Like This (Single)
Kelly Rowland
Released:
Mar 2007
Label:
Columbia
"Like This" recasts Sunday school-approved soul singer Kelly Rowland as a harder, hotter crunk vixen of sorts, complete with a frugal tablas-and-synths beat, a cameo by Eve (where you been, girl?) and minimalist vocals that mostly hover around a three-note range. It's nothing
spectacular, but it's a pleasant enough first single from her upcoming sophomore solo release. Problem is, Rowland can sing, and she needs
to be spectacular to dig her solo career out from under Beyonce's omnipresent shadow.
