassed the leading single's chart performance, reaching the top ten on the majority of all European and Oceanic music charts.[20] The album released previously unreleased "Daylight" as fourth and final single; it became a top twenty success in the UK and helped introducing the Diva reissues.[21] Although never released as a single, Rowland shot a music video for "Comeback" back-to-back with the video for "Work".[11] The track was originally planned to be released as the album's second single alongside ballad "Still in Love with My Ex".[22]

Following the original album's lukewarm sales and reception, Rowland re-entered recording studios to collect new songs for a reissue of Ms. Kelly, including production by Stargate, Jeff Dawson, CKB and Mark Feist.[4][23][24] She was also expected to record with producer Danja, but deadline pressure prevented from happening; a new track by J. R. Rotem did not make the final cut.[25][26] "The sales weren’t as good as I wanted them to be and to be honest, I did feel sad about that for a little while," Rowland stated in 2008, still blaming the final tracklist for too many midtempos and ballads. "I didn't realize it while I was recording it. After it was released [back in June] many fans said the songs would rock if they were more upbeat."[4] Branded with the name Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe, the U.S. re-release received a digital release only on March 25, 2008, containing seven tracks — five new songs and two remixes of tunes found on the original album.[27] The international version of the Ms. Kelly re-release was released physically and digitally in May 2008, re-titled as Ms. Kelly Deluxe. It removed eight tracks from the original release and replaced them with six of the seven Diva Deluxe tracks, as Rowland "wanted to have another view on the record and close the Ms. Kelly chapter" with the re-release."[12][28] Previously unreleased record "Daylight", a Bobby Womack cover and collaboration with Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, served as the reissue's new lead single.[12] As Kelly told noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning Blues & Soul: "Because I love the fact that Gym Class Heroes' music and sound is something different and eclectic, I figured me and Travis together would be an unusual typea duet. And I'm really happy I trusted my instincts."[29]

Ms. Kelly World Tour

Main article: Ms. Kelly Tour

The tour was to be Rowland's first worldwide tour. Rowland had previously headlined an exclusive European tour, Simply Deeper Tour, for her debut solo album, Simply Deep. The tour was to hit 16 city tour between October 2007 and November 2007, with a two-night stint in Las Vegas.[30] R&B crooner Mario was scheduled as the tour's opening act for all dates.[31] The tour experience's bad and good tickets sales in the United States and the tickets hitting good in African countries while in Europe the tour extend because of the opening ticket success at the G-A-Y Center Arena sold-out with 6,008 in attendance. It is estimated the tour grossed over $6 million based on four concerts reported to Billboard.

Ms. Kelly received "generally favorable reviews" from critics, averaging a 71 out of a 100 among averaged reviews on Metacritic.[32] Alex Macpherson of The Guardian complimented the album as "poised, dignified and completely lacking in the hysteria normally associated with R&B divas giving vent to their feelings. But the emotions simmering beneath her glassy, controlled tones are as raw as any Mary J. Blige classic," giving it four and a half stars out of five.[43] Ben Williams of the New York Post referred the album as a "mostly upbeat record that soulfully delves into contemporary funk,"[44] while Andy Kellman wrote for Allmusic: "All-around, the album does provide a stronger set of songs than 2002's Simply Deep. The material tends to be kind of insidious, rather than hitting you immediately or going through one ear and out the other."[45] Giving the album three stars out of five, he also noted that "the lyrics [...] are direct and specific, going beyond basic breakup material."[45] In his review for About.com, Mark Edward Nero characterized the album as "basically one by someone with the persona of a backup player who's been thrust in a lead role. And although she may feel comfortable in the role, Kelly can't carry the full weight — just like Scottie Pippen never could with the [Chicago] Bulls."[17] Dotmusic`s Jaime Gill called Ms. Kelly "old-fashioned", adding that "Rowland's big problem is that she has the lungs but not the voice [...] She can holler like Beyoncé, growl like Kelis or swoon like Aaliyah, but has little to no natural style of her own."[46] Ken Capobianco's review for The Boston Globe was more emphatic dubbing it "a solid if somewhat safe set of grooves, but the album never takes full flight to become something special."[47]

Commercial performance

Ms. Kelly was listed for 33 weeks in 9 different charts. It made its first appearance in the Irish Top 75 albums chart, Dutch Top 100 albums chart and Swiss Top 100 albums chart. Its highest peak position worldwide was number 6 on the US Billboard 200, selling 86,000 units in its first week and becoming Rowland's highest entry on the chart. The album spent 11 weeks inside the Billboard 200 chart and sold 222,000 copies in the United States, as of July 2011.[48]

Outside the United States, the album failed to enter the top forty of the majority of the charts it appeared on, except in the United Kingdom, where it debuted at thirty-seven on the UK Albums Chart,[49] and also sold 24,000 copies in its opening week.[2] In Brazil, the album opened at thirty-seven; it also peaked at number 10 on the Japanese International Albums Chart. The album struggled to appear in the top 50 on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia, peaking at number forty-four after several weeks on the chart, and selling 12,000 copies in its first week. However, the album reached the top ten on the Australian Urban Chart, peaking at number 8.

Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe charted for 3 weeks on the Top 75 UK Albums Chart, entering the chart at number 23, moving just under 1,000 downloads in its first two weeks of release. It charted significantly higher internationally, peaking two weeks later on the European Hot 100 albums chart at number 80. Collectively, including the sales of its multiple editions, Ms. Kelly has sold more than one million copies worldwide, making the album, in retrospect, unexpectedly successful.
