Talk a Good Game

Talk a Good Game is the fourth studio album by the American singer Kelly Rowland. Formerly titled Year of the Woman, the album was released on June 18, 2013, by Universal Republic and its affiliated record labels. Incorporating a base core of pop and R&B music genres, Talk a Good Game was influenced by Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder among Rowland's other idols. She wanted the album to be a celebration of womanhood, and referred to the record as her most personal album to date. She co-wrote all but one song, "Freak", a cover version of the 2010 song by the entertainer Jamie Foxx from his album Best Night of My Life. A deluxe edition, and a Target-exclusive edition of the album with bonus tracks, were released simultaneously with the twelve-track standard edition.
