Xpress: Featuring Kelly Rowland
Friday 23 September at 20:30
Rowland began her solo career in 2002 with the release of her debut album, Simply Deep, which contained influences of alternative-R&B and rock music. It included her joint worldwide number-one single, Dilemma, with rapper, Nelly, as well as subsequent singles, Stole, Can’t Nobody and Train on a Track. Following Destiny’s Child’s disbandment in 2005, Rowland released her second solo effort, Ms. Kelly, in 2007.
