Ensconced at her reserve table with Universal execs, Kelly Rowland literally shimmered in a light-reflecting Rubin Singer dress at Pat Field's disco party at 230 Fifth.

Some dance-club inclined friends of ours really like your new single, "Commander", we told the singer by way of an icebreaker.

She lit up. "It's such a summer jam," she said of the upbeat pop dance number. The song, released last week, is produced by David Guetta, who split a Grammy with Rowland for "When Love Takes Over." "Commander" is written by Rico Love.

"I go to bat for my records," Rowland said. "I know in my gut that it feels good. Nobody could take my thoughts away from that. I don't need anyone else to tell me it's good."

The video for the song, directed by Japanese director Masashi Muto, is currently in post-production. The video will be futuristic, Rowland said. "I didn't want it to be too military because that's so predictable."

She thinks the song could be a contender for Summer Jam of 2010. "The song keeps you moving," she said excitedly. "When I command you to dance," she pointed fiercely, "I want you moving, you know? It felt good to have a song that I could express that in."
