Kelly Rowland - Grown Woman
Artist: Kelly Rowland
Producer: Stargate
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Republic Records
Kelly Rowland may have been a Child when she kicked off her musical career alongside Beyoncé and Michelle Williams, but that was a long time ago. Now 29-years-old, the singer’s matured into a “Grown-ass Woman” – and, as she explains on the latest single off her forthcoming third solo album, that means no more high-school drama or catfights. Heavyweight production duo Stargate man the boards on this pop-appealing joint, serving up a low-key mix of synths and acoustic/electric guitar as Rowland tells her fella’s jealous ex what would happen to her if the artist wasn’t too much of a damn lady to stoop to that level: “I ain’t gonna mess up my hair tryin’ to go there, break a damn nail or a heel trying to knock you out – but you’d have a problem, no doubt.” Yeah, it’s a little passive-aggressive, but I have a feeling plenty of females will be able to relate to Rowland’s frustration. In any case, fans should keep it locked for the latest on the singer’s currently-untitled LP, which has yet to receive a solid release date from the Universal Motown brass.

Kelly's vocals are airy, full of life, and perfect for spins on the radio. Now, onto Stargate. I'm sorry, but they've fallen victim to Swizz Beatz Syndrome. What is SBS, you ask? Oh, that's simple: when every beat you make starts to sound the exact same.
I know this song is called "Grown Woman," but we've already heard it dressed up as something else and sung by another artist. Let's try something a little different next time?

theirs no denying djz that the beat is exceptional and kelly's voice is so welcoming so this is already a good song. her approach is exceptional here aswell especially since this track require alot of energy defnitly a womans anthem type track and that hook is real catchy, this shoud do god on the radio, i think that beat just takes this over just a rotation, i believe this is banger.

Even though it has been sung by another artist, and the beat sounds like its been used 100 times before, this is still a solid track. Smooth vocals from Kelly.

Awww that's too bad...I always thought Kelly would be a great addition to the High School Musical cast. Oh well.
This is great, but relies too heavily on the hook to achieve that greatness. In other words, it's exciting on the first listen, maybe the second, but will dry up quickly thereafter. |

Hot stuff, probably the best I've ever heard from a solo Kelly effort. Sure, its theme brings "Irreplaceable" to mind, but its still a good song.

Love it Z, SBS is apparently contagious. This actually sounds really Ne-Yo ish to me (great Irreplaceable call dillon_68), which is to say the quality's high, and Kelly's vocals are great, but it does sound like we've heard it before. I'm a Kelly fan, hopefully we'll get the new album soon.

Z, I'm with ya there. To be honest, when they first got big, they'd caught SBS (Other cases include Mannie Fresh). (To me, I think it sounds like Rihanna's "Rehab").
A mix of her ol' R&B style and her new dance style...Should please both worlds. |

I like Kelly Rowland, and Stargate production. They really complimaent each other here. Her voice sounds so much more strong and mature on this song not to mention lyrical content I'd like to hear more new Ms. Rowland soon on her next album installement.

The beat definitely brings this song out, however Kelly’s soft but powerful vocals makes the song complete.

Ok so I'm kinda torn: On one hand I love the production and the lyrics of the song and I love Kelly's voice.
However, because of the kind of lyrics, I was looking for a little more agression in Kelly's vocals. I wasn't convinced that she was irritated with the girl. I like the song, but I was just waiting for her to just belt out some notes! |

Stargate's beats are catchy enough to stick, but Erik and Tor's drum pattern sounds similar to another "Letting Go" or "Rude Boy".
The guitar patterns does sound just like "Irreplaceable", I agree. Kelly's voice is great and radio-ready, but they do need more emotional vocal tension in them. |
