On Monday, Kelly Rowland announced that she has completed the video for her much-discussed single, "Dirty Laundry."
"Thank you so much for your patience!" she wrote and posted the link to her YouTube account.
In the clip, the former Destiny's Child member lets down her guard as she reflects on a past abusive relationship, her difficulty coming to grips with Beyonce's success and coping with industry pressures.
The video begins with Kelly laying in the fetal position, dressed in a black bathing suit, completely surrounded by black water. Suddenly, we see the singer sitting in a chair, alone in a large, empty room with a spotlight directly behind her. Her solitude seemingly matches the lyrics, "Forget the records, off the record, I was going through some bullsh**/ Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullsh**?"
When Kelly sings, "Meanwhile this n***a is puttin' his hands on me," there's a silhouette of a woman being physically beaten by a man.
With black shades on, Kelly flashes back to having dinner with her abusive ex-boyfriend. Fans will witness Kelly's tears and raw emotion as she sings about Bey, "Kinda lucky I was in her shadow/ Phone call from my sister, 'What's the matter?'/ She said 'Oh no, baby you gotta leave/I’m on the kitchen floor, he took the keys."
Dressed in a long white gown, she falls underwater as the song continues, "I was battered/He hittin' the window like it was me, until it shattered." Just before the visual ends, Kelly slowly resurfaces.
The-Dream-penned song is lifted from Kelly's latest album, Talk a Good Game.
