More about this title
About the Artist: Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland rose to prominence as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the most influential vocal groups of the 2000s. Her solo career spans R&B, pop, and gospel, with a particular gift for delivering emotionally direct performances that connect across genres. In educational settings, her work demonstrates how contemporary artists navigate stylistic range and vocal control across different musical contexts.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's arrangement transforms this contemporary pop collaboration into singable choral writing without sacrificing the song's infectious energy. The combination of a recognizable, radio-friendly melody with professional orchestration makes this an excellent choice for choirs aiming to engage modern audiences while maintaining musical credibility.
What to expect
Energized and uplifting, with the polished production quality you'd hear on a pop radio single. The arrangement captures the song's celebratory optimism while the choral writing remains grounded enough for singers to feel secure and excited about their parts.
Who it's for
Choirs looking to program contemporary material that feels current without compromising musicality will find this accessible and engaging. This works equally well for concert choirs wanting to expand beyond traditional classical repertoire and for pop or show choirs seeking professionally arranged crossover material.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal parts so the main melody sits clearly above the harmonic foundation; this song thrives on its pop sensibility, and clarity matters as much as blend.
- Lean into the rhythmic precision required by the accompaniment; tight ensemble work with the pre-recorded tracks will make the difference between a polished performance and a muddy one.
- Treat dynamics as essential storytelling; the building intensity in this piece demands careful attention to phrase shaping and not just singing at a single volume throughout.
How to use it
This pairs naturally with other contemporary pop arrangements in a spring or end-of-year concert celebrating modern music. It also works as a standalone feature in a set designed to showcase your ensemble's versatility and ability to connect with student and audience preferences beyond the traditional repertoire.
