The Spice Girls did it, All Saints did it and Girls Aloud are rumoured to be doing it for their ten year anniversary.

So maybe there is still hope to see Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams wiggling their hips in unison again and singing about paying their bills.

The girls, who played their final show as a trio in 2006, were reunited when Kelly's former bandmates flocked to the launch party of her new album Here I Am.

Supportive: Beyonce and Michelle Williams, both dressed in black, showed support for their friends

All dressed in black, they harped back to their Destiny's Child era when they wore matching outfits.

Kelly and Michelle opted for LBDs, while the Crazy In Love star headed out in a one-sleeve playsuit.

The New York event was held at the Moet Rose Lounge at the top of The Standard Hotel in honour of Kelly's third album efforts on her quest for solo stardom.

Earlier in the day, she made another bid to boost her career at a special hand-printing ceremony.

The singer showed she still knows how to work an audience when she stuck her hands in wet plaster at Planet Hollywood in NYC.

Wearing a pair of tiny hot pink, the 30-year-old drew a crowd to the Times Square event.

And hopefully her fans will now know where she is again, after a horrific period in her career that saw her sack Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles as her manager in 2009 and get axed by her record label months later.

She has struggled to emerge from her former bandmate Beyonce's shadow, despite scoring early solo chart success with the likes of Dilemma in 2002.

It's hard Work: The singer held up her album for photographers but was briefly spotted without it

Things certainly seem to be on the up for the sexy soul singer, as she has landed a spot as a judge on the revamped version of the UK edition of X Factor.

She will be hoping the extra exposure will help her new album fly off the shelves when it is released in the UK.

The record has had a difficult birthing process. It was originally meant to be released under the title Kelly Rowland last September.

However it was pushed back four times. with Kelly declaring it unfinished the month it was due to come out.

It has finally been released, and contains the work of a hodge-podge of writers and producers including Jermaine Dupri and Rico Love, while the likes of Sean Paul provide guest vocals.

It has been released to mix reviews, with some critics panning it and others strongly recommending it.
