Kelly Rowland joined Beyoncé in Destiny’s Child and later released the album Simply Deep.
Rowland became a member of the group that developed into Destiny’s Child, alongside Beyoncé and other singers during its changing early lineups. The group became one of the best-selling female groups in music history, with hits such as “Say My Name,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.”
Simply Deep was Rowland’s debut solo studio album, released in 2002. Its best-known single, “Dilemma,” featured rapper Nelly and became a major international hit. The album showed Rowland establishing a solo identity while Destiny’s Child remained active.
Rowland and Beyoncé continued to collaborate after the group’s success. Rowland appeared in Beyoncé’s 2013 song “Grown Woman” music video and joined Destiny’s Child reunions, including the group’s appearance during Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance.
