Kelly Rowland is well and truly back and is kicking the summer off in style.

Hot on the heels of Grammy award-winning number one smash When Love Takes Over, Kelly has teamed up again with DJ supremo David Guetta with her fabulous brand new single, Commander.

Kelly has amassed more than 60 million record sales since being in Destiny's Child and she has had two international number one hits with duets with Nelly and David Guetta.

Commander is another smash which is not only produced by the legendary Guetta but also written by Grammy award-winner Rico Love (Beyoncé – I Am… Sacha Fierce, Usher Raymond vs Raymond). It has been an amazing year for Kelly, who was signed personally by the president of Universal Motown records Sylvia Rhone for her new record.

Commander shows a different side to Kelly and for the video she plays a different role.

She said: "The whole concept is very futuristic, very cool, it's about me being the commander above anything, but it adds a different element of a club atmosphere. I had to pull out my dancing shoes for this video!"

Writer of the track, Rico Love, says: "This is a club smash, a worldwide international record, Kelly's showing her true vocal ability here, she's like the queen of the night on this record."

The single comes remixed by Redlight and also with a house workout by Pitron & Sanna.

One of the hottest dance releases of 2010,Tha Vill teams up with London's legendary R&B queen Kele Le Roc to produce a massive cross-atlantic smash.

An initial low-key launch to the UK urban scene in the spring saw this record crash in at number nine in the UK DMC R&B charts, with phenomenal support on early mixes from select DJs at stations such as Unity, Sine, déjà vu, Bang, Newstyle, Rinse, Hot92, Phatbeats, and LWR.

Now with the full package of mixes in place and an official release date of August 23 set, More Than Just Friends is about to make a huge impact

While Kele Le Roc needs no introduction to the UK, Tha Vill is an LA-based artist who has worked with and produced for such luminaries as the Game, Akon, The Saturdays, TQ and Flo Rida with a background in both urban and dance music.

An outstanding online presence has seen his near four million hits to date make him a MySpace featured artist and built an extensive global fan base.

He has also written station idents for the MTV, VH1 and Fox networks in the States, his track Fiber Optic Love is to be used in the upcoming movie How To Make Love To A Woman with Jenna Jameson and he is recognised as one of the innovators of the nu-tek production style used by artists such as Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West.

The super-commercial dance sound of the lead track has already has several top stations on alert, while P-Rida's slammin' Miami Dance mix has had dance floors packed for months.

Watch out for news on an affiliated video and national dance-off competition coming soon.
