For the August/September issue of Vibe Magazine, Kelly Rowland covers the issue topless. Well of course her hands are over the goods but still, it’s the thought of the matter that really counts. In this issue of Vibe, Kelly opens up about many things such as her relationship with the Knowles family, her seductive side, and her hit record “Motivation“. Above are a few excerpts from the magazine which hits newsstands August 16th. Vibe has also revealed that Amy Winehouse will cover the second issue of he magazine.

VIBE: The last album didn’t do well in the States. It did better overseas, particularly in Europe. Do you feel more appreciated in Europe?

Kelly Rowland: No, not really. People still compare me to B over there. I said in an interview recently, ‘You know, if you guys would be a little bit more intelligent and ask me about myself we’ll have a much better interview.’ You can’t want a story from me and keep asking me about the past.

Vibe: When you heard the song, did you think, This may be too racy for my image?

Kelly Rowland: Not at all. Every woman knows what that feels like—hopefully. But everyone doesn’t expect Kelly to sing about it. This is true. But I just loved the song so much. And yes, I can relate to it. I came into my sexuality while I was recording this album. I can walk into a sex shop now and not worry about what people would say if they saw me in there.
