Kelly Rowland's "Rose Colored Glasses" and "Forever and a Day" Videos

Well, what do we have here? Kelly Rowland recently premiered two new videos, both which will serve as singles off her upcoming tentatively titled One Woman Show album. The first, Forever and a Day, dives deeper into the diva's new found love for dance music. Following in the steps of her past two dance hits When Love Takes Over and Commander, this new single (which for now will only be released overseas) should be a huge hit for her. The video, while not all that deep, serves its purpose and Ms. Rowland looks gorgeous. She did what she could with her budget and at the end of the day, the song is hot.



And then we have Rose Colored Glasses. Don't get me wrong, the song has grown on me, it really has. But this slow burner is not what Kelly Rowland needs right now to finally launch her from B-list status to the ranks of her rivals. I'm all for variety but not when it's noticeably lackluster. I don't think I would've chosen this song as an album cut let alone as a lead single to launch a new album. To add insult to injury, the video doesn't do anything for the song, although again, I have to say that Kelly Rowland looks stunning. But in this case the song isn't strong enough to stand on its own and neither is the video.



.. which is why I understand why her album has now been delayed until 2011. Kelly Rowland knows that this is her last chance to prove herself as a solo artist. The girl definitely has the chops and the looks, she's just lacking on the material. How she can work with the biggest producers and end up with these weak tracks is beyond me. I suggest ole' girl links up with Solange Knowles (who's written some of Kelly's best songs), call up some of the producers that worked with you on some of the Destiny's Child albums (9th Wonder I see you) and find a sound and stick with it. What good is potential if it is never fully developed? Come on girl, I know you can do it. In the meantime, check out some of her best tracks and performances.
