Kelly Rowlands karriere fik et nyt skud adrenalin i 2009, da hun slog folderne sammen med David Guetta og scorede et kæmpehit med "When love takes over". "Talk a good game" er dog ikke noget dance-eventyr, for Rowland er tilbage med et nysseligt og meget feminint album, tilbage ved sine gamle r&b-rødder, inspireret af Marvin Gaye og Stevie Wonder. Mest kontroversielt her er nummeret "Dirty laundry", hvor Kelly synger om at stå i skyggen af Beyoncé, hendes medsøster fra dagene i Destiny's Child.

"The album quickly stabilizes with satisfying, if mostly unexciting, material. Other than the lack of European dance-pop, the main difference between this set and Here I Am is the presence of Rowland's most revealing and powerful song, "Dirty Laundry."".

""Freak" is sexual solely for the scintillating electro beat, which Rowland tarnishes with passion-less lines like "You perform/ I cheer/ You scream/ No one hears." And The-Dream-aided "Sky Walker", which tantalizes with synth-pop and Chinese strings, lacks dynamic interplay between the pair; it's only salvaged because of Dream's excessive machismo. Other sexually-charged numbers (the cheap Weeknd knock-off "Red Wine", the demoralizing "Put Your Name On It") feel inorganic and contrived".
