While ‘Lay It On Me’ singer Kelly Rowland is hot on the promo trail for her newly released ‘Here I Am’, many-a-fan (and non-fans alike) have noticed the singer turn up the heat in other ways. From her seductive, slow jam ‘Motivation’ to her ‘Here I Am’ cd artwork, BET Awards performance, and recent VIBE cover, Miss Kelly has been been supplying no shortage of sexy.
When asked about her ‘new’ sexualized image, Rowland had this to say:

Fans who want to see even more of Rowland should check their local listings as the starlet is set to perform on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tomorrow night.

Via NY Daily News:
“I just wanted it to be skin, I’m so comfortable in my skin. As a woman, sometimes that takes so long to get to,” she said, recalling the moment when she held up the pair of jeans that served as her only wardrobe for the [VIBE] shoot.
“I’m not trying to sell sex,” she told the Daily News at her album release party at the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District Tuesday night.
“I’m just completely being myself. I don’t let nobody dictate who I am. I did that for way too long that I don’t care about those people no more. I really don’t.”

Even after six weeks Soul singer Jill Scott is still abuzz after learning her most recent album ‘Light of the Sun: Vol 1′ debuted at number 1 on Billboard 200. And though currently on a nationwide trek, the singer took time to chat it up in an in depth interview – sharing feelings on autotune, Amy Winehouse, and much more.

On autotune:
“Perfection is far too easy. Music doesn’t have enough guts and heart and soul.I’m not Auto-Tuned. I don’t like that. I want to sound genuine.”
On Amy Winehouse:
“I met her just once, in Philadelphia a few years ago. I thought she was incredible. There was a lot of soul and passion there, and honesty. The loss is . . . I think we all knew it was coming, you know? It was a catch-22. The more music she created, the more money she received and the more easily she could get her drugs.
Some people are so talented, they’re tortured. Maybe she was one of those people. I don’t know. I’m definitely sorry that I won’t be hearing new music from that voice anymore. It’s sad.”
On art imitating life:
“Artists really have to delve into what they’re feeling in order to make music that touches other people. We pull the sheets off real fast. It’s stark at first, the fact that you’re bare. But that’s where the best art comes from, from being bare.
Humanity is pretty incredible. There are so many emotions to delve into. When you do something like that and you’re naked in front of a crowd or naked on paper or naked onstage, it’s a freeing thing. I definitely believe artists have to suffer to a certain degree.”
