Success with Destiny’s Child
Destiny’s Child became one of the most successful female groups of all time, with hits like “Say My Name,” “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” Kelly Rowland’s distinctive alto voice provided harmonies and vocals that contributed to the group’s signature sound. Their album The Writing’s on the Wall (1999) catapulted them to international success, and Survivor (2001) solidified their place as global icons.
After several years of dominating the charts, the group decided to disband in 2006 after releasing Destiny Fulfilled (2004), although they have reunited for special performances such as the 2013 Super Bowl and Coachella in 2018.
Solo Music Career
During the height of Destiny’s Child’s fame, Kelly Rowland launched her solo career. Her debut solo album, Simply Deep (2002), took a different direction from the group’s R&B sound, incorporating alternative pop and rock influences. The album’s lead single, “Dilemma,” a duet with rapper Nelly, became a worldwide hit, earning Rowland a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
In 2007, she released her second album, Ms. Kelly, which featured hits like “Like This” and “Work.” Rowland continued to experiment with her musical style, blending R&B with dance and electronic music in her third album, Here I Am (2011), which included the smash hit “Motivation,” featuring Lil Wayne. The song became a defining moment in Rowland’s career, earning her critical praise and cementing her as a solo artist.
Between 2009 and 2011, Rowland was featured on a number of commercially successful singles by European artists Tiziano Ferro, David Guetta, Tinie Tempah and Alex Gaudino. Her collaboration with Guetta, “When Love Takes Over”, became a worldwide number-one hit.
Her 2013 album Talk a Good Game returned to her R&B roots, with collaborations with artists like Wiz Khalifa and Pharrell Williams. Throughout her solo career, Kelly Rowland has garnered several awards and maintained her influence as a prominent figure in both pop and R&B.
