KELLY AT RADIO

We're having a little bit of a giggle tonight because Universal has serviced the new Kelly Rowland single 'Forever And A Day' to Australian radio and with it this quote, "Kelly Rowland returns with the follow-up to her smash single 'Commander'."
Now we don't know about you, but we don't really know that a peak of No.61 constitutes a "smash single".
In New Zealand and Germany perhaps. Even in the UK where it peaked inside the top ten. But No.61? Smash single... no.
Sadly, 'Commander' was one of those super, super songs that should have been a friggin' big hit - had it not got lost in the midst of all the other fine Universal Music releases they take out to radio week after week.
Hopefully the same won't be said for 'Forever And A Day', which is another brilliant David Guetta collaboration. But when Universal's gone out with it, Alex Gaudino's tune, new Eminem, new Brandon Flowers, new Akon and more, you know it's going to struggle to be heard over the din.
Stick with it, Universal - Kelly's a star and with that big, big voice, she deserves a big, big hit down under.
In other news, they've hinted that the singer's new album, her third, is set for a 2010 release.

Nooooo!.... Rose Colored Glasses is so much better!

Lets hope this one can do well here, because Commander is obviously better, but I quite like this one also.

Interesting choice for a single. It's weird there are like 3 around in the Us Grown Up, Rose Coloured Glasses and this. I think Rose is probably the best of the 3 but all great. She's so under-rated as is Commander which is brillant. Hope the album is out this year!
