Michelle Williams
Since 2002, Destiny’s Child alum Michelle Williams has released two gospel albums; both received mixed reviews and neither produced notable sales. Moving on to a new stage in her musical career and personal life, however, Williams is preparing to release a new contemporary R&B project this August, appropriately entitled “Unexpected.”
A native of Rockford, Illinois, Williams started recording her new project in 2006, but after consulting with industry friends and family members she decided to scrap most of the material. Now, led by the current single, “We Break The Dawn,” the forthcoming album will include a hefty amount of up-tempo records. Collaborators on this new body of work include Rico Love, Jim Jonsin and Stargate.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth‘s DJ “Z,” Michelle steps inside the booth to clear up several misconceptions about the direction of her new music. In addition, she discusses the most unexpected moment in her life, the ability to have fun at a club without consuming alcohol, and the chances that Destiny’s Child will someday release a new album.
