Kelly Rowland is aiming for a more adult fan base, as she has posed in a sexy new shoot for Vibe magazine. The 30-year-old star is seen posing topless on the cover of the publication, maintaining her modesty by concealing her breasts with her hands.
The shoot is the latest in a string of promotional pushes by Kelly to sell her latest album Here I Am, and its saucy first track Motivation.
The song, which has spent seven weeks at the top of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts, displays a more forthright attitude towards sex, including the racy lines: 'And when we're done, I don't want to feel my legs'.
However, perhaps importantly given her new role on family-orientated show The X Factor, Kelly was keen to stress that her new image was not about 'cheap' attention grabbing.
Explaining her new attitude, Kelly told Vibe: 'I just wanted it to be skin, I'm so comfortable in my skin. As a woman, sometimes that takes so long to get to. I'm not trying to sell sex. I'm just completely being myself. I don't let nobody dictate who I am. I did it that way for too long that I don't care about those people no more. I really don't.'
