QUEENS of the RnB scene – former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland and rapper Eve – are ready to raise the roof at the Wayville Showground tonight.
Performing as part of RnB festival Supafest, the duo, who arrived in Adelaide yesterday, plunged straight into rehearsals with Rowland admitting she’ll have little time for sightseeing.
“Between rehearsals and making the show perfect, you don’t get much time. Hopefully I’ll put on a good show and be invited back,” Rowland said.
Moving from the RnB scene into a stronger dance territory for her next album – which she’s in the throes of recording – Rowland said the audience at tonight’s Supafest should expect a powerhouse show.
“Nothing but dance – a full non-stop energy show. I’m very intimate with the crowd. I like to look at the crowd and have fun,” Rowland said.
Despite Destiny’s Child formally disbanding in 2005, Rowland said she and former members Beyonce and Michelle Williams remain close and support each other’s solo careers.
“We’re still very close and we talk and it’s just like any other friendship,” she said.
Rowland headlines Supafest, which begins at 5pm and also features Eve, Akon, Jay Sean, Pitbull and Sean Paul.
Adelaide is the first stop on the tour which continues on the east coast.
