"As an artist I've allowed myself to try different things in the studio," Rowland told Billboard.com.

"Where I would have been a little scared, I allowed myself to just be. I wasn't afraid."

Destiny’s Child broke up in 2005, and while fans clamor for a rumor Rowland says the group members haven’t even discussed it, even though they remain close to each other.

“It's just really great that we're all doing different things and we're all happy in our space," Rowland told Billboard.com.

Most critics seem to agree that Rowland’s new effort displays a lot of confidence and top-notch collaborations.
