Kelly Rowland Brightens Up The World Cup With “Everywhere You Go”

Two months after the song first popped up, the official music video for Kelly Rowland’s FIFA World Cup theme song “Everywhere You Go” has arrived. Officially billed as Rhythm Of Africa United, artists from all over the continent—such as 2face, Samini, Chameleone, Krotal and Rola—sing alongside Kelly and appear in the bright yellow Andrew Wessels-directed clip. Go stronger, go longer and go below to watch!

Miss Kelly’s football anthem is just one of many, including R. Kelly’s G-rated “Sign Of Victory,” K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” and Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa).” Annoyingly, however, the Rhythm Of Africa United song doesn’t appear on the Listen Up! The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album compilation that’s available on iTunes.

Proceeds from the Steve Morales-produced song go toward the organizations United Against Malaria and 1Goal.

Meanwhile, it’s been a busy time for the former Destiny’s Child diva. In addition to posing for magazine spreads and promoting her current single “Commander” overseas (not to mention dodging dolphins), Rowland performed at Los Angeles’ Gay Pride festival last weekend and is gearing up for her two new singles, “Grown Woman” and the Dr. Luke-produced “Rose Colored Glasses,” ahead of the release of her third solo album this fall.

Phew! Like the song says, it looks like everywhere you go, there’s Kelly Rowland.
