Former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Roland will take longer than expected to release a second album. The untitled album, which was set to drop in July is now pending an early 2007 release date.

>”We want to make sure our marketing strategy is a multi-tiered approach that capitalizes on the synergies afforded by her other projects,” said Matthew Knowles, Rowland’s manager and father of Beyonce. “If she finds a better song or songs to add, we’ll use them. But that’s not the reason for changing the date. (Everyone) is pleased with the record Kelly made.”

Fans can expect a more introspective and urban album than her solo debut. Rowland can be seen on the cover of the “Vibe Vixen” summer issue May 16.
