“What A Feeling” was released as a promo single with DJ Alex Gaudino in Europe, and after its chart success was included on the International edition of the album. The Diplo Remix was also released as a promo single soon after. “Motivation” was then released as the official lead single in the USA, and third single internationally, and charted well worldwide. “Rose Colored Glasses” was later included on the International edition of the album.Īfter the chart failure of these singles, Rowland had planned to release either the songs “On & On ” or “Take Everything” as the next singles worldwide, but instead released “Forever & A Day” exclusively to Europe. Both were included on the International edition of the album.Īfter the cancellation of the planned lead USA single “Shake Them Haters Off”, “Grown Woman” was released to Urban Radio, as a double a-side with the track “Rose Colored Glasses” which was serviced to Pop USA Radio, and Internationally. It was a chart success in Europe, and also reached the Top 5 on all of Billboard’s USA dance charts. The song “When Loves Take Over” with David Guetta was a massive international hit all the way to the end of 2009, encouraging Rowland in 2010 to release the lead International single from the album “Commander”, also with David Guetta. The album was initially planned to be released in 2010, with sessions taking place from 2008, beginning with sessions with David Guetta, but after several failed singles was pushed back to the end of 2011. It does seem like Kelly is coasting a bit here at times, though, particularly when you hold TP-2.Com up against its massive predecessor, but even when R's lounging, he's generally ahead of the pack.“Here I Am” is the third studio album by singer-songwriter Kelly Rowland, released through Universal Motown on July 22, 2011. There's no Jay-Z-featuring remix of "Fiesta" and no up-tempo one of "Feelin' on Yo Booty," yet TP-2.Com is a strong album nonetheless, three steps ahead of practically every other non-rap urban album from 2000. Only one of those remixes is here though, the "I Wish" one, so take heed. Kelly furthermore unleashes his singles - "I Wish," a mass-appeal vocal pop number with an urban edge "Fiesta," a Latin Invasion cash-in that aims for the dancefloor and "Feelin' on Yo Booty," a whispery come-on for all the weak-kneed ladies and some of the mindful ones too - with tailor-made remixes to ensure himself broad airplay.
So to see him return to the simple singles approach of 12 Play is refreshing, particularly since he has plenty of singles to work with here, just as he had with TP-1. an album that straddled the huge gap between the sort of radio pop associated with Celine Dion as well as the street rap of Jay-Z and Nas - it also seemed too overblown at times, as if Kelly had something to prove during an era of double-disc epic rap albums. The straightforwardness is somewhat of a welcome endeavor. Kelly tames his ambitions a bit on TP-2.Com, assembling a simple sequel to his classic 12 Play album from 1993 rather than another epic venture like his double-disc, all-bases-covered R.
