Roc Nation artist Bridget Kelly talks the delay of her album, losing 70 pounds, and her dream tour mate.

The delivery of “Cut To…Bridget Kelly” came in place of her debut album (slated for release last fall) not because there wasn’t enough material but mainly due to her label, Roc Nation.

“We’ve had a lot of back and forth about what songs to put on the album,” said Kelly. However, there was one factor that played a major part in the delay. “The promotion and marketing process,” she said. “We haven’t over the course of the last five years put a lot of material out.”

Aside from talking about her album and EP, Kelly talked about touring. After seeing K. Michelle and Sevyn Streeter come together for female unity, the New York native chose Jhené Aiko as a female artist she would like to hit the road with. “She’s a beautiful soul,” said Kelly. “She hasn’t compromised her artistry for anybody. Her music is deep and honest. She’s all about bringing warm positive energy and thought-provoking lyrics to the stage and I love that.“

Jhene is a talented writer but her influences come across more strongly than her personality.

Wow, 70 pounds. I didnt know BK use to be fat.

Stan a little.

I had seen Jhené at SOBs in NY, and Bridget had opened for her (or maybe they were co-headlining, idk). Anyway, I loved their collective vibe, and would love for them to tour together.

I made a trip up to NYC for that too!! Bridget killed it during her opening set and Jhené killed it as well. I was soooo tired though since the show didn't start until like midnight and I had worked earlier the day and took a train up to NYC for the night. It was really worth it though.
