The three Destiny's Child stars will appear together on the song 'You Changed', which will feature on Rowland's forthcoming new album 'Talk A Good Game'.

The dormant pop group also reunited under the Destiny's Child guise earlier this year for new track 'Nuclear', whilst Rowland and Williams performed with Beyoncé's at the Super Bowl half-time show in February.

Other guests due to feature on 'Talk A Good Game' include Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T and Kevin Cossom.

The album is due to be released in the UK on June 17 and a day later in the US.

The show was two judges down for a number of months after LA Reid and Britney Spears left following the 2012 series.

Former X Factor UK judge Rowland and The Voice Mexico star Paulina Rubio have now been confirmed to replace the outgoing judges and sit alongside the returning Demi Lovato. Simon Cowell said about the new appointments:

"It's taken more than a decade, but I'm delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!). Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different."

Rowland meanwhile said: "I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and The X Factor family. It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the States."

Rubio added: "I love The X Factor! I can't wait to find the next big music star here in America. I'm so thrilled to be part of the show as a judge."

The first auditions for the X Factor USA will take place today (May 21) in Charleston, SC.

As previously reported, the singer recently revealed the track 'Dirty Laundry', which is due to come from her upcoming album 'Talk A Good Game'.

The song appears to discuss living in the shadow of Destiny's Child bandmate Beyoncé, as well as mentioning an abusive relationship.

Speaking to Billboard, Rowland admitted that it took longer than usual to cut the vocal track to tape because of an outpouring of feelings. She said:

"It was very emotional. It took me days to record. I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. [Producer] The-Dream said, 'I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all'."

The-Dream added: "What unfolds on TV or on the internet, it's never really that. You think it is but it's just not. When you have a stage like Kelly has, you should talk about that part of your life. I think Kelly's way deeper than that."

The singer is releasing the track 'Dirty Laundry' as the latest cut from new record 'Talk A Good Game', which is due to be unleashed on June 18.

Rowland appears to discuss Destiny's Child bandmate Beyoncé and how the '4' star has achieved more popularity than her.

The lyrics to 'Dirty Laundry' include the lines:

"When my sister was on stage killin' it like a motherf*cker/I was enraged, feelin' it like a motherf*cker/Bird in a cage/You would never know what I was dealin' with/Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin' it/Bittersweet/She was up, I was down/No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?/Forget the records, off the record/I was goin' through some bullsh*t/Post-Survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullsh*t?"

Rowland also appears to mention an abusive past relationship, singing: "Meanwhile this n*gga puttin' his hands on me...I was battered/He hit the window like it was me, until it shattered."

The US star is due to release the track 'Dirty Laundry' as the next cut from her forthcoming new album.

It will be called 'Talk A Good Game' and it will feature previous single 'Kisses Down Low'.

Rowland has now issued a teaser video for 'Dirty Laundry', which will be released as a single in the US on May 21.

It sees a washing machine in full spin as the track plays in the background.

As previously reported, the Destiny's Child star recently released a revealing cover for her forthcoming new album, which can be seen below.

'Talk A Good Game' is due to be released on June 18.

The US star is due to release the record 'Talk A Good Game' later this year in what will be her fourth solo studio outing.

Rowland has now unleashed the album's cover via Instagram, revealing the release date in the process. She said:

"My new album 'Talk A Good Game' hits stores on June 18th! - xoxo."

The sultry artwork sees for the former X Factor UK judge pose in front of the camera whilst wearing a see-through top.

'Talk A Good Game' will mark the follow-up to Rowland's 2011 effort 'Here I Am', which spawned tracks such as 'Commander' and 'Motivation'.

Speaking to E! Online, the 32-year-old 'Kisses Down Low' star explained that she doesn't want to commit time to another person at the moment and is just enjoying the pace of her lifestyle:

"I'm not ready, I'm not ready to have a child. No! I can be very honest. Because right now, I'm a bit selfish, a lot – I was gonna say a little – but I'm still selfish. I like my time, I like to wake up whenever I want to and I like to come and go as I please. I don't know if I'm ready to share that time with another person, I don't wanna mess them up."

Meanwhile, she is preparing to release her new studio album 'Talk a Good Game' in June and recently confessed that it features a collaboration with her former bandmates Michelle Williams and Beyoncé, but doesn't want fans to see it as a Destiny's Child song.

Watch her latest music video here:

The 'Kisses Down Low' hitmaker explained to Billboard that while the girls got together to lay down group vocals on the track, it isn't a Destiny's Child song and she doesn't want fans to see it as that:

"It's not a Destiny's Child track, it's me featuring Beyonce and Michelle."

