A producer, Kenneth "Soundz" Coby elárult néhány érdekes információt Kelly már régóta húzódó albumáról! A teljes interjút, angol nyelven, tovább kattintva olvashatjátok el!

Kiderült, hogy Kelly új albuma nemsokára elkészül. A 2011-es albumhoz új dalokon munkálkodnak, mivel a 'Commander' nem állta meg a helyét. A producerrel több új dalon is dolgoztak együtt, elmondása szerint csakis a legjobb dalokat adta Kellynek. Az viszont, hogy melyek kerülnek fel az új albumra, még a kiadón múlik. Azonban már meg van a legújabb kislemez dal, amit szintén a producer "Soundz" készített, amely az r&b és a pop egyvelege lesz. Egy dalcímet is megosztott velünk: "Make Believe" - de ez nem az új kislemezdal címe. Soundz elmondása szerint Kelly albuma lesz az egyik legnagyobb 2011-ben. A producer szerint, habár Beyoncé a legnyagyobb, Kelly mellette a második legjobb.

Tehát teljesen új anyagra lehet számítani, és Kelly mégis csak az R&B felé kacsingat vissza.

Köszönöm a tegnapi sok-sok látogatót!

 You’ve been speaking a lot on Twitter about your recent recording sessions with Kelly Rowland. What type of sound are you creating for her (R&B/Urban or Dance/Pop)?

Wooo I got her first single! We’re definitely Urban/crossover to the Pop. At the end of the day, I think Urban is Pop. By that I mean when people try to emulate Pop then it just doesn’t work but when you stick Urban and do something that’s original then people flock to that so that’s what I want to do with her.

I want to put her in her own lane because people try to put her in shadows but Kelly Rowland is a force of her own so I wanted to give her the kind of record that defines her. She had a lot of success with Destiny’s Child and she shouldn’t have a problem coming out with a big album.

How many songs did you do for her album other than the first single?

We’re still in the process of closing the album so I don’t know which tracks that are going to make the record. I know for sure that I did 3 with her this week and she’s in love with the records but things still have to go through the process – she has to like it, A&R's have to like it, Sylvia Rhone [President of Universal Mowtown] has to like it, then after that it has to get mixed then they cut the cheques and all that. ‘Make Believe’ is the first look for Kelly Rowland in 2011.

Are you willing or able to share any song titles with us?

Just look out for ‘Make Believe’. I just left a meeting yesterday and that record is on the top; it’s getting mixed this week because it’s that important; the record is that big.

I think it’s going to be one of the biggest records of the year [2011]. I can’t even tell you the featured artist on it but it’s going to be one of the biggest records of the year.

Kelly released ‘Commander’, which was done by Rico Love, as the projects first single so does this mean that the entire project has been revamped with a new first single?

Definitely. Shoutout to Rico Love because we were both signed to Usher back in the day so that’s my dude. The ‘Commander’ single didn’t really stick so I think that’s the reason why we went back to the drawing board to figure out the kind of records that would stick to the audience.

She has a great voice, she has a star quality and she’s beautiful but she just doesn’t have records that stick to your bones – that’s the only problem.

Now, one issue that Kelly has had over the years is that she has a hard time making an impact on the US charts and one main reason for that is because she faces constant comparisons to Beyonce. How are you planning to help her to finally find success on her own terms?

Actually, Beyonce is so great that it’s to a point that Kelly could be overlooked but Kelly is awesome. When I work with artists in the studio that can really sing, record and be professional, Kelly is one of the greatest. She’s been in the game for a long time – 15 years since Destiny’s Child has been doing it. She even has that poise; she’s prepped for superstardom!

When I was recording with her that she’s damn near flawless so if any chick in the game that should be #2 to Beyonce it’s Kelly – if you want to put it that way. They both came from the same place and Beyonce is the best right now, and the best after her should be Kelly Rowland. That’s the kind of records that I wanted to give her.

She shouldn’t get the Beyonce reject records or records that somebody else didn’t take. Some producers and songwriters give records to artists that and don’t give them A+ work. I wanted to give her my AA+ work because she deserves it.
