In the days before springtime, Kelly Rowland released her Lil Wayne-assisted single, "Motivation." The song quickly caught on with fans and received massive radio play. For nearly a year, Kelly Rowland had been trying to release her third solo album. While working on getting a release date, Rowland fired Matthew Knowles as her manager.

It was after the management shakeup when Kelly Rowland began to experience success. "Motivation" was released right before the spring, right in time to become a summer anthem. Now, on the first day of summer, Kelly Rowland has received the best possible news. Her single has topped the R&B charts.

This is great for Kelly Rowland, as her new single, "Lay It On Me," featuring Big Sean, is quickly becoming a hit. With her album coming in less than a month, Kelly Rowland is peaking at the right time. She is also set to perform at the 2011 BET Awards and present Patti LaBelle with her lifetime achievement award.
