Jul 26, 2011Rowland has typically been one of R&B's more reserved presences, but on her third album, Here I Am, she sounds positively liberated-it's as if the same radioactive spider that gave Beyoncé her superhuman confidence finally bit Rowland, too.
-
Jul 22, 2011Her third solo album, Here I Am, proves that Ms. Rowland is doing just fine on her own, thank you; it's a solid if unambitious set of medium-hot finger snappers highlighted by the lusciously slinky top 20 hit ''Motivation''.

-
Aug 4, 2011While Rowland continues to define her own sound, it still feels like she's giving us who she thinks we want to hear, not who she is.
