Ms. Kelly

Ms. Kelly is the second solo studio album by American R&B singer Kelly Rowland. It was released by Columbia Records in collaboration with Music World Entertainment and Sony Music during the third quarter of 2007, beginning with most European territories on June 22. This will be the Kelly Rowland last album to be recorded with Music World Entertainment.

Rowland's first regular solo release in four years, the album was renamed and delayed numerous times prior to its official release. Originally branded My Story and expected for a mid-2006 release, the project was eventually moved to 2007 in favor of a "multi-tiered marketing strategy" and additional recording sessions. Willed to produce a more personal effort after fast-recorded 2002 album Simply Deep, Rowland contributed nine tracks to the re-worked version, Ms. Kelly, which took her solo work further into urban music markets, involving production by Scott Storch, Polow da Don, Soulshock & Karlin and singer Tank among others.

The album achieved reasonable commercial success, debuting within the top ten of the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 86,746 copies in its first week sales serve as Rowlands' highest sales start with a studio album to date. As a consequence, Columbia released two Deluxe reissues of the album the following year, containing previously unreleased songs and remixes.

Exclusively at Walmart, the original Ms. Kelly was packaged with a bonus DVD titled, BET Presents Kelly Rowland. The DVD features BET highlights, performance highlights, and music videos from Rowland's solo career.
