After much speculation, multiple award winning American singer and actress, Kelly Rowland, has been unveiled as the surprise act performing at the second edition of Darey Art Alade’s critically acclaimed music concert, Love Like a Movie: TheLove Roller Coaster!

The popular Grammy Award winning artiste and former member of the best selling female R N’ B group of all time, Destiny’s Child, will electrify the stage accompanied by her world famous dancers.

The fashionable songstress, recognized by UK magazine, Glamour, in 2012, as one of the best-dressed women in the world will also be hosting the red carpet/fashion police with Darey and analyzing the style and fashion that will grace the red carpet in this year’s edition of Love Like a Movie (LLAM).

LLAM 2, an exciting fusing of world-class music and breathtaking theatrics promises to surpass the incredible excitement provided in Season 1 with an amazing line up of artistes and performances.

Speaking on why Miss Rowland was selected, Darey Art Alade says “Kelly is a great performer and we’re delighted to have her on board LLAM Season 2: The Love Roller Coaster! She’s an extremely talented artiste, beautiful, sexy, very friendly and humane. She will undoubtedly enjoy her stay in Nigeria and I’m also hoping she will try some pounded yam and efo riro before she leaves!

“I’m so excited to be a part of this innovative concert! And I’m really looking forward to coming to Nigeria too. I hear LLAM Season 1 was simply magical and I really can’t wait to get on stage and give a great show.

“There’ll be a little bit of everything and much more at this year’s edition of Love like A Movie -music, excitement, amazing acrobatics and lots of jaw dropping surprises.

This open air event will host aerial artistes flying from cranes and other spectacular displays not forgetting the suspense that promises to hold our guests spellbound right from the first note, Darey assures.”
