Kelly Rowland has solidified at #1 on the top of the charts with her new single, “Motivation” featuring Lil Wayne. The song made it’s debut on the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts 10 weeks ago and climbed it’s way to the top, giving Kelly her 2nd #1 (the first being “When Love Takes Over” which topped the Hot Dance Airplay & Dance Club Songs charts in 2009). Go Kelz!
Rico Love, who penned the song, recently revealed how excited he was to see Kelly back in the lead in an interview with Singersroom.com:
I’m excited for her because she deserves it. She’s a superstar. Sometimes you have to let people know how much of a star they are; you have to remind them how great they are because being in a situation where she was number two for so long and not in a bad way because that was her role, it’s kinda hard to step outside of that. So to be able to help her step outside of that and realize that she’s a leading lady and make her command her own presence in the studio and fighting with her and her fighting back and us just meeting in the middle and saying ‘this is what we’re going to do;’ we gonna make history. It’s exciting to see the numbers and I’m proud of her.”
Jim Jonsin, producer of the record, tells Rap Up:
I’m really happy that things are going well for her on this record. A real concern for us was to get that smash for her,” the hitmaker told Rap-Up.com. “She’s a friend of ours as well, so to see her win is huge.”
Well deserved!
Kelly is currently working on a new album titled, “Here I Am” that will be released later this year and she will also join Simon Cowell as a judge on the UK’s “X-Factor”. Big things poppin!