Rowland added that the album, which includes 12 songs, is named 'Talk A Good Game' and it's due to be released on June 4 through Universal’s Republic Records. She said that the offering “feels like everything I wanted to make as far as music and R&B. I wanted to make sure my roots were really pronounced on this album."

Watch her latest music video here:

Rowland said only a dozen songs willl appear on the album despite recording a lot more, she said: 

"I think I recorded around 70-something songs for this album. I had to narrow it down to 12 – you know hard that is!?! Especially when you’re in love, like your heart pumps for 35 of them.

"I kept going back and forth with my A&R and my manager, we’ve all been on this incredible journey together, and they’re just like ‘Save it for the next album!’ Because you just get so passionate and excited about these songs, you lived with them, you birthed them along with the producers. You become so attached.”

Rowland also revealed her excitement to be playing a concert after months trapped in a recording studio. Speaking of her Courvoisier Cognac concert, she said:

“I was excited to perform because it’s been a minute since I’ve been onstage. I’ve been in the studio so much, this is a nice little escapism from all the hard work.”

The US star is releasing the track 'Kisses Down Low' from her forthcoming new album 'Talk A Good Game'.

The record is due to hit shelves later this year, but Rowland has now made the video for the new single live.

It sees the former X Factor UK judge don a number of different hair styles and colours, including blonde.

She can be seen indulging in her fun and also sultry side as she poses for the camera and dances along to the number.

Kelly Rowland meanwhile recently performed with a reunited Destiny's Child at the 2013 Super Bowl in February.

Rowland and Michelle Williams joined Beyoncé during her much-talked about half time performance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans last month, delighting their fans and audiences alike.

However, Cole criticised band member Williams on Twitter, posting: "I think I was frightened to blink for a sec. Then Michell sung and woke my a** up from my daze! She always f**kN the groove up (sic)."

The star was slammed by Destiny's Child fans, but Rowland insist Cole's comments don't matter.

Speaking to RollingStone.com she said: "It didn't even make it on my radar until other people brought it up. It didn't even matter. We had a wonderful performance, and that's all I cared about. I was with my sisters and the three of us matter to each other, and that's all that counts. We matter to a lot more people, with all due respect, than her.

She added: "So, I really don't care what she said."

The singer is releasing the track 'Ice' from her forthcoming new album 'Year of the Woman'.

The song's accompanying video has now been released, which showcases Rowland's sultry side.

The former X Factor UK judge is seen dancing in little clothing, whilst another scene focuses on a man rubbing an ice cube on the singer's bare flesh.

'Ice', meanwhile, features a guest cameo from rapper Lil Wayne.

As previously reported, Rowland earlier this year dismissed rumours that her old band Destiny's Child be set to reunite.

The former X Factor UK judge's last album 'Here I Am' was released in 2011 but it seems Rowland is keen on continuing her momentum.

In a statement on her official website, Rowland confirmed that she will be unleashing 'Year of the Woman' as her next record, which will be her fourth studio effort. She said:

"I'm so excited to reveal the title of my fourth solo studio album. For weeks I have been using the hashtag #YOTW which stands for my next album which is titled 'Year of the Woman'."

Rowland continued: "This album is one of my greatest pieces of work and I cannot wait to share it with you guys!"

'Year of the Woman' is expected to be released next year.

Although Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles, told the press that two albums containing previously unheard material from the well-loved girl group will be released later this year, Rowland confirmed that a full-on reunion won't happen:

"We have a good time together and I think that's the most important thing. We don't want to scratch each other's eyes out; we love each other too much."

"If (reuniting is) something that we would want to do, you know, (we would do it) but in the meantime we're just enjoying each other's friendship. That's the greatest gift of Destiny's Child."

Rowland has also revealed that during her time as a judge on 'The X Factor' Simon Cowell often blamed her when things went wrong on the show: "It is a lot of responsibility and when, or if, you screw up everybody blames you. Simon included."

The 31-year-old, who is currently recording the follow-up to 2011’s 'Here I Am' with the likes of Rico Love, Sean Garrett, and T-Minus, told Vegas magazine that she wants the album to represent ladies everywhere:

“I am more excited going into it this time than last time because I have a concept. I’m making this album for my ladies, oh, yes, and it is strong.

“All of the producers I’ve been working with get the concept so much that they brought in a little more aggressive—and sometimes masculine—approach, but there is a really incredible top line: I want to tell women how incredible we are, how our intuition is so spot-on. Sometimes we don’t listen to it, but it is the thing that can actually make us happier.”

However, the former Destiny’s Child star, who last month confirmed she would not be returning to The X-Factor, said that her male fans shouldn’t feel left out:

“I know that men will buy it. Y’all will definitely buy it and sing to it. You’ll say, ‘I can’t believe I’m singing to this!’ If you want to learn about women, listen to my next album!”
