Still on a high after the overwhelmingly positive reviews for her comeback to the live circuit via Brandy and Monica‘s blockbuster ‘The Boy Is Mine Tour,’ singer-actress Kelly Rowland seems poised to ride the momentum back to the top of R&B charts as she recently confirmed she’s hard-at-work on new music.

Chatting it up with Samantha Chatman on the ‘Mama, I Made It‘ podcast recently, Rowland revisited the success of ‘The Boy Is Mine Tour’ while dishing on everything from her career-at-large to reconnecting with her father, juggling her busy career with being wife and mom, and so much more.

A standout quote from the jam-packed interview was the GRAMMY winner’s confirmation that new music is in the works.

“I’m back in the studio…I’m very excited,” she stated (as seen in the video above).

And while she did not confirm if the new music will be an EP or her long-awaited fifth solo studio album (the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Talk a Good Game‘), Rowland was sure to clarify the project’s content will likely not be Dance-driven like some of her previous efforts.

“I think things do change all the time, but one thing that’s at the heart and foundation of who I am is R&B and you’re always going to get R&B – Rhythm and Blues and Soul,” she said about what anxious fans can expect from the forthcoming set. “[You’re going to get] real stories and authenticity – that’s the core of who I am and that’s definitely what you’re going to get.”

When quizzed on why it’s been nearly 5 years since her beloved supporters (affectionately called #RowlandStones) last got a body of work from her (i.e. the 2021-released ‘K’ EP), Kelly shared what’s discouraged her.

“I think for me I’ve always second-guessed myself when it came to music. I’ve watched things move so fast and for a second it turned me off,” Rowland relayed before suggesting conversations with Beyonce is partly what encouraged her musical comeback.

At writing, Kelly has not provided a tentative date for when the album or EP will be released.
