X Factor judge Kelly Rowland fulfils her destiny with a new solo album
In the suite of a London hotel, Kelly Rowland’s record label rep has been frustratedly fiddling with the air conditioning for the past five minutes.
“I just can’t get it any hotter. I will need to call maintenance before Kelly gets here,” he says. I inwardly roll my eyes. Celebrities and their mollycoddling. What are they like?
Moments later, however, I’m thoroughly self-chastised as Rowland arrives emitting a huge wracking cough and clutching a handful of balled-up tissues. She is clearly under the weather. As she settles on the sofa, an assistant is dispatched to rustle up more tissues, hand sanitiser and a hot toddy (“My grandmother’s recipe with lots of honey,” the singer implores).
Dressed down in jeans and a white T-shirt, a grey Louis Vuitton scarf wrapped around her neck, Rowland speaks huskily between coughs, dabbing at her nose with a hanky, apologising for being so ill. “I barely slept,” she says. “I’ve been under the weather for almost a week now, still working but not feeling great. Other than that I’m blessed, I can’t complain.”
The past few years have seen Rowland attempt to claw her way back from the brink of the showbiz wilderness, striking out on her own after global hit-making machine Destiny’s Child split, parting company from her childhood manager and being dogged by rumours of a fierce rivalry with former bandmate Beyonce Knowles. During 2011, Rowland has managed to pull off an impressive 360, landing one of the hottest TV gigs as an X Factor judge and serving up a pretty decent offering in the form of her third solo album Here I Am.
Asked to reflect on that tough era before The X Factor, Rowland seems determined to remain philosophical. “It was a period of transition,” she says in her rich Southern drawl. “It’s funny how rumours start when people don’t know exactly what is going on in your life. That is a part of being in the music industry – period. People figure they know everything about you. People will talk. You need to have a thick skin.

So now as it's raining, a little grey and going dark really early – I'm having to look at other options to cheer me up, outside of cooking a sausage on my BBQ. The first place I looked, was to interview my favourite star of last week's X Factor – CHER
However, our review unit was grey and black, and although sites such as Carphone Warehouse show the white version on their page, they also state that it's only on their systems in grey. It may very well depend on where in the world you purchase it.
