Reviews
A risk taking album from the Grammy award winning group Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland has proven enough that she can equal the success of her former group sooner or later. With her different style and personality, her album is absolutely Kelly, everything from lyrics to the beat, this album separates her from Destiny's Child sound. Something that would leave no one unsatisfied. --Raine 22 December 2006 24:30 PDT
