Kelly Rowland Recruits Destiny's Child Bandmates For New Album

  • 07 April 2013

R&B star Kelly Rowland has recruited her former Destiny's Child bandmates _BEYONCE and Michelle Williams_ for a track on her upcoming solo album.

_B_eyonce reunited the Independent Women hitmakers for an appearance during her show-stopping Super _B_owl performance in February (13), and now Rowland reveals she has recorded a new soulful tune with her old pals for her forthcoming project, Talk A Good Game.

She tells _B_illboard.com, "It's not a Destiny's Child track, it's me featuring _B_eyonce and Michelle."

The as-yet-untitled song also features production by, and additional vocals from, Pharrell Williams and a guest verse from rapper Wiz Khalifa and it is one of 12 cuts which made the grade for her album tracklisting - but she insists it was a tough job narrowing down her favourites.

She says, "I think I recorded around 70-something songs for this album. I had to narrow it down to 12 - you know hard that is? Especially when you're in love, like your heart pumps for 35 of them... You just get so passionate and excited about these songs, you lived with them, you birthed them along with the producers... You become so attached."

Talk A Good Game, scheduled for release in June (13), is the follow-up to Rowland's 2011 album Here I Am.
