Ms. Kelly
Ms. Kelly is the second solo studio album by American recording artist Kelly Rowland. It was released on June 20, 2007 through Columbia Records in collaboration with Music World Entertainment. Originally titled My Story and expected for a mid-2006 release, the album marked Rowland's first solo studio album in four years. Retitled and delayed numerous times prior to its official release, the album's release date 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 her debut studio album Simply Deep (2002), Rowland contributed nine tracks to the reworked 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. - Wikipedia

“Ya’ll didn’t think that I could bump like this,” Kelly Rowland quips with a ghetto-Southern drawl on the lead single from her sophomore effort, Ms. Kelly.

Random J Pop
This time around Kelly has opted for an R&B record. The result being an album which allows her to be taken seriously as a solo artist. Although her album sales hardly reflect that.

After the numerous delays and title-changes, critics and fans alike could be forgiven for believing Kelly Rowland’s sophomore effort ‘Ms Kelly’ would never see the light of day. However, Rowland dispels any notion of ‘doubt’ on what is a highly sassy, confident and, yet, emotionally vulnerable record. With ‘Ms Kelly’, the Destiny’s Child singer firmly establishes her prowess as a solo artist. Ready or otherwise, Kelly Rowland – the solo star – has arrived.

AllMusic
Ms. Kelly sounds like an album where Rowland is mostly sorting through some deeply personal relationship issues with a couple relatively lighthearted songs thrown in for variety.

Entertainment Weekly
After a blah solo debut with 2002’s Simply Deep, Kelly Rowland — assisted by producers like Scott Storch (Christina Aguilera) and Polow Da Don (Pussycat Dolls) — brings the noise and the funk to her vibrant follow-up, Ms. Kelly.
